Anyone who wants to invest in this, I have a better ideal, I just got a note the other day from the widow of an African finance minister who wants me to help her get $27,000,000 dollars out of Ivory Coast, and she'll give me 10% if I just give her my bank routing number. I'm holding out for a higher percentage, but anyone who wants to invest in cold fusion might want to settle for 10%.
“Announce successful pill that turns water into motor fuel.”
I actually saw a fictional story on exactly that on TV about 45 years ago. I have NO idea what the show was...Amazing Stories or something. Wasn’t Twilight Zone, it was supposed to be based on a true story. All their episodes were, I think. (Sorry to be so vague. It wasn’t a show I watch regularly.)
All I really remember is that a guy — maybe 1920s or ‘30s era — runs out of gas. He asks a man if he can use his water hose, fills his gas tank with water, throws in a little pill or three, and drives off. The good Samaritan stands there scratching his head as the other fellow drives away.
I think the only reason I remember it at all is because it was supposedly based on a true story.
I was going to make that announcement today, but was concerned that the EPA would over-regulate it. OTOH, if I make the announcment at 4PM on a Friday, like the (In)Justice Department did with all of their document dumps regarding Fast & Furious, it could all fly under the radar.
Double touche before lunch! I win!
