I concur!
From the site:
Since trying Michael Menkin’s Helmet, I have not been bothered by alien mind control. Now my thoughts are my own. I have achieved meaningful work and am contributing to society.
My life is better than ever before. Thank you Michael for the work you are doing to save all humanity.
Make yours today!

Naquadah Generators!
You know how on Stargate Atlantis they are always talking about using Naquadah generators when the ZPMs aren’t working?
Well, you can now buy Naquadah generators …. FOR REAL
It’s about $25 million for something about the size of a hot tub that can provide a continous 25 megawatts (like 20,000 homes) for about 5 years with zero maintainence.

Update, they changed their name to Gen 4 Energy
This is on my x-mas wish list.
Do You Hear Something?
When I look at this image, I can -hear- something. Seriously. It’s weirding me out.
It’s like I can hear the flip-flopping of the nand gates in my brain. Not really a buzzing, more of a rythmic humming.
Or maybe I’m just hearing the air handler on the building down the street. What do you think? What do you hear?
Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen
Today’s sage advice:
Sony Bravia Bouncy Balls Video
[Update 12-14-24, here it is on Youtube!!]
Today’s joy:
A high resolution Bravia Bouncy Ball Video. Download and play this 78mb video. It will endevour to make you a little happier. Sorry, I don’t have a streaming version of this. I tried but the fine details of the video don’t show well as a Flash video.
If you’re into Bittorrent, here’s a Torrent file of it.
A skeleton walks into a bar…
He calls over to the bartender and asks him for a beer and a mop.
