People are soooooo stupid

weight and leads to higher fuel efficiency.

more lightening possible...

:crazy:

And the truly pathetic part? When I heard about this utterly ridiculous-sounding story, confirmed by multiple press sources, the tiniest flicker of doubt never crossed my mind - not even for an instant.

Florida's citrus crop contributes billions of dollars to the state's economy, so when that industry is threatened, anything that might help is considered. Back in 2001, when citrus canker was blighting the crop and threatening to reduce that vital source of revenue, an interesting—if not quite scientific—alternative was considered.

Katherine Harris, then Florida's Secretary of State—and now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives—ordered a study in which, according to an article by Jim Stratton in the Orlando Sentinel, "Researchers worked with a rabbi and a cardiologist to test ‘Celestial Drops,' promoted as a canker inhibitor because of its ‘improved fractal design,' ‘infinite levels of order,' and ‘high energy and low entropy.'"

The study determined that the product tested was, basically, water that had apparently been blessed according to the principles of Kabbalic mysticism, "chang its molecular structure and imbu it with supernatural healing powers."

For a $20,000,000 grant from the DOE I will have an ice sculptor sculpt a giant pyramid large enough to place a Lincoln Navigator under it. I will then hire a rabbi to bless the water in the ice sculpture, buy a Navigator, and place it under the ice sculpture to see if it improves the fuel economy to something comparable to a Prius.

For an extra $20,000,000 I will buy two Navigators and compare the results of the "biochips" and the blessed ice pyramid.

And now for my special discount package rate: For $150,000,000 I will do all of these tests for Navigators and Hummers and, for a kicker, I will throw in "contributions" vital to the campaigns of Ms. Harris, Mr. Delay, Mr Hassert, et al. You know essential things, like all expense paid vacations - I mean working sessions - at the Palmas Del Mar Resort in Puerto Rico, luxury homes in Ranch Santa Fe, trips to Hilton Head, Aspen, and places like that. Free cuban cigars all around too.

Just a thought . . .

:toast:

government for the added expense?
