As to wind power, I have a fun April's Fools Day memo in mind. Maybe a fellow Piclist member can help with this joke. I would like to prepare a press release or memo that states that after exhaustive research, some official sounding organization has found proof that at the present rate of construction of windmills around the world for energy production, that within a few years we will slow down the rotation of the earth due to all the friction against the wind, etc., etc., and that our days will be getting longer. By 2025 we will be adding 1/2 hour or something like that to each day. I'm sure we could write something that would get picked up by some newswire and we could all have a few laughs. An takers? -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
