You know you're a mad scientist when...you're fiddling around with ideas for a stun gun for your robot dog, and you realize you've come up with an
idea for a beam weapon....

*chuckles wryly* I was trying to figure out how to do a stun gun so I could build a version of K-9 for Fenspace. I thought it might be possible to do a taser
sort of setup, but how to conduct the charge to the target? Then I got to thinking - a forcefield could probably be set up to conduct a charge. So set up a
field/holoemitter to do a beam (which gives you your nice ray effect) and have that conduct a taser charge to the target.

Fairly simple, so doing a version of K-9 was a go. Then I realized...if you do a small version, what's to stop a much larger version? It's not like you
need any major setup for it - just need a capacitor to store LARGE amounts of electricity, a very strong holoemitter to do your conductor beam...and ZAP.

So - who likes Lightning Cannons? I'm not quite sure what effects it would have against spaceships, but unless they're specially shielded against
electricity, I imagine it could fry systems, at the very least....possibly a lot more. It seems like something Tesla and I might've come up with.

Just so you know, I'm trying to be fair here. My personal policy is not give in to ODS (Obama Derangement
Syndrome, as opposed to B(ush)DS). I have my bias of course, and I'm going to be critical of Obama, but I'll try and keep it to things he actually
does, rather than things that he is anticipated to do. No wild conspiracy theories here.

That said, I think in terms of foreign relations, he may already have shot himself in the foot. And that's not good for the country as a whole. And
I'll bet you that the WAY in which he shot himself is something you didn't even think of.

To wit -

Remember this story?

Drudge reports:

Quote: Just hours after President Bush and President-elect Obama met in the Oval Office of the White House, details of their confidential conversation began leaking
out to the press, igniting anger from the president, sources claim.

"Senator Obama would be wise to keep close counsel," a top Bush source warned.

"BUSH AND OBAMA AT ODDS OVER AID FOR AUTO INDUSTRY," splashed the NEW YORK TIMES in an exclusive Monday evening, quoting "people familiar
with the discussion."

The two met at the White House in private, without staff.

"Bush indicated at the meeting that he might support some aid and a broader economic stimulus package if Obama and congressional Democrats
dropped their opposition to a free-trade agreement with Colombia," claimed the TIMES. . . .

The ASSOCIATED PRESS quickly followed with details of the conversation, citing "aides who described the discussion on grounds of anonymity, citing
the private nature of the meeting."

Bush advisers view the leaks as an effort to undermine the president's remaining days in office.

"Senator Obama may not be familiar with a long-standing tradition of presidents holding their private conversations, private," a senior adviser
explained to the DRUDGE REPORT.

I believed the claim that she didn't know that Afirca was a continent not a country without any actual evidence.

I'm sorry.

I still hate her and everything she represents, but I'm sorry I bleieved this one rumor.

By Fizzy Bangers, from the album "Short Songs for Short People," about eight seconds long, with lyrics as follows:

Why can't people understand?

I've got a short attention span,

Short attention span!

Effect: scrambles others' short-term memory?

I see that Gov. Palin has alredy started her bid for the presidency in 2012. Quoting from http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/election ... alin-.html]this article:

Quote:I'm like, ‘OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere ... don't let me miss the open door.’ And if there is an open door in ’12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door.

I'm not sure any of those jokes are that funny. (Well, the one is amusing when set in the context of the article.)
