A song for starlit beaches

Steorn have apparently invented a source of free energy or (to quote them):

… have developed a technology that produces free, clean and constant energy.
This means never having to recharge your phone, never having to refuel your car. A world with an infinite supply of clean energy for all.
Our technology has been independently validated by engineers and scientists – always off the record, always proven to work.

At this point I would like to stress the part I have highlighted always off the record. You can accuse scientists of many things but if they had verified this claim they would be the first people investing in this company. But anyway maybe they have done what they claim and maybe they haven’t (the current laws of physics say they haven’t, tricky things those laws) but what I really like is their use of a George Bernard Shaw quote:

“All great truths begin as blasphemies”

Because it reinforces an idea I have of the moronic use of these proverb-like sayings. We all know “Great minds think alike” but do we know “fools seldom differ” which completes the (half) over used proverb? It seems many don’t and there are other examples but Steorn take the biscuit remember they said:

“All great truths begin as blasphemies”

Which for them is an answer to their scientific critics who have a fondness, we’ll say, for the fundamental laws which underpin our universe but I think the full quote is more enlightening:

“All great truths begin as blasphemies, but all blasphemies do not become great truths.”

Does this reveal more about Steorn then they hoped? We’ll see.

Just to show I’m not beyond strategic quotation. This is an actual quote from Pete Doherty where he outlines his plan for the future of Britain:

Kick out the blacks and the Irish

Did I misquote him? No, he did say this but I definitely mis-contextualised it but who cares he’s a talentless junkie who apparently can write songs and play guitar. Neither these things I have seen or heard any proof of having heard what he would refer to as his “compositions”. So I say “Dear Mr Doherty, die in the gutter slowly and painfully but if you can’t do that at least please disappear from the planet without inflicting any more of your music on the world”.

Link of the day:
I don’t know if I’ll get in trouble for this but here is a link to a flash game featuring Eddie of Iron Maiden fame. If ya do well enough you get entered into a prize draw.

Later days,
Halo.

  1. Man, you’ve become even more of a Physics geek now than I had previously feared…. I just think there’s no hope for you now
