A Really Original Spam E-mail!

Hi,

just thought I’d share this with you, its a bit of spam I recived via e-mail and it is the most original concept I’ve recived.

Hello,

Did you know that you could completely eliminate your power bill by
constructing a zero point magnetic power generator?

A Zero point magnetic power generator is basically a Free  Energy
Generator. It  uses  magnets, and magnetic  force to  induce  perpetual
motion. And this perpetual  motion  will help  to  rotate the generator
motor  that  will  produce power. It runs  by  itself indefinitely
without stopping, thus creating completely free electrical energy, which
can fully power your home for free.

Magnetic power generator can work 24/7 and whatever disaster may come. All
you need is a small space on your house.

Have a great day!

The LHC Rap

Hello,

This is probably old news now but I found it pretty cool.
A worker at CERN offered to explain how the LHC works by producing a rapp song about it.  Her name is “Kate McAlpine” (her rapper name “alpinekat”).  Aged 24 she wrote the lyrics whilst on her 40 minute bus commute from Geneva to the CERN site.

Personally I think it’s amazing.  Here it is.

My Sisters spaceship design

Hi,

To all of you who have a younger sister (around 5 years old) you probably know she does some cute and funny (and sometimes annoying) things, but this is one of the weirdest things my sister has done.

The other day, just after tying her dolly to the car, she instantaneously decided to build a spaceship and incredibly the whole ship can be made out of only the following (someone should tell NASA);

1. Three Shirts (long sleeve)

2. Piece of string

3. Tin Foil

Apparently it has (in this order) 1. the Handlebar 2. the Front Engine 3. the Back Engine 4. A Sign telling the animals (whatever they are doing on there) ‘do not make too much noise’.  I asked her why it doesn’t have anything else, no accomodation area or anything and she said the spaceship was only for short journeys and so didn’t need beds or toilets. I wonder where she is getting the funding from…

Thanks for Reading, Dan! :)

PS. Patent Pending!
