Linkage!

I’m on a roll now.

Check this out:

Steorn website
Free energy! Energy that is free! Out of thin air! And how we love free stuff!
http://www.steorn.net/
I’m not going to repeat the basic claims being made, beyond that they claim to have invented a free energy generator. Energy from, basically, nothing. Read this on IrishEyes on what it’s about. It’s great, we’ll have energy without the problems of carbon in the atmosphere, pollution, nuclear waste, environmental damage on a large scale… It’s what we’ve all been waiting for. An answer to the energy crisis.

Bollocks. No free lunch. You know it, I know it. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. You can’t make energy out of nothing, or suddenly come up with the answer to one of the biggest problems facing mankind today and it’s as easy as putting some magnets together. Someone suddenly comes out with an easy way to generate power out of nothing? Sure. Have a look at Cesky Sen to see where I think this one’s going to end up; and if that’s the case then I think fair play to them, we’ll all get laugh out of it. If they’ve done this and it’s bollocks, and they still honestly believe it, then they’re fools and they’ll get burnt, and we’ll still get a laugh out of it. It’s doing the rounds right now at any rate, gets loads of publicity for them and they might even beat ‘Snakes On A Plane‘ for the Summer number one hit.

Their site is nicely designed, by the way. I like it.

    Hmmmm….

    “14116 people have registered to receive the results… ”

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is just an eloborate SPAM scam?

    I bet the guys at ‘freeipods.com’ are thinking… “Why the f#@k didn’t WE think of that!”

    Ha ha, yes indeed. I think the overall consensus is that it is bollocks. It won’t be a first either. Remember nuclear fusion in a jam jar? It’ll come back to them, and then they’ll find out what free energy is.

    That said, I did link to their site, so I’m sort of in on it too.

    The best part of their site is the Press Area. Says it all really. The picture of Sean pictured with a testing rig, and the other three walking on the strand with the ESB station in the background are particularly gut-renching.
    They even dress smart casual because they’re like so ‘zeitgeist’. What a pack of knobs.

    “NO NO NO NO NO NO THERE’S NO LIMIT NO NO NO NO NO.”

    2- UNLIMITED.

    No.

    I looked up the origins of the word “STEORN” and quite frankly I was slowly becoming erect .
    Steorn or commonly called SSSSSSSSSSTEORNNNNNNNNNNNN If you speak in a stephen hawkings type way.
    Thought to originate in the nordic mythology from the god steorno. Steorno was a god with the genetailia of an action man and a hair cut like a french mans biscuit he also suffered very badly from a disease called brothel fingers which meant he wasnt allowed near childrens playgrounds.
    He despite his welsh pronounciation was the god of “monk arse lust” and was often prayed to just before a Viking raiding party set off for a round tower in Co.wicklow.

    So these guys have really done their research and who knows maybe they really are on to something. It has to be noted that the Irish Government has planed to grow giant potatoes and using two copper rods and a beaker full of water to solve the looming energy crisis, also planned is to harness the power of the little people ( who will be vastly under paid and housed in Mosney) and all future voting will be done by waving small sheleleghs. The future’s bright the future’s fake tan orange.

    There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti- Fairy indiginous peoples remark. I want to apologise specifically to everyone in the Fairy community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge.
    And the harmful words written by me on this website whilst under the influence of wood glue.

    “I am a public person, and when I say something, either articulated and thought out, or blurted out in a moment of Cleaning product induced insanity,( in my case toilet duck) my words carry weight in the public arena. As a result, I must assume personal responsibility for my words and apologise directly to those wee folk who have been hurt and offended by those words.

    “The tenets of what I profess to believe necessitate that I exercise charity and tolerance as a way of life. Every human being is God’s child,unless they live in the fairy world where they have many Gods, and if I wish to honour my God and the gods in fairy-land I have to honour the little people . But please know from my heart that I am not an anti-farian. I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith.

    “I’m not just asking for forgiveness. I would like to take it one step further, and meet with leaders in the Fairy community, with whom I can have a one-on-one discussion to discern the appropriate path for healing”

    G-man

    Seriously G-man, you need to get down to the Front Lounge and sort it out with them. You should make a movie out of it, in the native language of their people. Clear up the misconceptions that history has wrought upon those small, beautiful, mischievous people of compact stature!

    Meanwhile, I’m going see what New Order think I should do about it.
