Barry,

 BM> Probably not.  Just seemed the Life cereal commercial sort of
 BM> fit in.

  My late brother and I had an argument over the Quisp and Quake cererals 
years ago.

 BM> See how easy it is?!

  Easier said than done.

 BM> Seems like the prices for the portable geneators have come down
 BM> the last five years.  I haven't been following as no need to.
 BM> Of course a generator isn't anywhere near the List of
 BM> Necessities.

  In Arkansas, during winter weather, that is bread, milk, beer, and
toilet paper. <G>

 BM> Hmm: nearly discharged battery across the brain contacts?

  I saw this in the Retro Computers group on Facebook. I needed that laugh,
but had to "make a change" today. <G>

The sex life of an electron By Eddie Currents

One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad decided to seek out 
a cute little coil to help him discharge.

He picked up Millie Amp and took her for a ride in his Megacycle. They 
rode across the Wheatstone Bridge and stopped by a magnetic field with 
flowing currents and frolicked in the sine waves.

Micro-Farad, attracted by Milli-Amp's characteristic curves, soon had her 
fully charged and proceeded to excite her resistance to a minimum.

He gently laid her at ground potential, raised her frequency, and lowered 
her reluctance.

With a quick arc, he pulled out his high voltage probe and inserted it in 
her socket, connecting them in parallel. He slowly began short circuiting 
her resistance shut while quickly raising her thermal conductance level 
to mil-spec. Fully excited, Millie Amp mumbled "OHM…OHM…OHM!"

With his tube operating well into class C, and her field vibrating with his 
current flow, a corona formed which instantly caused her shunt to overheat 
just at the point when Micro-Farad rapidly discharged and drained off every 
electron into her grid.

They fluxed all night trying various connectors and sockets until his magnet 
had a soft core and lost all of its field strength.

Afterwards, Millie Amp tried self-induction and damaged her solenoids, and, 
with his battery fully discharged, Micro-Farad was unable to excite his field. 


Not ready to be quiescent, they spent the rest of the evening reversing
polarity 
and blowing each other's fuses.
