we abandoned mini-nuclear reactors in our pro R&D because the climbers' residual glow made sleep difficult to come by on those dark bivies... even with sunglasses...
instead, recent research has focused on using enhanced "Casimir Effect," utilizing the zero point energy in the quantized fields...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect
time to update the predictions...

The "purulent lies" is a matter of opinion. However, it should be "vitriolic libel" - libel is written, slander is oral.

Wow Tami: make Nostradamus proud.
I scored 55: I Never climbed at Smith Rock, but the Valley was English only when I was there; I purchased "Climb" after I learned not to drool (dry cleaning suits is expensive and ties never look the same). I gave myself three gold stars for getting a score less than my age.
The tip-over was chalk. I didn’t even know there was a battle with chalk until Yvon visited the Valley in the early 70s and a group of us went off to climb. I started up the route, dusted my hands, and heard murmuring on the ground below: Yvon was packing up to leave. I asked why. After a short but awkward silence someone told me that it was my use of chalk.
So, was the Lycra Age fun?

some of you might be wondering why we bypassed fusion energy, we didn't, but in the field trials we were using the deuterium-tritium fuel at a very high rate... with the climbers becoming contaminated... it turns out that one of the higher functioning test climbers read that the antidote to tritium contamination is drinking beer (you don't believe me... look here under "Tritium" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_beta_emitters);...
our research budget was being busted by the cost of supplying tritium fuels as well as the contamination clean up and the beer budget...
this idea also worked on the generation of magnetic fields that clamped to granite because of the high magnetite content... the protection didn't work well on sandstones and limestones...
