Wattage: Perpetual Motion Machines

“Well, son, I think you’re finally old enough to see my perpetual motion machine.” “Whoa! How does it work?” “It finds the dumbest investors in the world and extracts their money.” This comic was created by our government for the mass consumption of brain-washed human-sheep, and only they would find it funny. Actually, it was found at www.toothpastefordinner.com…

I bet that if someone offered to pay your electric bill for you, you’d let them. Well, today, I’m offering just that. All you have to do is invest a little money in some materials, and submit $5 to my up-and-coming Paypal button.

Here’s the materials you’ll need: Some magnets, some gravity, H. Opes and Dr. Eam’s Anti-Heat and Friction Oil, some bond money if you get caught violating the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and eventually you will need some industrial-strength BS.

The government doesn’t want you to know this, but I’m going to risk telling you anyway. The world ought to know that, pssst, come closer…you can make energy out of nothing! It’s true. I know that oil giants don’t want you to find out, and they just have this big charade of drilling billions of gallons of oil from the earth to cover their hineys, but you really can create your own energy, for free. They know if anyone independant found out about it, they’d lose all the money they are making selling you electricity and gasoline. Who cares that they could patent it and make pretty much 100% profit for 14 years (the length of time a patent isn’t public domain), causing the people in charge of the company to be boundlessly rich for life? Who cares if people have been trying to make perpetual motion machines for 400 years without creating a scientifically sound machine? It is all a government conspiracy. Honest. They have FBI agents re-writing those Wikipedia references to perpetual motion machines daily so you will think they don’t exist. Don’t look over your shoulder now, but the Illuminati are breathing down our necks.

As such, I will continue this blog as a satirical reference to the stupidity of people who create these machines, for the benefit of any government agents that happen to be reading. However, don’t let the true message fall through the cracks…go out and make one of these things if you want to survive the post-apoctalyptic world! And remember, of course, that of the three ways an atomic bomb can hurt you, radiation is the least harmful.

So how do you create such a wonderful device? It is really quite simple. Any combination of moving parts utilizing gravity, magnets, moving water, or any combination there-of would be completely acceptable. If you can create a machine that keeps moving for several minutes at a time, whilst not powering any device whatsoever, without a clear energy source, you are well on your way to creating a perpetual motion machine. Type “Perpetual motion machine” into the www.youtube.com search if you are having trouble coming up with ideas. It’s not as hard as everybody makes it out to be, you just have to be creative, and tweak a design that is already there to make it ‘more efficient’. The true reason a perpetual motion machine would be beneficial is if it creates excess energy for real work, but that is really, really hard to do. It is much better to just create a machine that keeps going forever without accomplishing anything. Then, and only then, can we improve on that design, to create a machine that won’t use any energy and will even provide some excess mechanical work.

While your aquiring the funds to create this machine so you can get free electricity, it is a good idea to liberally apply that industrial-strength BS, you know, for your investors’ sakes.

Hoofin’ It: Let Your Walking Do The Saving

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
You could drive some vans, or you could save some money and walk in your Vans.

You could drive some vans, or you could save some money and walk in your Vans.

Cars are overrated. They pollute, you get stuck in traffic, they get scratched, gas is expensive, your tires blow out, your insurance sucks, everybody else seems to have a better car than you, the guy next to you at the traffic light always seems to be playing Britney Spears at full blast. Not that there isn’t fun in watching him lip sync, there definitely is, but you still get the feeling that life would be better if he’d turn it down.

Bikes are better, but they still have problems. If you don’t have an iPod, you might have to carry around a full-size home stereo system. They still have tires that can blow out, you can fall off, there’s the stigma that comes with wearing bicycle shorts. Not that you don’t already wear bicycle shorts, you definitely do, but you still get the feeling that life would be better if nobody saw you in them.

I could keep going, but I think you get my drift. Some of the best equipment to travel in is the stuff that you have had since birth. Walking is a great way to get some exercise, see the sights, and if you decide to change out of those bicycle shorts, no one will judge you if you’re walking. Sure, you might have to go through pairs of shoes like water because of the increased usage, but if you go to Payless and don’t mind the blisters that their shoes provide, it would equal out to about as much as you’d pay for oil changes.

Remember when Forrest Gump decided that one day to go running, and he ran from coast to coast a couple of times? If a slightly mentally handicapped movie character can get up the courage to give up other forms of transportation, you can too! If your job is to far to walk to in a reasonable amount of time, just quit and get a new job closer to where you live. Or, better yet, sell your house and get a new house closer to your work. The housing market is so bad, you won’t get your money’s worth for your house, but that new house won’t be as expensive, either. It’s even stevens!

The real benefit, though, is money. Do you know the real cost of keeping your car? With the average car payment of around $300 a month, that’s $3,600 a year. Then, if you get three oil changes a year, that’s another $150. Then there’s gas. At 15,000 miles a year, at 30 mpg, and if gas is $2.00 a gallon, your out another $1,000. Insurance, depending on your age and previous driving history, will lighten your wallet by roughly $1000 a year. The factory’s scheduled maintenance, that will set you back $350 or so. Oh, and you have to go through that car wash every once in a while, so we’ll add another $50. You know, as I mentioned in a previous blog, you could save an awful lot by washing the car yourself. So, at a grand total of $6,150, is it really worth it?

I mean, that is a lot of Air Jordans.
