Oh, sorry to have misunderstood J6P.

You might well be right, along with the hordes of other Aztecs, that gold will soar in value. There must be millions now, clutching their golden talisman, waiting for the second coming.

I'm always happy to be not in a crowd. If I don't want to be the same as everyone else, I had better be doing something different. Watching the stopped traffic jams going one way, I'm always pleased to be driving quickly in the other direction.

Not being in a crowd means one needs to be more alert to predators, which pick off the stragglers or otherwise separated from the mob. But if one is quick on one's feet, it's not only a successful strategy, it's a lot of fun.

Avoiding insurance isn't for everyone. Some people are big winners from insurance. Especially if they can get the Twin Tower destruction to be deemed as two events, instead of one. People paying premiums pay for those multi$billion games. As well as the more prosaic $100 ripoffs which are worse in the long run.

The only heavy metal I own is mercury, which I keep in my teeth. A permanent burden and proof and cause of my demented state. How come smart humans have mercury in their teeth and dumb animals seem to have excellent teeth as nature designed them to be? Our vaunted intelligence is pretty thin on the ground.

If I can just figure out a way to take one proton out of the mercury, I'll have gold. That should be easy. I'm amazed nobody has done it yet. Just make the polarity of the proton reversed and it'll just pop out by itself, bubbling out of the alchemy pot as hydrogen, which could be used to fuel the fuel cell on the car.

Hmm, I did a Googling and came up with cargo.ship-of-fools.com Obviously others are onto the idea, but in a mystical way, not my sensible proton polarity reversal removal system. PPRRS [TM].

I'm off to the beach to study wave functions - maybe I'll get some inspiration.
