Speaking on the subject of temperature...Your name is on their mailing list...for early spring... These guys are friends and classmates of Sir Dave. Subject: new room-temperature-fusion discovery Drs. Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, whose claims to have demonstrated room-temperature fusion were roundly criticized at a meeting of the American Physical Society last night, announced a new breakthrough in room-temperature fusion technology in a press conference at the University of Utah today. Nicknamed the `room-temperature fusion bomb', their new process is a logical outgrowth of one of their earlier experiments in which an electrode melted, destroying part of their experimental apparatus. 'We concluded that clever design of the palladium electrode can drastically affect the release of energy. We've developed (and are in the process of patenting) our new `chunky electrode' technology, which allows us to tailor energy production to the desired application. The room-temperature fusion bomb employs an `extremely chunky' electrode.' Pons and Fleischmann say that they have been sensitive to the criticism recently leveled at their experimental methods; however, they remain convinced that room-temperature fusion is occurring in their experiments. They plan to Federal Express one room-temperature fusion bomb experiment to each member of the American Physical Society. ``Operating instructions for the apparatus have not yet been photocopied. They will be sent via first-class mail when they're ready in a week or so,' said Pons.

Ho!Ho!Ho! You Know You're Gonner Annoy Your EXSO-holics-mates This Christmas when: 1.Claim you were a Christmas tree in your former life. If s/he tries to bring one into the room, scream bloody murder and thrash on the floor. 2.Go to the mall with your roommate and sit on Santa's lap. Refuse to get off. 3.Wear a Santa suit all the time. Deny you're wearing it. 4.Sit in a corner in the fetal position rocking back and forth chanting, "Santa Claus is coming to town, Santa Claus is coming to town..." 5.Hang mistle-toe in the doorway. When your roommate enters or leaves the room, plant a wet one on his/her lips. 6.Hang a stocking with your roommates name on it. Collect coal and sharp objects in it. If s/he asks, say "you've been very naughty this year." 7.Paint your nose red and wear antlers. Constantly complain about how you never get to join in on the reindeer games. 8.Make conversation out of Christmas Carols. (I.E. "You know, I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistle-toe last night.") 9.Wrap yourself in Christmas lights and roll around in the snow. 10.Sing: "All I want for Christmas is my roommate's two front teeth..." 11.Give your roommate the gifts from the twelve days of Christmas song. 12.Build a snowperson with your roommate and place a hat on its head.

Santa's buying you a house on 34th Street. 17.Steal a life size nativity scene and display it in your room. When your roommate asks, tell him/her "I had to let them stay here, there's no room at the inn." 18.Make anatomically correct gingerbread people and eat the best parts first. 19.Put on a fake white beard and insist that all your roommate's friends "give it a yank." 20.Ring jingle bells maniacally saying "every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings."
