Hey no problem I can FEDEX some over to you for tonight........
D17 ---------- originally tungsten, has been transformed into something that turns out to be plutonium 186—an isotope that cannot occur naturally in our universe. As this is investigated, Hallam makes the crucial suggestion that the matter has been swapped by beings in a parallel universe. This turns out to be correct and leads to the development of a cheap, clean, and apparently endless source of energy: the "Electron Pump", which trades matter between our universe (where plutonium 186 decays into tungsten 186) and a parallel one governed by slightly different physical laws (where tungsten 186 turns into plutonium 186), yielding a nuclear reaction in the process. The development process inextricably ties Hallam to the Pump in the minds of the people, vaulting him into an incredibly high position in public opinion and winning him power, position, and a Nobel Prize to boot.

I own three Biographies On Nikola Tesla..... he had it all worked out years before everyone else.

Heck .... He got his created an coupling system for railroad cars..... Edison... just worked hard enough.......

but Edison was a relatively stubborn, stubborn man... which is a good thing....( to quote an ALL TIME CLASSIC leitmotif--- From the Dan AykRoyd 1985 flick Dr. Detroit....

he is living a double life.... in his real life he is a scholarly professor and lives at Parents house.... the dean of the University.... Schidlow.....( fact check the spelling of the name.. )

and since Smooth Walker has to Blow out of Chicago because "MOM"... the head of the Detroit Mafia is coming down to take over Walker's high class call girl escort service.......... smooth Walker is at an Indian Restaurant eating with his ladies and decides to leave Dan Aykroyd holding the bag... and the ladies now work for him

so the...official Play of the day



is the QOUTE of the DAY --- The one of numerous Leitmotifs in the movie " Napoleon fought 3 wars on 3 hours of sleep..... Edison took cat naps in his lab.....eI can do this......

Proudly brought to you by our sponsor....... the WORLD FAMOUS GFA: " That ThunderChicken..... it's FingerLickin"
