Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

Heavy, man...

Ok, a quick and dirty question to all you smart types out there. Is it possible to convert the force of heavy objects into electrical energy? Like, a deelybopper connected to the support pylons of a skyscraper?

Once again, I could look it up myself, but I want to talk about it here. Speaking of which, should I start commenting more on my comments? I worry about seeming more pompous than I regularly seem like.

Discordant thought; cetaceans + perverts = funny.

Probably. But you would need more force to lift the deelybobbers than it would give you falling off the skyscraper.

I comment on my comments alot. It's just easier that way. I HOPE it doesn't come off as pompous...hmmmm....

so you're asking if you had a couple deelyboppers IN a pylon? so that the constant force of gravity would be pushing on them and in turn provide an infinite source of energy? i imagine you could. t'would take people smarter than me to figure it out.
