"These people were way too smart to argue with," Dr. Powers said. "The only thing to do was to keep an eye on them."
And while we're on politics gmtPlus9 uncovers A catalog of political cartoons by Dr. Seuss.

Scientists have discovered a method to make a cool tungsten light, up to 60% efficient, a bit of an improvement over the 5% they now enjoy. A former co-worker once determined that people with electric heat ought to just leave their lights on during the winter, since most of the energy is lost in heat which would have to be generated by the electric baseboards anyways. If you are interested in an extensive discussion of the merits of light bulb and LED efficiencies be sure to visit Don Klipstein. Don provides a wealth of LED information.
