[quote]"Fum" McGraw was a booster for the Colorado State University Rams football team. At times, "Fum" would visit the football team prior to games creating an inspired atmosphere. As part of pre-game festivities, "Fum" was known to sing what is now referred to as "Fum's Song".[/quote

He has a Wikipedia page.

I have mentioned epigenetics a few times in other threads. There's an interesting article about it in National Geographic this month. NPR had a show on it (not as interesting, imo) and the link to the article is at the bottom.

Tesla's ideas, or some version of them, coming to life:

http://news.stanford.edu/news/2012/febr ... 20112.html

A Stanford University research team has designed a high-efficiency charging system that uses magnetic fields to wirelessly transmit large electric currents between metal coils placed several feet apart. The long-term goal of the research is to develop an all-electric highway that wirelessly charges cars and trucks as they cruise down the road.

The new technology has the potential to dramatically increase the driving range of electric vehicles and eventually transform highway travel, according to the researchers. Their results are published in the journal Applied Physics Letters (APL).

"Our vision is that you'll be able to drive onto any highway and charge your car," said Shanhui Fan, an associate professor of electrical engineering. "Large-scale deployment would involve revamping the entire highway system and could even have applications beyond transportation."

Oh yeah -- that whole thing about neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light?

Probably just a loose fiber optic cable.

:lol:
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?
