Confused

I'm glad this old thread is still going and the lamentable History Channel fraud isn't.

Got the book "Secrets of Anti-Gravity Propulsion". Oh. The title was so promising. I skimmed it for the fun bits and it was jargon dense to an uncomfortable degree. If you're an MIT grad and want a bedside read, grab it. It's the kind of book Sheldon and Leonard would giggle over. I doubt I'll...

I'll let you know. I ordered it. Looks like a fun read.

Not a clue about the hat but would love to see the 'Fat Man' wiring diagram. Likely to have many warnings about mistakes?

Not familiar with anyone peddling 'crushed' crushers. Most of us bash them in ourselves. A good soak in cold water, some vigorous kneading and a good drying out and 'voila!'.
