    I wanna know when they finally got around to perfecting "perpetual motion"...

    I come from a long line of tinkerers/inventors who've been chasing that elusive goal for decades...

    Perhaps you were referring to inertia?

    I'd also like to see where you got this "fact"...please post a link if possible.

    Also , You'll find that if you refrain from posting as a self proclaimed "absolute authority on all topics", & learn to leave yourself a bit of wiggle room, by throwing in a "possibly", "theoretically", "sometimes" or even "it's possible", you'll find you get called out a lot less often...

    Jack, I've never seen a reason to apologize for calling "made up BS" for what it is...ESPECIALLY when it's been presented as fact.
