Hearing These Are Days -- 10,000 Maniacs
Fun With Perpetual Motion
Here's some fun science to ease you into your weekend: The Museum of Unworkable Devices. It features lots of attempts through the centuries to create perpetual motion machines -- you know, the ones that once you start them up never stop running. They don't work, of course (curse you, entropy!), but on the other hand it's sort of sweet to see how people keep trying despite the admonitions of physicists.
Of course, any physicist who doesn't believe in a perpetual motion machine simply hasn't met a four-year-old kid. Let a physicist observe a typical day care and six hours later he'll come out with a solution to all our energy needs. He'll also be very, very tired.
