James,

You may be on to something here, and even more so because of a possible error made in the interpretation of a calorie:

Definitions of a calorie fall into two classes:

The small calorie or gram calorie (symbol: cal) approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1gram of water by 1 degree celsius. This is about 4.2 joules. (not yours)The large calorie, kilogram calorie, dietary calorie or food calorie (symbol: Cal or Kcal) approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 °C. This is exactly 1,000 small calories or about 4.2 kilojoules. (yours)

I could use a team of 50 “spinners” to generate some real kW power. They could be directly hooked to my grid, they would lose weight, and I would lose my monthly energy bill. The FDA understands this confusing calorie definition, but like to keep the folks ignorant so they will not understand the truth of their gluttony.

Much mahalo,

Jon

What about those of us with no debt? What do we get in the deal? Other than screwed out of the money we are owed?

But, but, but…people don’t want to gouge out their eyes.

Consider confronting the sage wisdom gathered at this upcoming fete with something truly important outside their comfort zone. Perhaps the burning questions of New Zealand’s commercial real estate markets? “Homosexual, wine-swilling, chain-smoking mice are apparently to blame for a second-hand smoke problem in Sir Robert Jones’ Wellington offices” says the New Zealand Herald.

Bet they haven’t even heard of this looming threat to domestic tranquility. You’ll cut ’em off at the knees.

Only Guinness in bottles marked XXX is nutritious. The draught is a much different product.
