Off Topic—Perpetuum Mobile
An Irish company, Steorn, claims to have invented a Perpetuum Mobile—a perpetual motion machine. What a bunch of bull! Or is it a brilliant media campaign?
Ignorant inventors (or is it charlatans?) have been trying to build a Perpetuum Mobile since as early as 1150. Ignorant masses have been enchanted by the possibility ever since. But nothing like the Internet to generate mass psychosis, and huge traffic to the “inventor’s” website. Or so the theory goes.
Long tail, anyone?
