Well, Jones, it's certainly a worthy challenge. ;-) Actually the best off-the-wall interpretation I've come across occurred very early in the Rossi-Focardi debut. Check out commentary pertaining to Popular Science's "dubious" article on Rossi & Focardi: http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2011-01/italian-scientists-claim-dubious-cold-fusion-breakthrough One skeptic, Fingolfinon, had the following to say concerning what certain visual aspects of the accompanying photograph suggested to him: "In the photo at the top, the guy in red looks like he's smoking a bong. When making claims about cold fusion, it's important to not have photos that make you look like you're smoking a bong." * * * Ok... ok... I know. We're not talking specifically about the "Riser". He's close however. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
