Popsicle Diet

I've discovered that from time to time as I bustle to and from opposite ends of the lab, I don't always have time to fit in three square meals a day. As of yesterday I've begun experimenting in frozen dietary suppliments with hopes of establishing a full popsicle diet for consumption during these hectic work weeks. The idea seems sound in the preliminary stages. 

With luck, I will be able to construct an efficient extraction and deep freeze process that will maximize nutrition. Unfortunately the juicing and blending process is at a temporary standstill as my old blender couldn't handle ice. BUT, as soon as I de-rust that old wood chipper, I should be back in business.

FALCON OUT!

Treadmills

I've devised a new elevator system that runs on the basis of a treadmill. Imagine a narrow elevator shaft with treadbelts oscillating on opposite walls. By carefully calibrating the speed and pressure ratios of the belts, I've managed to achieve lift by mechically sliding a platform into the shaft, perpendicular to the belts. Granted the first few trails were catostrophic and nearly leathal, but since the testing is finally complete, it feels much more stable overall. 

Currently the rig only loads a two floor span. With luck and tweaking in the future, I'm certain I could advance this distance to the full five levels of the laboratory. However for today, my work is done.

The Falconmobile

It has come to my attention that sometimes the komodo dragons get lazy and are not an efficient means of transport. Therefore I've been devising a new mode of transport dubbed... the FALCONMOBILE.

Currently I'm sick of gas prices. It takes way too much out of my research fund to fill up an American automobile. Sadly, this endeavor hinges upon my contact, Bruno smuggling a suitcase nuke from the ex-Soviet empire into the U.S. I'm planning on using a small nuclear reactor to generate power in the turbine engine. I think I'll just have him FedEx it.

I will not be stopped by the petty struggle in the Middle East. Plans will be posted upon development.

Solidly,

This Day in History

If there's one thing I hate, it's pompous dead guys. There is so much to be said about how you can't be respected until after you die. THEN, you have to wait about 200 years before you can be fully appreciated for your contributions to the world. Personally, I don't mind being uncredited, undiscovered, and unseen. The Falcon will still soar upwards on the currents of tomorrow. 

However for your edification here are some notable events that occurred on this day in history. Hopefully you'll appreciate their impact.

1985 - US performs nuclear test at Nevada Test Site

1978 - Velcro was 1st put on the market

April Second, fools may have first dibs on the month, but innovators are a close second.
