I'm wathing an interview with the discoverers right now on MacNeil-Lehrer.
You know, it just sounds too good to be true.  Maybe these guys are pulling
an elaborate April Fools' joke.  Either that, or it's going to be
bigger than the high-temperature superconductors.  Guaranteed Nobel prizes.
	But anyway, these guys say they've had bottles producing heat
continuously for hundreds of hours in experiments over the last year, and
that their experiments could essentially be duplicated using the resources
of a high school chemistry classroom.
	It's just too good to be true.  Anyone see "Back to the Future?"
remember the "Mr. Fusion" blender-sized device?  That's basically what
these guys have developed.  You put heavy water in, you get gobs of energy
out.
	Just think, governments have spent $billions upon billions on
nuclear fusion research using Tokomaks and high-powered lasers, and here
these chemists do it at room temperature in their kitchen.
	Anyway, I'm anxiously waiting to see whether this can be duplicated.
