The Hobbit Hole

In a hole there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

They’ll be screaming about the pollution from dihydrogen monoxide

Some professors at MIT have come up with a reputedly easy way to convert solar energy into a cheap power source, inspired in large part by the way plants obtain food.

I’m not a tree hugger, but I do like to do what I can for the environment, and I get really excited by the opportunity for cheap, clean energy. (It’s probably one reason that The Saint is one of my guilty pleasures, but that probably has more to do with Elizabeth Shue being the hottest physicist ever :) ).
