Thanks for the ping, guys. I can't deal with this thrilling thread right now, because my perpetual-motion experiments are reaching a critical stage, and require my constant attention. I'm also nearing the conclusion of my "Why are there still monkeys?" research. I'll keep you all posted. Golly, these are exciting times!

Regarding your experiments in perpetual motion, recall this conversation that takes place in The Music Man:

Professor Harold Hill: Have you ever done any experiements with perpetual motion?

Tommy: Yes. I almost had it a couple of times.
