New furnace burns rocks
I heard they just developed a new furnace that burns rocks. Just fill
it with rocks, chunks of concrete, gravel, or sand and it will burn them and heat the average home on about a ton of rocks for an entire winter. That sounds like a cheap fuel. Does anyone know how they would get the rocks to burn? Thats the part I cant figure out. |

New furnace burns rocks
Typically found in new construction churches. They don't burn, they
cleft. Actually, they sing about it "Rock of ages.... cleft for me....." They used to have these back in the fifties. "Rock, rock, rock, around the clock tonight..." -- Christopher A.

Theoretically you could burn rocks if you could get the temperature high enough as for example an electrical arc. |

A few seconds on Google yields a fairly recent example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_brothers_riot "The Brooks Brothers riot is the term coined to describe the demonstration at a meeting of election canvassers in Miami-Dade County, Florida on November 19, 2000, during a recount of votes made during the 2000 United States presidential election. The name refers to a traditional brand of suits associated with conservative business dress... " Heh! I saw that "riot" (or part of it) on TV. The (Democratic) canvassers were about to certify the results and barred observers/monitors/watchers from the room. The TV cameras shifted to the hallway were thirty or so people with short hair, white shirts, and neckties set up a ruckus. They held up their cell-phones and Mont Blanc pens in a show of unified pique. Several shots of the Democratic party factotums showed absolute PANIC on their faces over the chanting going on out in the hall. There was hand-wringing and chin-quivering. Some Negro officials turned a paler shade from fear! The TV cameras politely declined to show those who wet their pants. I thought I heard someone yell "Run for your lives!" Fearing for their safety and with concern over the future of the planet, the election officials quickly reversed their decision and allowed observers. The folks in the hall quietly filed in, took their seats, and the official canvass got under way. I think maybe one pot plant was broken in the hall. |

Burning other material, or using electricity to create an arc. Costly eh?

It's the liberals who lose control over sports results or trial outcomes. You ever heard of a conservative "riot"? Has a conservative mob ever thrown Molotov cocktails at police or looted stores? Especially over such trivial matters as a hurricane? Consider the reaction to the anti-immigration law in Arizona. The law doesn't even take effect until the end of the month but already the liberal folks are getting so excited they're stabbing each other! And Timothy McVeigh was such a liberal! |
