Sep 20 2007UK To Build Wave Powered Generator
The UK has approved the construction of the Wave Hub, which will be the first full-scale wave powered generator in the world. It looks like an underwater level from Mario Bros., but it actually generates electricity. Located off the coast of Cornwall, it may one day generate enough energy for 7,500 households and save 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide in 25 years. Which is impressive, but if they installed this thing in my waterbed I could power at least 10,000 homes. Because, you know, I swim in bed. Okay fine, I masturbate a lot. Practically nonstop.

You can keep your visually unappealing wind farms, this is the future my friends. And i'm not being sarcastic, really I'm not at all. Not even then.

"so here's some old news that you guys probably found on the sites that I look at to get new material. and it's uh, well/you know/um something I can nonsensically connect to my fat, ugly girlfriend/wife...but you know, maybe I'll just talk about my dingaling/ding dong and make the same joke over and over. you'll laugh."
