Squirrels


Free Energy
(or the adventures of Entropy Girl) by KAF-E


It's a good day for:
Staying up late

You know it's two in the morning when.....

.....the clock goes bong bong (and someone has kindly switched off the big outside shiny thing in the sky).

It's a bad day for: Squirrels

Yup the resistance starts here! Join your local anti-squirrel campaign and help save the universe! Or alternatively, if you are for some bizarre reason against global warming, then kill some people instead. It's not totally clear to me why absolutely anything people do (including attempting to save the environment) is detrimental to the environment. Surely we are part of the environment? Surely it's the planets responsibility to kill any people it doesn't particularly feel it can support any more? So I vote we kick back, relax, and go on lots of holidays to places which have recently been devastated by hurricanes - the beaches are quieter there.....

The science bit

Too stressed to get much done today. Got 5 gazillion experiments to do, 8 million collections of data to analyze, 3451 peptides to purify, 11 equations to solve, two talks to write and a project student (in a pear tree?).

I don't think you should be so hard on squirrels. All life is inherently "anti-entropic". In fact locally entropically negative events are pretty much the whole basis of life in the universe. Squirrels still have to go though, to be replaced by marmosets.

Argh! damn it....you are reading ahead in the script! I will be dealing with this very conundrum shortly......

Squirrels are evil, they stole all the chestnuts. it doesn't matter whether they increase or decrease entropy. THEY MUST DIE
