Re: Programming with Kids

I too am a bachelor, and as such i really don't see why you shouldn't just harness your child to a small "merry-go-round" device that allows your child to run run run while generating energy for your house at the same time. Maybe dangle a candy bar or a toy in front of them. Clean energy! Friends tell me i really should get a girlfriend. :/

"I don't wanna work, don't wanna play, I just wanna bang on the drums all day!" Super idea, attach the "merry-go-round" to a generator and develop DC current to charge the gel batteries in the basement, most of your energy for night-time reading would be supplied with a 0% carbon footprint!!! ki6jux "No trees were harmed in the creation of this node.

A 0% carbon footprint? Are you suggesting to not feed the child? ;-) Anytime a human (or animal) performs labour, he/she/it uses muscles. And just like a combustion engine, muscles need to burn a fuel to get their energy. The fuel comes from reducing sugars, carbohydrates and fats; producing CO₂. And in the digestive system, CH₄ (methane) is produced.	[reply]

Oops! Sorry, must feed the child, but you get 'free' energy because you have to feed them anyway!!! Girlfriends push faster, but can whine and demand jewelery and other high-cost items, thereby raising the cost of the energy. ki6jux "No trees were harmed in the creation of this node.

*Friends tell me i really should get a girlfriend.* Yeah I heard the same thing. Girlfriends can push the merry-go-round faster than kids.....thus generating more power for ya. :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth Remember How Lucky You Are	[reply]
