Wow - we must be clones!

paul! my buddy! you're PERFECT for this tribe!! yay for liars!!!

i developed cold fusion in a small russion village in the late 1970s, but the jar i kept it in got knocked off the shelf by my prepetual motion machine and was never heard from again.

welcome welcome!!

I developed a food additive that causes people to lose weight no matter what food it is sprinkled on. It also enhances the natural flavor of the food making it taste better and it fights cancer. Its tied up with the FDA right now, because of the cancer part and adding it to food like a condiment they aren't sure if it is a food or a drug. They don't know what to do with it.

My design for low cost unlimited free hot water through pipes drilled deep into the Earth's surface so cold water is heated by the Earth's magma, seems to have got held up by "the system". Having free heating and water to everyones house, and even free steam to run powerful home electricity generators, which I imagine doesn't go down very well with the utilities companies, but there would still be maintenance and replacement costs they could cash in on. I've also thought that the free electricity would be able to charge electric cars, and if you were going on a long journey there would be battery exchange stations, where you've swap your batteries with charged ones for a small fee (to cover labor, maintenance, and occasional replacement costs), and these batteries are constantly charging to be ready for the next person.

Then there's teflon coated cotton. Telfon is known on non-stick cookware, but on fabric it makes clothes resistant to dirt and water. OK, it can get dusty, but just dip it in water (or go out in the rain) and the dust is taken up by the water, then shake the water off (although most of it falls off - from the non-stick properties), and it's clean! I think the detergent manufacturers and the clothing companies are holding me up there. The problem is that it makes the material more resistant to wearing out too, so it's feared people will buy less clothes over time. Although maybe it's because there is a problem that unless these clothes are secured well, due to it's non-stick surface, the clothes are so slippery they have a tendancy to fall off people! Quite funny really. But I won't tell you about what happened when I made bed sheets from this material!
