Another compulsive bit of insanity...

One of the other items from yesterday that IC got hooked on was something called "Brown's Gas" or "Brown Gas". It's kindof a poor man's way to make hydrogen gas basically, by hooking up leads from your car battery to a tank of water which then produces HHO out of H2O. IC spent another couple of hours researching this, then stormed back to the shop to tell me all about it.

IC: "MAN! Do you know about Brown gas?"

Me: "Yup."

IC: "It's SO awesome! They've got a kit that anybody can put on thier car and get like, 200 miles per gallon!"

Me: "No. They don't."

IC: "Yeah, I just read about it. They did it to police cars and the mayors car and everything in some city somewhere and they're all getting 200 miles per gallon!"

Me: "No. If someone had actually come up with that kind of kit, it would be all over the news by now and everybody would be buying one."

IC: "Not really. Because if people don't believe in it, they won't buy it. That's what they're told, that it doesn't work, so they don't buy it. It's the big oil companies and the tv stations that do it. That's what they said."

Me: "You give money to televangelists to get healed. Don't you."

IC: *looks thoughtful for a split second* "Well, no. But I think I can get one of those kits and I'll prove it!"

Me: "You do that."
