I know you can have gaseous ions but it requires a lot of energy to get them to that state and I'm not sure it's something that can be produced as a side effect from a battery. Gaseous anions are much easier to produce than cations though so maybe it has a ring of truth to it. I'm not sure. I should probably RTFA.

And while I remember to gloat, it was the Russian Biochemist. Hah!

Ok chemistry folks, perhaps you can explain something to me. I may have missed something in my chemistry training. As I recall from my study of ions, they exist in specific circumstances (e.g. in solution, plasma, etc.) Do ions exist in air? Can negative ions be created and sent into the air, without any cations produced? I feel like I missed that part of chemistry class. It all seems so bullshitty.

I ask because negative ion production in atmosphere is brought up when describing how BatMax (a rechargeable battery lifetime booster) works. The product on its own has some real scientific feel, but a lot of scientific bullshit. ("Electrons are transferred through the electrolyte inside the battery by the positive ions, which take them from the anode to the cathode (or positive pole).") Citing a product that I already feel is tenuous doesn't make me feel any better about it. So, any explanation?

GUESS WHO'S BACK MUTHA FUCKS?

that's stinky about the Unicorns.
now for some news about the friends of the Unicorns, HOT HOT HEAT:

Check out a short video clip of the new single, "Goodnight, Goodnight"

(it's a little more straight ahead than i would like, and the chorus is awkward. i think they may be suffering from third release blues, especially with Dante leaving.

the band whom HHH will be touring with, Louis XIV

uh, yeah... that's how it goes... holy shit Taylor... if I didn't have the faintest clue who you were, I'd be militantly angry at you.

but I think the fact that I know you a little bit, and Michael Franti is singing, makes it okay for you to be a complete asshole. ... but only under those exact conditions.

I bet Fox would give my show airtime. If not Fox I can always take it to Spike! TV... What could possibly be manlier than my TV show? Maybe another sweet Jesse James show where he makes fuckin rad bikes and then rides them through mexico shooting guns in the desert... but that's about it I think.

Alright, I like my track-record so far. That makes (count 'em!) THREE get-rich-quick schemes! I shoulda never wasted my time on this University bullshit. You don't need a degree to get rich quick. That's more like get rich slow. Ten years of school pissing money out of your ass going through Med, and then another ten years paying off those debts... and THEN getting rich. Fuck that shit.

Tonight I came up with the best premise for a reality TV show ever:

Bull's Eye For The Gay Guy
(Big GAYm Hunting)

It's all about shootin fags in the forest.

eh, eh?

The catch phrase is everytime a hunter scores a fag in the head with his 12-gauge he yells "bullseye!!!". It would be like on The Apprentice when he says "you're fired". Everybody waits to hear him say it. In my show you'd be waiting to hear "bullseye!!!" instead. And at the end of the show when they tally up how many homos bit it, they play that Q.E.F.T.S.G. theme song that goes "All thing's just keep gettin better!"

So there have been rumours that the Unicorns broke up. Nobody really knows for sure...

Except for this one guy here in this fine city of Edmonton who e-mailed them and found out that they did indeed break up. Apparently Alden is starting a new band, and Nick may or may not be joining the (highly over-rated IMO) Arcade Fire.

You heard it here first ladies and gents...

cawcawcaw i'm a birdie....my ear fucking hurts. also if you are going to halo i am excited for you, i will also be there and maybe we can dance together....my ear fucking hurts soooo bad. maybe if i think about how much fun i am going to have 2morrow nite i will feel better
