And you won't be quite so primatey when you find out Schrodinger's Cat has deposited some quantum foam in yer dress shoes. I think you missed out a final “Dr. Zalus!” couplet.

I'll remember that one (and isn't tachyon such a great word). As for you Nabs. Look mate, we pan troglodytes will continue to monkey around with the space-time continuum until once more the lands ring with the chorus of: "Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius! Oh, Dr. Zaius." I mean what have you cats done with your time? You may have humankind waiting on you hand a foot. But they are simply mere servants. We'll have them as our slaves! Thanks Sachmo. I’ll remember that one (and isn’t tachyon such a great word).

Speaking of which, what about all the whacky web-sites offering tachyonised products? I e-mailed one once asking how they prepared their goods, and only received verbiage back...

Irant, you got a license or some formal qualifications you can show? Sure it worked this time, but you only have to be wrong once and it's black hole city.

Someone's been reading "The Forever War"...again? “standing wave into the tachyon field fixed the problem.”

Most likely a trans-continuim shift with the dilithium crystals. They do it all the time. Thanks for the link. Will looksee. The the miracle?

Seriously! I'm thinking of rededicating the odd LP happenings to Cardinal Newman - he really needs a miracle to become a saint and I'd like to see him raised to the altars.
