Subj: A good climate for physics

We found a comment on http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/01/29/diverging-views/ that led us to http://knowledgedrift.wordpress.com/.

I sure would like some of those grants. I fear though that the phsyicist isn’t much of a physicist. I rambled through some of the essays there and found them interesting. Some of them you read and say, hey wait a minute, and some you read and say, hmmm, maybe he has a good point there.

How do you find these things, anyway?

Send us an- E-mail by replying to this email and We will do our best to help you out in your financial situation.

Dear sirs,

It was quite gratifying to hear from you. As you evidently surmised, I am in need of large sums of money on generous terms with an extended period of repayment. Unfortunately my current circumstances are quite pressing so if you could see your way clear to sending me a few thousand dollars in small unmarked bills I would appreciate it. I understand that there may be some upfront fees associated with the loan. As it happens my current assets, though quite extensive, are inaccessible, so I would take it kindly if you would include any fees in the body of the loan.

Subj: Web Site Hits

Mr Harter,

has it occurred to you that the number of hits in 2009 is down from 2008 because people interested in your website are dying off?

I prefer to think that the supply of truly intelligent readers is being depleted.
