Re: Spoof articles about cold fusion
Truth be told.Ferrar (is his last name) sent it to me somewhat hacked up. I enjoyed his delightful creativity so much that I edited his draft it into standard AP-style news copy and sent it back to him. Gotta hand it to this guy..he really has a great sense of humor and also has his ear to the ground. s At 11:53 AM 3/13/2006, you wrote: The writer, Ferrer, looks vaguely similar to a local politician: http://www.thespoof.com/profile.cfm?uID=3258 Hmm ... and if memory serves, and not being a name dropper, didn't SK post something rather similar to this with an Olympics twist ? ... perhaps he just forgot the attribution...g or is being set-up by Putterman's grad student brigade.

Re: Spoof articles about cold fusion - linked to real article in Wired
Here is a pleasant surprise. The spoof article hyperlink for Ed Storms links to a real, highly positive story in Wired, from September 2005. I was not aware of this. See: http://wiredblogs.tripod.com/gadgets/index.blog?entry_id=1217543 Whoever this mystery author Ferrer is, he knows a thing or two about cold fusion. I suspect he is reading this message! He is reportedly in the UK. (Based on the humor, or humour, I think it is he but you never know, it could be Soo Seddon.) - Jed
