The cold fusion article at Wikipedia has grown too large, so it must
be split up.
Someone asked me to assist with the sub-article "cold fusion
controversy." I should not waste my time on this sort of thing, but I did.
The skeptics will soon trash this and erase it, but I had a lot of
fun writing it. Have a look before it is gone:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_fusion_controversy
I have a copy on my desk, preserved for posterity.
I did not set out to make this humorous, although I can never resist.
I doubt the skeptics will see it as funny. But I trust the readers
here will see the humor in parts such as my deadpan rebuttal of the
claim that cold fusion researchers are insane; my description of
Hoffman's masterpiece; and the juicy quote from Happer and its source (Taubes).
