> What other freakish musings can we come up with?

I'm upset with the fact that, as far as I know, no one is working on Hoverboards (as seen in the second two Back to the Future movies). I mean, why not? I think Hoverboards would be really popular, at least for a while, until the novelty wore off. Then they'd be considered lame, but it'd be fun while it lasted. I think those scientists should stop playing Quake II all day (yeah, I know that's all they do) and get to work on Hoverboards!
