“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

What gives? :-)
They're no closer today...

That and bold (but elastic) claims...
But if all else fails, put a table top Fusor on your mantlepiece and wax nostalgic!
I saw that. I'm not sure that it's worth the vacuum pump noise though... :(
...I'll stick to my lava lamp. :)
I find these things fascinating: to be able to create even only a very little bit of fusion in such a small and simple device!
Defo beats a lava lamp...
