We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out.
Margaret Thatcher, 1974
It will be years--not in my time--before a woman will become Prime Minister.

I'm just glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling on his face and not Gary Cooper.

Market research reports say America likes crispy cookies, not soft and chewy cookies like you make.
Hewlett Packard excuse to Steve Jobs, who founded Apple Computers instead.
We don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.

end commonly human beings confuse between perpetual action and perpetual gadget.If i make a wheel to exhibit perpetually it truly is plausible if there's no friction to burn up its power.yet when trey to connect it to a equipment and say run a automobile which could bypass with out any enter isn't plausible because you are able to not comments the flexibility wasted by the automobile engine,simply by situation of 2d regulation of thermodynamics.because after doing paintings the flexibility will grow to be degraded(Entropy will advance)even if first regulation isn't violated.So there are 2 kinds of perpetual action gadget referred to as type ! and type 2.type a million will violet the ist regulation of thermodynamics and type.2 will violet the second one regulation of thermodynamics.

On earth I don't' think that it would be possible due to the fact that friction would always be a resiting factor. Eventually it would slow and stop. Perhaps in a vacuum or in space it could be done where Newton's laws could be somewhat eliminated but here on earth with the laws of gravity and air resistance and friction, I don't think it can be done.

We have come close, but no cigar yet. The closest we have to my knowledge is on display in the Chicago museum of Arts and Science. It is basically on oscillator and it still needs a jolt of juice every decade or so.
