I've known you for over 10 years and you never used to be crazy, but then about 6 months ago something changed and you became nuttier than a fruitcake, you get completely hysterical and incoherent anytime the word "energy" is mentioned, and I don't even want to discuss what happens if anyone dares to utter the dreaded word "nuclear". <br>
