The EM bike is the brainchild of Professor Darwin A Holy of the Scarborough Heights Institute of Technology. Professor Holy and his crack colleagues at S.H.I.T. have retained Scotty and the entire Star Fleet academy exotic materials team to develop the material for the EM bike. They had considered using transparent aluminum, like was used for the whale tanks, but early stress testing revealed invisible cracking that couldn't be detected with an electron microscope. Deals have been struck with UPS for sourcing the exclusive brown paint for the completed EM bikes.

I had a very interesting talk with my life insurance guy today.
I was thinking that since we are all fairly like minded we should look at buying some group life insurance, get a good rate on the premium and all that.

Things were progressing along very nicely. I was explaining about the Ebike.
Ebikes are a big thing now, I could tell that he was like an old hound dog with a scent, sniffing around getting excited.
We talked some more and the conversation took a bit of a turn when the topic of salsa came up, I don't think he was understanding the concept properly. But that is okay, it is a bit technical.
Unicorn oil had him a bit dazed.
The plutonium had him noticeably nervous
I offered him some Alpaca Salsa to try to calm his stomach down but he declined. Strange?
Once the subject got onto the Methane bike, his stomach seemed to calm down and he quit twitching.

Anyways, to make a long story short he has agreed to insure us.
If there is enough interest in the group plan I will get the complete package out to you but here it is in a nut shell

For a mere $20,000 a month you will be entitled to a death benefit of $20,000. All funds are in USD except the payout, it will be in CDN.

For the guys or gals that are going into the shark pens to milk the sharks, they will incur a slightly higher premium. For them I have negotiated a $30,000/month payment for a $10,000 benefit.

Pretty decent right guys.

So all interested please email me

Sounds like a tremendous opportunity as long as the death benefit includes the obituary in the local paper. Have you priced out what that costs lately? The last thing you want to do is burden your loved ones with the outrageous cost of the obituary. Instead of condolences reading RIP, they'll read GRYCB (good riddance you cheap b*****d).

Could be a windfall coming soon that could lower insurance costs for this venture, plus reducing the need for contact with the sharks Blocker already captured.
The news has been reporting a temperature drop in Florida resulting in Iguanas just dropping out of the trees for the catching.
Now to tie this all together... If we can get some Almond tree shakers converted to Iguana tree shakers it will speed up the process.

You aint a kiddin'!!!! when I first heard of the falling stunned iguanas thoughts started pouring though my thick skull ;) hmmmm... maybe we could milk the iguanas??? or maybe we could make an GMO llama substitute out of them??? put em' in a rolling mill to get the oil out of em??? we will definitely have to put some serious effort into researching all of these ideas :) because when it rains iguanas it pours money!!!!

Maybe we should organzine a foundation to get the stunned iguanas back on their feet. I think this would be the right thing. The global warming commission would surely to pay us to do an in-depth study with a outcome to their favor. Once we get the iguanas back making their own living, we could recoup any incurred costs by holding their green cards. They are green. Therefore, any cards they must have should be green also. Once they warm up they might could be persuaded to do the necessary dental work on the sharks. We have to keep quality control up on the shark domestication crew. We cannot take a chance of getting any of the great brown horned shark DNA in our genetics. Also we do not need any dinosaurs from that island. That was a neat helicopter that they used to get to that island though.

We need to come up with a way to save the poor iguana's

So, I was thinking....

If we were to build a fleet of the m/ebikes, we could charge the batteries up, and rig the rear wheel up to a generator. The generator could power some electric heaters. The electric heaters could be used to warm the poor iquana's up.
It would be almost like perpetual motion.
I am so freaking brilliant, I should be up for a Nobel prize.
Er, I mean we as a group are so brilliant, we should all be up for prizes.
Just think of the categories we could be nominated for.
One just for the pure science
One for the mechanical genius that is this collective group
One for saving the iguana's ( I guess we have to keep the Unicorn oil and shark cartilage our little secret)
