That reminds me of a quote:

For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen.

Well, total feedback malfunctions are unheard of.

You're thinking of this one perhaps?

There's also one called "A Minute Passed", but I can only find the text:

It's a Douglas Adams quote. From So Long and Thanks for All the Fish.

If I remember rightly, DA was a writer for Monty Python for a little while.

Thanks for the Monty Python clip. I enjoyed it!

It was also in the first book, when they are attacked by the sensitive and emotionally enlightened cops (until the unheard-of feedback malfunction precipitated by a morose mechanoid).

Don't think I've seen either of those sketches, cool.

Metastable

Ahh. it's been too long since I read the Hitch Hiker series. Too much of this "Knight to e5" nonsense instead.

They're from an album (remember those? :-); I don't think either made it to the TV series.

Don't rely too much on my memory! Trust, but verify. Wink

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams

After leaving university Adams moved back to London, determined to break into TV and radio as a writer. An edited version of the Footlights Revue appeared on BBC2 television in 1974. A version of the Revue performed live in London's West End led to Adams being discovered by Monty Python's Graham Chapman. The two formed a brief writing partnership, earning Adams a writing credit in episode 45 of Monty Python for a sketch called "Patient Abuse". He is one of only two people outside the original Python members to get a writing credit (the other being Neil Innes).[12] The sketch plays on the idea of mind-boggling paper work in an emergency, a joke later incorporated into the Vogons' obsession with paperwork. Adams also contributed to a sketch on the album for Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Adams had two brief appearances in the fourth series of Monty Python's Flying Circus. At the beginning of episode 42, "The Light Entertainment War", Adams is in a surgeon's mask (as Dr. Emile Koning, according to on-screen captions), pulling on gloves, while Michael Palin narrates a sketch that introduces one person after another but never actually gets started. At the beginning of episode 44, "Mr. Neutron", Adams is dressed in a "pepperpot" outfit and loads a missile on to a cart driven by Terry Jones, who is calling for scrap metal ("Any old iron..."). The two episodes were broadcast in November 1974. Adams and Chapman also attempted non-Python projects, including Out of the Trees.

Thanks for all of these recent updates.

Status Report: All is quiet on the Northern Front ( ie, way up North here in Canada ). In my particular area things seem vey relaxed, I was going to cut some hay later today but will put it off to tomorrow. I may go to the Grocery Store later and possibly pick up the mail as well. Let us all relax and keep calm, no danger of any new ideas developing here at this time  lol.

As stated if someone has invented a genuine new idea in Chess that would be a good thing. This is of course a rare event and there is a thread on the go here in these forums claiming that a new idea has been created. Over 550 posts have been added to that thread which is going round and round and round trying to settle the questions about the possible new idea. In an attempt to look at this sort of thing in a humorous way I have stated the obvious ( that I have invented Nothing ). Mind you I once had an idea for a semi-perpetualmotion machine but things did not work as planned  lol. 

I had a couple original ideas, I just don't expect anyone to believe the truth (the same applies to a few of my experiences).  One idea involves a perpetual motion machine, however it will only work in a vaccuum; it is much more complicated then your first impression suggests.

corrijean

Those are notoriously difficult to invent.

cabadenwurt

Thanks for the recent posts.

Yes any type of perpetual-motion machine is indeed very tricky to develop as one is basically trying to get something from nothing. Many Scientists say this is an impossible task but then again people used to believe that the Earth was flat  lol.
