101 Uses For A John Howard #85; Green Machine

With just 15 sleeps until the election, Kudelka is doing a sterling job in racing to complete his 101 Uses for a John Howard in time to, hopefully, begin his planned “101 uses for a Kevin Rudd”.

I believe that on November 16th, a book of the series will be launched and will be priced at $20.

Scientists have calculated that if it were possible to harness the energy expended by John Howard’s kicking and screaming as he was dragged towards signing the Kyoto protocol, you could power every household on the planet for millions of years. Sadly, this near-infinite source of energy is far too dangerous to be toyed with as, theoretically, the paradox caused by the presence of John Howard’s signature on the Kyoto protocol would cause the entire universe to implode.

Fortunately, there is a less dangerous source of power generation based on the principle of the Howard backflip. Once Johnny was hooked up to the generator with the monitor showing a continuous feed of opinion polls, the torque generated by the process of the little guy changing his story could power the planet.

Carbon trading? No way… flip!

Emissions targets? Not on your… flip!

Eventually, cloning and miniaturisation techniques would make possible the mass-production of the internal Howard engine, bringing an inexhaustible supply of energy to all humanity that, as long as the soundproofing was perfect, would be entirely free of toxic emissions.

  2. Archie, what a fascinating pair of comments those previous two are!

    I followed the links. Your content is so good that it has become attractive to content harvesters who then reproduce part of it in order to make their (no doubt profitable) Google-Ad farm look respectable.

    Why didn’t I think of this first?

  3. Mike, I saw those too. Damned sploggers – I at least asked Jon Kudelka for permission to use this series and I am doing it for no return. These animals are stealing that copyrighted work for their own profit.
