We’re a professional outfit here at Jazz Biscuit. We did not forget to hit publish on this set of links yesterday. No sir. Jazz Biscuit: Yesterdays links… today!

• www.irishamericansforobama.com…show that Obama’s great-great-great-grandfather, Fulmouth Kearney, came from Moneygall in Ireland.
• Twenty Major on carbon footprints… talk about predictable. I think I might write a twenty major post generator. Insert public figure A, topical issue B, and then fill in the gaps with flaps and cunts where appropriate.
• Two children look on as a tattooed transsexual nurse tears at the internal organs of a man on the operating table. Blood spurts into frame as the Hitler-lookalike nurse grimaces with demented pleasure. The patient, who bares an uncanny resemblance to Ryan Tubridy, seems to enjoy it by the end. Click.
• On Steorn - the inner forum has started to pick up speed again. It looks like a release of the technology by end 2008 or early 2009. I have run simulations of the effect and see gains in energy where they say there are some. So I am confident that they have something. Do you believe? By the way, the post that is from is one of the greatest ever written: wood peckers, free energy AND anti-gravity, all in three succinct paragraphs. (Steorn previously.)

Back before it shut down, group blog The Community At Large posted quite a bit on Steorn, an Irish company who claimed to have built a free energy device that created more energy than it used. (Steorn official website, wikipedia entry.)

Well now, maybe they’ve been beaten to the punch by an American?

Thane Heins is nervous and hopeful. It’s Jan. 24, a Thursday afternoon, and in four days the Ottawa-area native will travel to Boston where he’ll demonstrate an invention that appears – though he doesn’t dare say it – to operate as a perpetual motion machine.

Full news article here. Steorn is mentioned in the article. They both mention magnets and electromagnetism and all that so is it possible that our very own physics-ignoring country men are about to be trumped? Or maybe they’ve all discovered the same thing in different ways?

There’s videos of the device, called Perepiteia, on youtube.

Found at giant American super-blag Boing Boing.
