2) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Joke Thread (Message 59780) Posted 24 Feb 2009 by John McCallum Post: Little Johnny... Nickels and Dimes Little Johnny is always being teased by the other neighborhood boys for being stupid. Their favorite joke is to offer Johnny his choice between a nickel and a dime -- Little Johnny always takes the nickel. One day, after Johnny takes the nickel, a neighbor man takes him aside and says, "Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. Don't you know that a dime is worth more than a nickel, even though the nickel's bigger?" Johnny grins and says, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I've made $20!"

5) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : A novel use of a trafic jam (Message 43123) Posted 3 Jul 2007 by John McCallum Post: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/northamptonshire/6262134.stm Thanks Mod Sense the article gives a 'bit' more detail but not much at least it say's where it is being trialed unlike Channel4 or the PA.
6) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : A novel use of a trafic jam (Message 43118) Posted 3 Jul 2007 by John McCallum Post: Last Updated: Tuesday, 03 July 2007, 04:20 GMT Slow-moving traffic will be used to generate electricity for a UK supermarket chain. Lorries will drive over metal plates set into the road just outside a Sainsbury's depot. Pressure from the vehicles triggers a series of pumps which are linked to an electricity generator bizarre, whats the link to that story? That's all there was it was on AOL News I'll try to find a link probably on Sainsbury's web site.
