#1 You'll have to go in and examine the images of the Torsional Racheting Actuator yourself at Sandia's image gallery. Drag down the "Categories" menu box and select appropriately. There are lots of intriguing electron microscope pictures.

Incindentally, the "gray goo" scenariao involves disassembly nanobots getting loose and reducing all life and structures on the earth's surface to a couple of feet's depth worth of dissociated gray chemical slime in about two weeks.

#2 Prince Charles is an Environmentalist that goes through Jet-A fuel on his world junkets like Jack the Pig. He has nothing to say that is useful. Move along, good people. Nothing to see here.

#3 Um, the royal family has never been known for their scholarship or intellectual ability. Princess Di left school at 15 or 16 - and you wonder why she sometimes appeared to be a perpetual teen?

At its best, the house of Windsor has rock solid common sense going for it. The current heir to the throne is perhaps not its best representative .....

#4 Yup - a man who talks to flowers is going to see this stuff akin to the sky falling on his head.

Coffee enemas?!

#5 I'd like to hear what Wills has to say about this sort of issue. I doubt he's as whacko as his father. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

#6 Just wait for the ol' porphyria to kick-in.

#7 Did this batch of eggs go bad? I didn't know about Di leaving school but that makes sense. I always wondered why she ended up being a au pair and not something higher up the food chain. I thought Chuck had more going for him? But I guess was wrong. Maybe the smart gene skips a generation?

#9 Sort of disagree with those taking shots at Charlie's IQ. He's had some fairly intelligent, if not necessarily practical things to say about urban architecture.

The real problem is the one that plagues all celebrities: the quest for relevance.
