"Just like governments only pass laws against something after people start doing it, the Laws Of nature rely on most things not to be tried at all. If someone does try, the laws hurry there and pretend they were in force all along. In the case of cold fusion, this took a bit longer than usual."

I saw that expressed a different way: The way to get really rich is to find some new crime and crank away at it before people realize what you're doing and issue a formal prohibition. By then you have your fortune and they can't take it away.

Speaking of death related, just back from the quack with a prescription for antibiotics. I think I have an infected wound in my mouth.

 

(The wound is from a splinter of olive pit, in a not-quite-completely-pitted Kalamata olive on a homemade Greek pizza.)
