Well, actually, LordRetard, steam is used to turn the turbines that generate electricity, so steam is technically the fuel of the present, and possibly the future. And most of that steam is produced by burning coal to boil water, and since coal is made from ancient plants and animals, which rely on the sun for life, you could say that those turbines are turned by solar energy. As a matter of fact, all sources of energy (except nuclear) can be traced back to the sun in some way, and therefore can technically be classified as solar power. w00t! Go solar power! Fuel of the future, present,and past.
O_o Well Steam has to be used to make power. What else expands 1628 times it size when heat is applied to the point of its evaporation that is so plentiful on earth?
its not like we can use a substance made of pure energy, and convert it into pure energy. we’ll stop using steam when we dont need to burn things to release energy.
also… my GOD i want one of those hats.
Prometheus, even nuclear power ultimately comes from the sun. Supposedly, the radioactive nuclei, like all nuclei except hydrogen, are formed inside of suns as the waste of their fusion reactions.
Is that the thinking cap as in, when we were in primary school there were six coloured thinking hats - yellow for positives, white for objectiveness, black for negatives, green for ideas, and red and blue for I can’t remember what?
The real truth is that to understand what a steam powered thinking cap does, or how it works, you need a steam powered thinking cap.
Also, only those who are using such a cap can build one, and the few who posses them understand exactly why they can not be allowed to spread any further.

No, they are formed inside of stars. The Sun is our star in particular. No uranium on Earth comes from the Sun.
Calthin, heavy elements like uranium are only formed in supernovae. So in a sense they came from a sun, but they certainly didn’t come from our own; they came from a star that exploded before our solar system even formed.

Methinks it might get awful warm in that.

It’s fantastic in the winter.

steam: fuel of the future.

That might be true if time moved backwards.

prometheus - that was a great Alice Cooper impression, thanks!

I’d buy one!

and here i thought that his brain was overheating….

Mmm.. This page turned into a Science debate…
January 24th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
Well that steam powered hat musta given off alot of thinking power to bring soooo much smarts to the site.

On a different note, it must be rather difficult to read the newspaper when it’s covered in green paint.
March 23rd, 2007 at 7:49 pm
So what exactly does it do?…
April 9th, 2007 at 8:19 pm
Prometheus, I think my brain imploded. I think the smoke is the thinking cap burning as it over heats from trying to make him think.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:27 am
Biff must have painted the newspaper back then, it only makes sense.
May 29th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
I have one. That’s what I use to write these comments.
May 30th, 2007 at 10:06 pm
I just know that thing is about to explode.
June 19th, 2007 at 11:54 am
The picture here sums Biff up to a T. Genius, Crazy and always stylish.

the size of his mouth is AWESOME
July 16th, 2007 at 10:19 am
ouch. steam burns.
and yet, i find i have the overpowering need to buy one. much like the car key trap.
August 1st, 2007 at 4:54 am
Is it me or is Biff smiling, at least a bit? He surely looks satisfied.

@Capn Steve
You just destroyed any hope I had of being one of the few, the proud, the steamers >.
December 22nd, 2007 at 5:59 pm
I need one of those, it sounds like it would be comfy in winter
January 15th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Pros: Noone could ever say you wern’t thinking.
Cons: Use at home MAY lead to asphixiation. o.o;
March 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
just blowing of some steam???
April 17th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
prometheus, you take this forum waaaay too seriously
April 22nd, 2008 at 3:06 am
Wow, everyone has been debating the usefulness, temperature, and time period of the hat…My thought was that it looked awesome and I wanted one.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:36 am
I just love Biff.

No, they are formed inside of stars. The Sun is our star in particular. No uranium on Earth comes from the Sun.

And Bach, steam power seems to fare poorly in automobiles.
That means it doesn’t work well in cars.
