One small step for Tim...

Conversation with Tim 9/7/08

Tim: Dad, when I'm just starting my career I'll need some money, so I think I'll go into advertising.

Dad: OK

Tim: Dad, What is the most endangered species?

Dad: The blue whale

Tim: If I could just get a small blood sample we could use cloning technology to prevent extinction

Dad: Are you switching to cloning? What about your other goals?

Tim: You mean the energy project? Well, cloning probably requires a lot of energy... hey I know! First I will solve the nuclear power problem and then I will be very famous and I can probably get a lot of sponsors for my cloning project.

Dad: What about after that? A lot of people think the ultimate project would be colonizing outer space, starting with the moon.

Tim: Yeah, I am going to need a lot of sponsors for a project of that size.

Dad: There is also great potential in geothermal power.

Tim: Yeah, and if you could figure out a way to get to the exact center of the earth, you would feel no gravity. I have aleady started working on a plan for that ... [pause] Dad, I have to go to the bathroom. But I WILL solve the world's power crisis. First I'll save humanity and then I'll save nature.

With his loyal sidekick Petey, of course. That is, if Timmy promises to sanitize his hands, I'll let Petey be his sidekick.

And I am wondering if Tim hit the water, when he has such important and complicated subjects to occupy his mind.
