It says "As a young engineer who specialized in the development of
gasoline
engines, Lanchester's true interest was mechanical flight. To avoid being
branded a lunatic, he wisely applied his considerable genius to an interim
problem that he believed would advance the science of aeronautics."

I have no problem with being a lunatic. Too far over the line to be a
genius though.

His work on Aeronautics was contemporoary with Wilbur and Orville
Wright.

Funny how people will give credence to global warming without thinking
about it. Pity no one will take a good look at my particular brand of
lunacy.

Well, Lanchester was not a lunatic, he just feared being branded as one.

My investigations into global warming have resulted in me being branded
a lunatic, not just by you. I have explained before that when the Arctic sea
ice melts, then the resulting rapid climate change will result in horrors of
the
same dimesions as those shown in "The Day after Tomorrow".

So like you I cannot claim to be a genius. Expressing views such as those
above makes me a fool, for fools rush in where angels (such as Landsea)
fear to tread.

Cheers, Alastair.
