Assaulted, by batteries

Tue Jan 12 05:06:15 PST 2010

Decided to buy shares in lithium. Batteries are the future. Did a head count. My house in crawling in batteries:

  • Lounge Room
      Video remote (2*AAA)
    • DVD player remote (2*AAA)
    • Camera (4 * AA)
    • WII remotes (2*2*AA)
  • Bedrooms: Alarm clocks (2*AAA)
  • Study
    • Desk clock (1*AA)
    • Remote mouse (1*AAA)
  • Other
    • Camera
    • Air-Con remotes (3*2*AAA)
    • Fire Alarms (4*wide 6V)

And I'm sure I've missed some.

And when the lithium runs out, what next: Helium? Everyone driving round in cars with squeaky voices like Mickey Mouse?

And then what? Hydrogen cells? Could be a BAAAD idea. Oh, the humanity.
