Ron Posts 163	A fourteen year old boy from a poor country, reading science books and putting together bits of junk, creates a windmill which generates electricty for his family. A story from John Campbell's ASTOUNDING MAGAZINE? No! It is reality: http://www.amazon.com/Boy-Who-Harnessed-Wind-Electricity/dp/0061730327

Byron Bailey Posts 3582	Good for him! I was a little disappointed that the boy didn't find a new way to deal with the real problem of methane and cattle and instead merely created a windmill out of q-tips and duct tape or the like. Still, I can see the opportunity for a new network television series portraying his exploits now that MacGyver has been gone for nearly half a generation. edited by Byron Bailey on 11/4/2009 -- Yeah, I weigh 800 pounds. All muscle. Really. Well, mostly muscle. Well, the doctor said that I had muscles -- hundreds of them.
