Fun with fusion: Freshman's nuclear fusion reactor has USU physics faculty in awe

By Alan Edwards
Deseret Morning News

LOGAN — Craig Wallace had almost the entire physics faculty of Utah State University hovering (and arguing) over an apparatus he had cobbled together from parts salvaged from junk yards and charity drops.

"I bet I'm the only high school student that has one." 

- England is old and small, and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and reuse the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift" they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer."

GUIDE TO LOCK PICKING

"Advanced lock picking is a craft that requires mechanical sensitivity, physical dexterity, visual concentration and analytic thinking. If you strive to excel at lock picking, you will grow in many ways."

"The guide was originally written to pass on non-destructive methods of entry to members of the MIT Hacking community. At MIT "Roof and Tunnel Hacking" is a pastime where students explore the Institute where they live and work."

244 dogs in one house

By HARRY MACADAM

It took stunned RSPCA officers two days with 12 vans to remove the distressed mutts.

Neighbours said they suffered ten years of hell as the animals barked and whined all day.

There was also 16 parrots, seven cats, a rabbit and a chinchilla.
