The mad scientist theorized
set out to prove
global warming reversible
with one Herculean move
of digging up the earth
installing cogwheels within
which after years of toil
landed him in the loony bin.

Very witty take, Laurie!
This gave me a laugh! I did the global warming take too! It's my not so humble opinion that they're all ready for the loony bin!

These are some great responses to the prompt today, and yours is wry and wonderful.
=)
Far Out!
Love this .......
Oh yeah...I like the Herculean reference...nice...
My only hope is that the loony bin was a green, recycling sort of loony bin. Great write Laurie. Thanks for sharing.
A great write. Wouldn't it be super if the mad scientist actually had the answer .
This makes more sense to me than any of the theories of the scientists that I am growing so tired of hearing. I like the analogy very much. Laurel
very pc/environmentally correct :)
angular acceleration
hehe...of course it was the corporations that paid his way in..that way he would meddle no more...
The best outside-the-box ideas do make us look crazy, don't they? :)

A method to his madness, I'm sure. Great piece!
Maybe his methods will be proved right in years to come.
glad he put his energies
to good use! thanks
I thought it was money that makes the world go round, but I'd rather it was loonies! Fun Mag, indeed!
Completely enjoyed this!
Love it!!!! :-)
A terrific ending. LOL.
Hah, if were only that 'easy'!! Clever take.
Loved it!
I've got my place booked in there, too! Hehehe!
Shame! I thought he was on the right lines. Love it.
Reason trying to fix problems produced by reason using more reason !.
Good one. I like the desperation this implies... a last resort, hopeless attempt to fix the problem.
ahahahaha - this appeals to me on sooooo many levels as I'm sure you can appreciate ... good one Laurie!
