Well I was just thinking that the holiday season is now here, and no doubt Rosetta@home crunchers will be carrying more weight. So, I decided to think of how we could do it with Rosetta.

Hmmmm.

The best thing I can think of is to work off those unwanted pounds by crunching harder for Rosetta. So, put your bodies into it! That's it! Crunch harder! That's it! Now you're getting it! Yyyeah, Baaby!! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Whose your daddy!

I imagine the answer is for each of us to buy a new amchine and then power it using an exercise bicycle. This way, the only way to boost RAC and credits is to put your legs into it...

Perhaps carry the machine up a very high staircase and let a controlled fall power it. Might have to carry up an old (i.e. heavier) one with each cruncher.

Maybe power it by wrapping yourself in copper wire and spinning around in circles between two magnets.

make it 4 magnets "north-south-north-south" and you'd only have to spin at 1800 RPM instead of the 3600 needed for 2 magnets. hehehehe Hmmm Residual field voltage might be too low, where'd you attach the "Field Boost"????
