My last video needs some notes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io6S_gRxk8c

- It's very hard to read the forces on the video. You'll have to believe 
me when I say that it quite consistently reads 3kg/30N. Then again: 
You'll also have to believe that I calibrated it without cheating, that 
I didn't fill my paddle with lead and that I don't push the paddle down 
to increase the measurement. There's only one way to be sure: Repeat the 
experiment for yourself. If you do, please share the results.

- I've mentioned it before, but didn't mention it in this specific 
video: There's no such thing as FREE energy. Whatever comes out you'll 
have to put in first.

- In my first video, I've made concessions into what to put in and what 
to keep out. I wouldn't go into heavy physics in it, but in the next 
version, I will put in this measurement.

- Watch how Kira looks up at me, in complete trust and admiration. 
That's at least ONE creature that thinks I'm 100% right, always.
