    Made me chuckle too. I'm sure Richard wont mind me saying, but having looked at his energetics youtube vids, there's an uncanny likeness with the avatar. However in reality I suspect that he owns a pair of eyes, otherwise how else would he make such exceedingly good amps.

    Ah! Just been reading the Art of Energetics, very interesting stuff, I can see how someone who masters the movement of electrical currents and the effect of components would be into this kind of stuff.

    I particularly like this bit:

    With practice you will become stronger, healthier in mind and body, revitalised in spirit, more relaxed, tolerant and self confident
    Now that I could do with for running this place.

    You don't need eyes grasshopper, all you need to do is be one with the force.

    Why can't I just be a muppet, or if you have to use a superlative of some sort how about Super Muppet. Being a filterlab tech-ie you could put a small superman S badge on Bunsen's white coat.
