I'd think twice before modeling myself after the notorious Ken V.

Shipmate, there's notoriety and then there's notoriety. If I were you, I'd explain to Interpol--again--how the whole plutonium-smuggling thing was just a big misunderstanding.

That was settled long ago. The last problem I had was with England's version of F.A.T.A.S.S.. (Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service.) I was trying to board a plane at Heathrow, and they had a big problem with some tea I was bringing along with me. It was regular Chinese Black Tea, but was of a special cut called "Gunpowder." Eventually, they let me on with the tea -- in a plastic bag -- but they just HAD to confiscate the cardboard package, I mean after all, It said gunpowder on the label, can't let anybody board a plane with anything that says "gun powder" on it, can they?

(This actually did happen last year, exactly as I stated -- just not to me.)

I'm curious, Ken--do you have a solid reference for the infamous Gunpowder Tea Incident? Somehow, it has the ring of foaflore. But I'm glad the plutonium misunderstanding turned out OK. I told a couple of very serious Feds all I knew about it--you needed the heavy metal as ballast for your yacht, that's all.

For the gunpowder tea incident see:

Read the short article, then click on "Full List" for a detailed account. You might also want to verify the existence of gunpowder tea. Google gunpowder+tea or click on that item in the article.
The keel on my boat weighs three tons, and it's lead with 6% Antimony. If I wanted to make it heavier, I'd use tungsten -- twice the weight of lead and a lot cheaper than Plutonium. The Plutonium is for my time machine.

I'd love to see the specs of your time machine. Plutonium? My temporal-mech claims that's risky. (I don't know, I leave that kind of thing to the experts.) I'm still using good old thorium, but would like a high-powered upgrade--my txy generator =will not= get me into the Garden of Eden, and my PEOPLE magazine deadline is getting damn close--the one for an exclusive inteview with Adam and Eve. When I get my money back from the Infernal Revenue Service, I'll be shopping around.
