Dance review: 'Pirates of Penzance' in San Jose Nov 22, 2009
From the steps packed into each dancer's arsenal to dauntingly busy crowd scenes, the show is a perpetual motion machine.

Our idea of mass education does vast credit to our intentions; like perpetual motion, the thing would be fine if it would work, but the mischief of it is to keep it from colliding with natural law. As results stand now, a graduating class of two, three, or five hundred persons is practically nothing but a tableau display of what the law of diminishing returns can do when it tries.

No funerals, no kids, no wrinkles Oct 29, 2009

Possible October surprises Sep 9, 2009
Economically, the world would have invented a perpetual motion machine, in which government could create resources at will without adverse side effects.

Of all the attempts to create a free lunch, or a perpetual motion machine, the delusion by government that it can create wealth is the most dangerous. (Asia Times Online)

A glorious night of TV on the Radio Jun 6, 2009
The fact that drummer Jaleel Bunton, in perpetual motion, and bassist Gerard Smith, who lent a marvelous thrum and thump to every song he touched, were greased cogs at the core of TVOTR's polyglot mix of machinery goes without saying. Ultimately, what made the band's 80-minute performance Thursday so brightly and brilliantly charged with electricity was all of the above elements, hard-wired to connect through, and to, multiple outlets.
