USSA Scientists Discover New Form of Rubber

26-12-2003, 02:06
USSA - Researchers at the University of Academear announced today the discovery of a new type of synthetic rubber, which they dubbed Lilpotan. With a press conference this afternoon, they officially released the rights to the formula to the entire world.

"Yes, we were worried about some of the implications this might have," the head researcher proclaimed. "Lilpotan has potential uses in making more resilient tank treads, and more deadly rubber ammunition. But, since day one, the impetus behind our research has been the pursuit of better medical equipment. Therefroe, we felt that the benefits to humanity outweighed the potential security threats."

All told, the tab for the program was 12 million dollars.

I'll buy it off you for 1,000,000,000 USD.

It has already been released into the world, for free, to all. Donations to the college can be submitted out of good will, though, in the form of infrastructure or technology.

Hmm. If I give you the money, can I send my younger sister to school there? She's a demon, so you know ahead of time.

Of course she can. In fact, we are always looking for new students from the palaces of foreign nations. In fact, if you are a member of the 10000 Island Region, tuition is free and admission is guranteed.

Hmm. That, in fact, isn't our region, sadly. My sister Willow (I'm so evil!) was top in all her classes. She is also, of course, my sister. She's second in command of Jangle Jangle Ridge, along with her older sister, Sallah.

Thank you for this invention. Peace loving people everywhere commend you.So, in gratitude, the People's Republic of Samtonia would like to contribute a display entitled "Cinammon: The Dog Behind the Magic"
Included in the display are Cinammon's collar, favorite chew toys, displays of her rise to fame, and most importantly, a preserved body of Cinnamon herself. This is an amazingly valuable exhibit and we hope that you take care of it.

Thank you. Cinnamon would be roud. Oh, and we'll pay 1/2 of your research costs. That would be... Whips out calculator, punches buttons...6 million dollars. Here you are.
