Friday, November 15, 3 - 4 PM. Gerbil Power Demonstration by the US Department of Energy. Location DOE public auditorium, 1000 Independence Ave SW. As we look toward alternative sources of energy, we shouldn't forget that small mammals are an excellent source of power. Often used
in comics, cartoons and parodies, gerbils are actually a real energy source -- with just a little lettuce and cheese you can power a PC for hours. Of course, there's a good reason why gerbil power is featured in cartoons. If you haven't figured it out yet, this is the weekly fake event.
