We found Cold Fusion! We found Cold Fusion!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We found Cold Fusion!
We found Cold Fusion! We found Cold Fusion!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We found Cold Fusion!
For the Excess Heat hath surely been measured.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Cold Fusion! It's Real!
For the Excess Heat hath surely been measured.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Cold Fusion! It's Real!
The truth of this word
Is become the truth of the world,
So we were right; so we were right;
And heat shall flow for ever and ever,
For ever and ever, forever and ever,
Heat is there, and Helium too,
Heat is there, and Helium too,
And Neutrons (a few),
And heat shall flow,
And heat shall flow forever and ever.
Heat is there, forever and ever,
Helium too,
Hallelujah! Cold Fusion!
And we shall exult forever and ever,
Heat is there, and Helium too!
And we shall exult forever and ever,
Heat is there, and Helium too!
Hallelujah! Cold Fusion! Hallelujah! Cold Fusion!
Cold Fusion Is Real!

To be performed, perhaps, at the annual International Cold Fusion Conference in Chennai, India, in February. Barry is invited to be lead baritone. --Abd 08:54, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
You did notice that this is performed by a Fraternity of Silent Monks.
Sure, though that's just one version. If you prefer to be a silent baritone, I'm sure that would be fine. Might even be better.
Unless you are a masochist, you don't want to listen to me actually perform this number.
I don't sing these songs, I only write them.
Belief in one's own inability to sing is a common effect of childhood trauma (it may have been very minor trauma, I'm not asserting this as a symptom of child abuse).
Like any skill, it takes practice and development.
However, you can hold up a sign if you like. Some people in the field are allergic to the term "fusion," and it's easier to close your eyes than your ears, so perhaps you could hold up a placard with the word "fusion" at the appropriate points.
So that the performance can be more universally acceptable, the singers will sing "Poop" wherever fusion is in the text, but you can hold up the placard. My kids will be thrilled.
Or would you prefer that the placard say "Poop" and the singers sing "Fusion"?
So many decisions, so little time.
Did you know that Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer has a very shiny poop?
Take my word for it, nobody in my family can carry a tune (or even play a musical instrument).
When anyone asks me if I play an instrument, I tell them that I play the buffoon.
But I make up for my lack of skills at performing musical numbers by writing atrocious song parodies.
As to turd polishing, that was a well-known practice at Bell Labs. They used to say that a Member of Technical Staff at Bell Labs was someone who could take a pile of poop and turn it into a highly polished turd.
Likely they don't speak Chinese either. Does that mean that they couldn't?
Okay, okay, old dog, new tricks. But I find that I merely learn more slowly and need more repetition at my age. And you?
My grandparents spoke Yiddish.
I don't learn by writing; I learn by doing research.
Then, when I've done some research, I write up my findings.
I also write to exercise my imagination. That's mostly what this blog is for. It's a tonic for when things are dull and desperate.
I do research when I write, that's part of it. I document the research when I write. Many imagine that my writing is polemic, but that's only true of later writing on a subject, where I have clear conclusions. Much of my writing is wall-of-text because it is really a record of research, a lot of data, and later redaction would lower the visible level, most of it would disappear.
Condensing the writing can make it take far longer, because of the process of deciding what is clearly relevant and necessary and what is not, and frequently small details are necessary to form the necessary intuitions.
Complicating this is that I also try to be thorough and to cover minor side-paths. It's not quick back-and-forth style, which, to me, with on-line communication, takes far too long overall, because of the lag time. In person, the chunks would be much smaller.
I do research when I write.
What are you researching, beyond your own memory banks?
Normally, if people are researching when they write, they annotate their writing with references to their sources.
When I do creative writing, I write from my imagination, calling up memories, but making no pretense to the accuracy of those memories.
Condensing the writing can make it take far longer.
This is where you defeat yourself, because your reader is not going to do that work for you. Rather your reader is going to skim, looking for meaningful information. And if none is apparent, your readers will discontinue the practice of trying to find anything meaningful or informative in your mind-numbing walls of text.
HK suggested writing in shorter installments and waiting for feedback. That way, if you write something that doesn't make sense, you are more likely to get helpful feedback to that effect.
