The Ballydeelin Research and Development Group have been conducting experiments on wind-generated electricity. One of them has learnt how to play the flute. They point out that if the electric shock from their windmill was as mild as some people claim, it would have had little or no effect on him, but he learnt to play the flute. Critics point out that if the shock was as strong as it should have been, he'd never have chosen to learn an instrument that would make a perfect lightning conductor.

Sinker Daly has been thinking about the planets. He says it started out as a way to avoid thinking about his socks, but he found the planets fascinating and he started planning a mission to Mars. Work on that is temporarily on hold while he thinks about his socks again. Someone suggested that he think of them as twins, and this has made them much easier to understand. He's enjoying the clarity of his socks at the moment, but he hopes to return his thoughts to Mars within the next week.
