For those of you who take this troll seriously, here's just a sampling of
what he has posted in various newsgroups during the past month:

What are the disadvantages of lasers when compared to LEDs?

Hi:
People in the groups I post to keep telling me that the only advantage
of photonics over electronics is bandwidth. That is so wrong.

Hi:
Is it possible to give electronics the advantages of photonics? If so,
how would this be implemented?

Hi:
In the process of coalification, intense heat and pressure drive away
volatiles [smoke], minerals [ash], and water away from peat thereby
eventually transforming into anthracite. I would like to know what
exactly makes up the the volatiles in coal. What are the volatile
compounds in coal? Where can I find pure coal smoke?

Hi:
Is it true that any fatty acid will have a greasy texture?

Hi:
What odorous chemicals do anaerobic bacteria [excluding the
acetic-acid-producing bacteria] produce when they feed on ethanol in an
oxygen-free environment?

Hello:
What odorous chemicals do anaerobic bacteria [excluding the

Hi:
Here is my wine fantasy.

Hi:

AFAIK, the caproate smells like goat-sweat, and butyrate smells like
rancid butter.
What else would my wine smell like?

Hi:
Green light has a wavelength of about 510 nm. Is it possible to
generate green light using an AC electric current that has frequency
high enough to have a wavelength of 510 nm? Has this ever been done
before?

Makes one wonder if there's some trolling contest for the most hits...

Anyway, here are a few more snippets, some with an odd sinister bent :

====================================================================
Methanol blinds the left eye by attacking the cells that make up its
lens. Symptoms are:

1. Visual distortion; 2-D images appear 3-D; visual hallucinations
2. Loss of image perception
3. Loss of color perception
4. Sudden and complete blindess; subject cannot tell even dark or
light!; the description is usualy "seeing nothing at all", no light, no
darkness. Just totaly blank. Wierd feeling!
====================================================================
Acoustic trauma can result from sudden exposure of the hair cells in
the organ of corti in the left cochlea to sine-waves at a frequency
higher than 40,000 Hz and an intensity louder than 140 dB. Symptoms
are:

1. Sudden and complete deafness in the left ear; perception of an
CRT-like high-pitched sine-wave tone in the left ear

2. Severe pain in the site of trauma in the left cochlea
====================================================================
Narrow-angle glaucoma puts sudden and intense pressure on the lens of
the left eye. Symptoms are:

1. Visual distortion; 2-D images appear 3-D; visual hallucinations
[ ... ]
====================================================================
No offense but I asked serious questions and would appreciate serious
responses in return.

I am aware the coal's volatiles are what give coal its flavor. I like
the smell of coal. I don't care for the carbon or the ash. I just want
the coal flavor.
===================================================================
Hi:

I wonder what would happen if each of my voluntary muscles [including
speech muscles; excluding breathing muscles] were completely relaxed
into a state of total paralysis [and could not contract or "un-relax"
no matter how much stimulation those muscles recieved] and someone
surrounded me with oxyacetylene flames and burned the skin all around
my body resulting in extensive superficial partial-thickness burns.
Lets also say -- for some magical reason -- the burns did not cause
immune responses [or affect my immune system at all], inflammatory
reactions, or hypovolemic shock, and that my environment was totally
sterile [free of infective agents], free of allergens [and other
irritants] and that the burns had no affect on my respiratory system at
all. In addition, let's say that the pain I experienced did not cause
hyperventilation and did not affect the respiratory system or immune
system at all and that I was totally conscious during this burning
procedure. Last but not least, lets say I am otherwise [other than the
burns and paralysis] totally healthy. What effects would the
excruciating pain of the burns have on my nervous and circulatory
systems? Would those effects be fatal?

Due to the paralysis, I would obviously be unable to scream or flinch
no matter how much pain I am in.

Thanks,

Radium

Huh? I am asking a serious question. I have no application. I am just
in it for the science. I am interested in the science of it.
