want to read something interesting? go look up the latest issue of ieee
spectrum magazine and read about the 4th fundamental electrical component.
this one is a passive component that can not be built from resistors,
capacitors, and inductors, and therefore becomes a fundamentally new
electrical component. and even more fun, it has memory. or if you aren't a
pledged to silence member of this secret society who gets their publications
delivered to their doorstep by armed guards every month you can go read
about it on-line at:

among 155k google hits for it.

hey, it does strange things with magnetic and electric fields, maybe you
could show them that its really based on your magical levitating diamagnetic
dancing neutrinos!
