I often wonder why people enjoy writing this BS.

It seems that people have come to believe that if they use the Model T Ford in a sentence then gullible folks will believe what they have written. I must say that is the worst load of bullshit I have seen yet attached to the Model T Ford.
Perhaps a junior high school report that was written with no research in hopes that the teacher knows less than enough to tell the story is completely full of baloney?
This is the obvious answer to the youth who say, "what's wrong with smoking a little dope or dropping some acid?"
I take anything on AboveTopSecret.com with a grain of salt.
Too much Tin Foil Hattery going on there, same with Godlike Productions.
I always wondered why oil companies would have threatened to shut him down in the first place!
Still, scary to thing that some people out there actually believe that!
Royce, Well I belive you this time. I was wondering did they have hay balers back them? I though they still used pitch forks for the hay as tractors were still very new then. So no balers, no baling wire, no cow magnets.
Robert,
If you don't believe what I say you are mistaken. I don't speak BS and I don't suffer fools gladly.
Hey Robert,
I am not sure when the first hay baler was in use in the early 1800s, the frist ones were stationary, and wire was used. I have not looked at the link, and will not bother, but often there are thing that seem like they must be modern (for example the automatic knotter still used on modern hay balers) that have been around 200 years, and then something as basic as a shipping container that has only been around a half century.

If they all believe this crap, I have a gold magnet for sale.

The price of gas this morning is $1.23 per litre. (4.65 US gallon)

OK, off topic. I have seen hay balers right here in river city that were powered by horses going around a circle. And yes, they used wire. There were two or more guys pitching hay into the baler. I forget the rest of how it worked but it did tie the wire automatically.
The perpetual motion folks have been telling that magnetic model T story since model Ts were new.
It goes along with the 60 MPG carb in the early 30s & the flywheel engine of the 60s.
And the dune buggy driven from coast to coast on 23 gallons of water a couple of years ago.
We just gotta kill them there greedy people that won't release them there secrets of how to run a car fer free.
Actually I did drive a car recently that used no fuel whatsoever. Trouble is it stopped when I got to the bottom of the hill.
Good one, Aaron.
I thought the perpetual motion machine was invented the first time a babbitt thrust washer failed.
Hey Aaron,
You could drive a dune buggy further than that on 23 gallons of water, you just need enough alchol and gas as a carrier.

To some people every day is April 1st.
To Barack Obama every day is April 15.
To Republican men, every day is one day closer to extinction.
Oh well. It WAS a fun post.
