"Kids, remember yesterday when they said there was No future? well--- this is it!" - Blank Reg. This blog is about the future or lack thereof and how our 21st Century present has or hasn't lived up to the 20th Century vision of the Future.I write about the history of the Future, the future of the Future and pretty much anything involving robots.

Inventor of the K ration dies at 100
Obituaries often make for intersting reading. Not only did the guy develop the "K" ration during WWII, he even found a use for Conscientious objectors, as subjects in one of the first controlled studies of starvation. After the war he was among the first scientists to sutdy the link between cholestral and heart disease. Since he lived to be a 100, maybe he knew what he was talking about. He was also Lon Chaney's nephew.
