Hey...don't get me wrong...put a classic PISS pinball
machine in front of me and I'll change out a hundred
dollars worth of quarters..."hey dood, don't you see
my quarters sitting there, I got the next game!"

In 1913, Lee De Forest was prosecuted by U.S. government officials
for claiming to potential investors that his company, RCA, would soon be
able to transmit the human voice over the Atlantic Ocean. The
prosecuting officials argued that his claim was so utterly ridiculous
that he was surely ripping off investors. He was ultimately released
but not before being admonished by the judge to stop making any more
fraudulent claims.
