Re: Gerbil Power

That guy reminds me of the white ninja. And venn diagrams do suck.

But on topic. Lets be generous, and say any given gerbil spends 50% of his time running on the wheel. This would mean that to keep a house powered at all times, you would need twice the number of gerbils that wouuld be enough to power the house at full capacity. This is already a very large number of gerbils. Keeping them fed and watered would in itself be a tedious task. The main problem, however, is to coordinate their schedules so that every time one gerbil gets off to sleep/eat/drink, another gets on the wheel from said activities. This alone would be nigh impossible to accomplish. Also note that hampsters are biological life forms and thus can succum to nasty things like illness, injury, and death.
