[GreenKeys] popular relays?

[David Burns]

I have a theory that amateur/hobbyist astronomers have discovered that 
if you take a 255 polar relay and couple it to a silicon power diode, 
two Heineken bottle caps and half a toasted acorn, you can make a small 
warp-drive engine powerful enough to launch the entire assembly to Alpha 
Centauri.  But rather than shooting for the stars, they aim it at the 
dark side of the moon and watch for the flash of plasma when it hits.  I 
think this also explains why someone can ask for triple digits for a 255 
on eBay:

P.S. If the government suddenly bans the sale of polar relays, you'll 
know my theory is true.
