If the total life generated cannot exceed the cube of the source, this line of research may prove a dead end.

While I was walking in the woods, some of them broke into my laboratory and spilled the solution I was preparing -- nearly a full quart of purified imp gall wasted! They did not seem to grasp the absurdity of a crowd of unwashed peasants with dung on their boots complaining about the smell. It is well past time I did something about this problem. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Two days later: I dug up the notes from my permanent invisibility thesis.
