That's not true, I have some 20Watt bulbs. That said they are 'energy saving bulbs.'

Basically he admitted he was completely wrong and had no basis whatsoever for what he placed on the web but he didn't do a damn thing about it.

If that's the case, then why the fuck doesn't he take the site down?

Shouldn't that be 40 Yodawatts power?

Yes, but he knows he's full of shit, which is why he doesn't bother trying to get in public debates over it because he knows he'll get his ass handed to him. Darkstar, on the other hand, actually believes he's right.

Thank god for small wonders, now quickly hide that website so Darkstar doesn't get a hold of it!

He says the DS runs on 5 gigawatts. The combined power of a few dozen naval vessels is in that range. 5 gigawatts is so low that even the most primitive forms of power generation for something that size will be higher.

For him, the only source of canon is his ass...

Yes he said
You relise your not dead?
What about it?
Those are 60 Watt Bulbs, there
We usually have 75 or 100 Watt bulbs...

I think I'm going to build my uber-TIE fighter now...

I have 13w, compact flueecents on, about 4 of them in one room)

Because "its all based on feel." In other words no matter how logical and right it would be to use the scientific method he still uses "feel" to determine everything.
