Gold Bugs

Postby knibloe » Thu Jan 19, 2012 11:49 am

I was reading someones post about Sprott being the ultimate silver bug. It reminded me of an electron microscope class that I took in high school.

In order to "look" at the items with the electron microscope we had to gold plate them. I used to have a gold plated fly somewhere. :D Other members of the class did avaious other bugs and items. I cannot remember any of them.

I have no idea where it went. I bet if I were to take the class again today. We would not get to take the samples home with us.

Cool, gold plated bugs would definitely sell for big money on e-bay!!
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. :D
