Dear NASA,
Maybe you could use a harmonically-undulating crystal lense as a stellar sail.

Merry Hollidays XTCOST!
This is a note I was about to send to NASA but I thought you all would appreciate it more:
Dear NASA,
Here's how to get to the stars:
Use gyroscopic torque to undulate through the interstellar medium.
Isn't "interstellar medium" redundant?

Heard about an old friend of mine on Google: "Times Online - Britain ... Entering the Pump Room, the Queen was serenaded at the door, to her amusement,
by Henry Dagg, a 47-year-old busker, playing Ave Maria on a saw. ... www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-285545,00.html",
(even though you can't link without paying money.) Serenading the, ahem... Queen? Gno Gna Gna Gna? Henry is one cool cat. He and I used to roll about in our money after a hard days busking on Grafton Street. Henry lived in an old 19th-century factory, rode a bicycle-saw-cart to work, had a home-made-trap-door-grating built into the top of his saw-case to protect his busking money from the Irish gypsy kids, could whistle two tones at once, and had produced the theme music to a radio cooking show by recording kitchen sounds onto reel-to-reel tape, tuning each note by dubbing it and controling the tape speed, and splicing the final products together into a magnetic score.
Another guy I knew from Ireland was: Ramblin Dan and his Professor World One-Man-Band. I met Sabina and her Jingle Bells and Ramblin Dan at a busking festival near Cork where Dan kicked my ass in a busking competition and walked away with 500 pounds while I scrambled around paying off my pub debts with a measly 100 pound second place prize. Sabina and her Jingle Bells drew a teeming crowd of wee folk -- children, that is.
Anyway, this morning brings me another sepulchre and weighty epiphany: THE CORNUCO-PATIO-CHAIR!!! Relax and re-store your energy in this beautiful bouncing patio chair made especially for people with sensitive buts who like to get to work in a long parabolic trajectory with a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2!! Shown with our fabulous product model, Cornuco-Pat!!
