UNFORTUNATELY (fortunately from my employees perspective), I suddenly
came up with this idea for x-ray optics for mammography (now where'd
that come from). I knew for awhile it might be possible but never
looked into it enough. Now, I find there are roughly 10,000
mammography units in the USA each costing from $200,000 to $400,000.
If we could make these x-ray optics to be sold for $20,000 each, well,
$20,000 times 10,000 units is a big amount of money, enough to get
venture capital types interested. Kinda looks as if my idle time will
be soon filled.

I'm sure the women of america and their physicians will have a difficult
time deciding from one of your cheap rube goldberg substitutions for
standard mammography gear, and the non-mammographic research and devices
being developed at the reputable Dartmouth School of Medicine.

Probably similar to what Cardinal Bellarmine told Galileo.
Dartmouth being the Rome Church.

Unlikely. Galileo was a genius. Frogwatch is...a frog. And even if Loogy
kisses him, he won't turn into a prince. I'd trust the team at Dartmouth
to develop the right stuff, and Froggy to develop...a boat any fool
could manufacture using only empty cardboard boxes, a red Swingline
stapler, and his "magic spray" that turns the cardboard into a substance
with all the strength and durability of toilet paper.
