RE: bending the blade - my guess is that temperature has nothing to do with
it = what is happening is that small ammounts of creep are being removed by
the process of drawing the blade beneath the foot just as a piece of paper
can be uncurled by drawing it over the edge of the table.

RE: a perpetual motion machine - I HAVE ONE!  (DAMN I'M GOOD!)  REALLY! A
GROUP OF US AT MIT INVENTED IT!  Unfortunately we never could agree among
us how large to build it and hence it has been neglected.  I'll be glad to
tell you how it works however and perhaps someone will help me figure out
how large it ought to be.  Before I do this I want to have a few SERIOUS
VOLUNTEER CRITICS who are credible - i.e. shoot it down, Please!
