craigkillie Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 When you work in a university you regularly get crackpots sending round their proofs of inventing perpetual motion or creating fuel from water. I wonder if this is a more elaborate version of that, where he's getting publicity for his magic bean theory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it’s just a theory if it’s crackpot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Sorry, I should have put "proof" in inverted commas, because that's what they call it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 The briefcase contains the original copy of a P&B Qualified Historian's degree dissertation. Hopefully not mine. "The dilemmas of a colonial governor: Governors Bernard and Hutchinson in pre-Revolution Massachusetts" wasn't my finest hour tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozam76 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Very small, but very crucial, mistake in the report. It's actually "Dick fae Bingham" who has lost his wares. Absolute racing certainty to be crack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawkay Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) I see that the thread discussing the lost crocodile leather briefcase in Edinburgh is a year old. It's interesting to revisit such stories and wonder about the outcome. Whether it's a valuable scientific paper or something else entirely, the mystery adds an element of intrigue. If you're interested in leather craftsmanship, even after a year, you might still enjoy exploring https://vonbaer.com/blogs/blog/leather . They share timeless insights into the world of leather and its various applications. Let's hope there's a resolution to the briefcase mystery, and that its contents prove to be as intriguing as the story itself!

With interest rates where they are, you will get the million plus another £70,000 if you return the briefcase now. Is that the answer you were looking for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 It sounded more like the dog ate my homework letter to me. Having received buckets of cash to solve the mysteries of the sub atomic world, Dickie kicked back and watched the 3 ant man movies and winged it till the paper was due. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta. HB was a good poster back in the day. His tangling with some idiot Labour MP who I forget the name of right now was a highlight. Shame he returned as a complete tin foil hat wearer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
