reporter: We’re talking with Rusty Os,
scientist and advocate of research commercialization.
Dr. Os, tell us about your latest invention.
scientist: The amazing glowing potato. Look!
reporter: There’s a bright idea. Why is it monster-movie green?
scientist: Technically, because it’s part jellyfish.
reporter: Uh... I see. Where’d you get the idea?
scientist: My nephew Billy said, “Aw, Mr. Potato Head’s boring, unk.
Cuncha, like, make him radioactive?”
reporter: But it’s, uh, perfectly safe, right?
scientist: Perfectly safe! And just in time for Christmas! Best
potato cannon ammunition you’ll ever see! Better stock up,
it’s gonna be a hot product launch!
To the best of my knowledge, Antony Trewavas is nothing like Rusty Os. But what do I know?
give me a clue so sweet and true
