Been done before... ancient aliens who crashed on Earth genetically engineered primates into a slave race (humans) for the purpose of mining gold, which under the right conditions, converts heat into electricity. This would be silly,if not for the fact it's what is written in the texts of ancient sumeria, the first known human civilization.

This is exciting!
I use thermal generators in my work, and while they are truly wonderful things (Natural gas goes in, heat and electricity come out - no moving parts, ten year run time), the price point dropping or the efficiency rising would be just lovely.
If this can drive the price point for thermoelectrics down sufficiently, I'm sure we'll see some absolutely bizarre applications. The fan on the wood stove is just the start...

So, in theory, instead of roasting my balls and making me infertile, the heat generated by the processor in my laptop could be converted into energy that could be used to help power my laptop, thus increasing battery life? Sign me up!

The lower half of Manhattan is gay so that won't work.

Sofia Vergara is so hot, she makes Julie Bowen look plain. Bowen is so beautiful I have to squint. I go blind when Vergara is on screen. And other reasons.

Sofia Vergara.... who? *google* OOOOH! Her! Meh. That mega fake accent she does on Modern Family is incredibly annoying. She's like the spanish Fran Drescher.

I found it funny that the article states we might be able to use these devices to cool computer chips some day. People were using peltier (TEC) devices to cool CPUs for overclocking back in 1998.
I used one with an Alpha heatsink and one with a water jacket I copied from TNPROUD2B's design at the hardwarecentral forum back in the day.

6 face on a 9 body. She's hot to be sure, but you could find average looking girls with dynamite figures like that on any college campus in the world.
Now you take a woman like Sofia Vergara, a breathtakingly beautiful woman with a body like the art on a Mexican's low rider, add that mix of sexual confidence, exotic charm and mystery. You have a goddess, a woman worthy of a pedestal. A modern day fertility idol.
Your girl looks like a waspy New York heiress that you only married because you want a job at her father's equity firm.
Which is why you're not only gay, but you are a gay reptilian, shape shifting alien that is trying to mimic human, male, heterosexuality by what he read in a holo-textbook.
