INVENTOR SURPASSES HIMSELF AGAIN
By John B. Cause
.

Gyro Gearloose has always been a treasured son of Duckburg. His skills as an inventor ring through the entire scientific society of this planet, and uncountable astonishing and helpful inventions are the result. Who can ever forget his dirt-to-produce machine made for a local farmer, Ms. Grandma Duck, his gold-finding machine that is so powerful that it can find gold on the other side of this planet, or his nucleonic linear emisser that can teleport persons from one location to another in a matter of seconds? Just to name of very few examples.
Gearloose's business motto is 'Inventor of Everything' and it is this reporter's true belief that he is not exaggerating one bit!

When asked how he gets his marvelous ideas the brilliant inventor points to a simple wooden hammer. He reveals that his thinking proces starts off by a harsh self-inflicted blow to his head with the hammer! That's the way I think up inventions, he states and shakes his head violently from side to side.

Now Gearloose has done it again! He has received an order from trillionaire Scrooge McDuck to invent a substance that can tightly seal his colossal money bin structure on Killmotor Hill in such a way that no burglars can penetrate it. Gearloose wasted no time in inventing Impervi-wax with the remark Nothing can ever get through it - in or out!

McDuck's nephew, Donald Duck, was requested to seal the bin with the exiting new substance, and he did so for a small salary. Everything looks really nice and McDuck is very pleased to know that he will have no future trouble with - or speculations about - potential burglars.

Just in: It would seem that McDuck has rejoiced too soon! The sealed-in bin functions far too efficiently. This was discovered when McDuck tried to enter his building in order to fetch his nephew's wages; he couldn't get inside!!! This reporter is anxious to know how this problem is going to be solved. Stand by for updates... (WDCS171)
