One of Fred Fortune's biggest fans hangs out at Think-A-Holic Lounge and reported back to us (you know who we are) that the scuttlebutt there is that Fred recently capitalized on the Cold Fusion craze that NASA is still trying to capitalize on. In Fred's case, he's supposedly taken a job as an intergalactic salesman, peddling monatomic copper, the byproduct of cold fusion on Neptune when nickel is transmuted into copper by the cold fusion process, in order to make safe, clean electricity for Neptunians.
We heard he's hawking monatomic copper tubing to hardware stores all over the solar system. We also heard that he's peddling monatomic gold to fashionable jewelers on Fifth Avenue and Rodeo Drive. We also heard that he's dead, which is, in all probability, the only real rumor among the three.
