The windmills of your mind

This is not just academic nit-picking: these processes are generally very slow, but oil-wells do refill." (Yorkshire Post, 5 August 2004.)

Mr. Reed is right when he says that 'processes are generally very slow, but oil-wells do refill.'
Of course, while he didn't mention quite how slow this process is ([cough, speak quickly] several million years), we all know that windmills slow down the rotation of the earth so quickly as to be a massive problem in the immediate future... In fact, I can feel the deceleration as I type this now...
