happythoughts 0 #1 January 8, 2007 I read a statement that sex is what makes the world go round and I got to thinking. When I was a kid, we didn't have a/c in the vehicle. Living in Florida, that was a problem. So, we used the old 4-40 a/c method. Drive 40mph with 4 windows down. So, maybe the solution to global warming is to make the Earth move faster. Anyway, I was watching figure skating. As the women pull their arms in closer, they spin faster. Here is the idea, we need to make the Earth smaller so that it will spin faster and cool off. At the fat part near the Equator, we trim the trees. Not cut them down, just take 50% off the top. It's just a theory at this point, but it works with my exercise ball in the kitchen.

Have everyone run their air conditioners at full blast with the windows rolled down. Problem solved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #6 January 9, 2007 Reminds me of that thread about a plane taking off on a movable runway. How about we tie down all the planes in the world pointing to the east and crank 'em up all at the same time. How many planes would it take? I'll bet Kallend could work it out. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your environmentally correct Honda Civic Hybrid, Toyota Prius, and home-electricity system would choke if they actually read what you wrote! So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Assuming the Earth has uniform density, for convenience, and that all the light aircraft make an insiginificant contribution compared with all the airliners and military jets, and we had enough fuel, and ignoring the deviation of Earth from a perfect sphere, I calculate that in 4 billion years it would make EXACTLY zero difference, but we'd burn a lot of Jet-A. Now, tidal friction from the Moon, on the other hand...... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #13 January 9, 2007 QuoteYou have trees on your exercise ball? Not as many as before. I needed a physical model to test this out on. The neighbors cats were helpful, motivated, and excited about the project initially. When I had to put out the fire using the shower nozzle, they showed a certain moody discontent. I don't understand why women like them so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
