    Isn't it

    No. You are mistaken.
  2. I had a dog named Jim. He's in my avatar.
  3. All of the poll options are wrong. Christians taste like chicken, Jews taste like chicken, and books taste like...well...cellulose.
  4. 9 months...from when I was conceived until I was born. Other than that about a week while on a hunting trip.

    Can I ride along?
  6. You tell him that if he ever wants to come to the States he has a place to stay. The world could use some more people like him.
  7. Ever since I can remember I've had this dream where I'm driving a car with my sister in it and we go straight off a cliff. We both jump out and fly safely to the ground. Who needs airbags! The nightmares one has about things that really did happen are the ones that really mess with your head.
  8. Ate something once that coulda been a cat. Or a possum. Or maybe even a large rabbit. Nor quite sure what it was other than something dead and flat that was along the road. Hell, "Meat's meat and a mans gotta eat!" Little dab of Tabasco sauce and it went down just fine.
  9. no one said you had to. sorry you really need to watch it. all i can say is that its a 13 year old clip in which prof. albert bartlett brilliantly explains the greatest problem facing humanity namely overpopulation and our inability to understand the exponentiel function. Of course nobody has to watch it, so why the sarcasm when nobody does? I'll bet if you gave a link to a vid that was 5-10 minutes long a lot more people would take time to watch it.
  10. I started to watch it but when I looked at the timer and saw that it is over an hour long, I stopped. I don't have time to sit and watch a youtube vid for an hour. Maybe a rundown would be in order? Just the highlights would be fine.
  11. Why did you have to post that? WHY????? Now I'm homesick, damnit!
  12. I thought I lived alone until I saw a mouse run through the kitchen, so I adopted him.
  13. I'd say something like, "Oh heck, I've got lots of naked pictures of you...how many do you want?"
  14. Heres a recipe for an energy drink you can make in your kitchen. It tastes better than the commercial stuff and is actually good for you!
  15. We all saw what happened when gas hit $3 here in the States...ethanol plants being planned everywhere. Too bad it takes almost as much energy to produce the ethanol as the ethanol contains, not very efficient. Ethanol plants need to be located near hydroelectric plants and places where wind and/or solar energy can be harnessed for the distillation. I'm not sure what the emmisions are for ethanol, maybe someone else can fill us in. Methanol is familiar to me...not something you want cars running on if you get stuck in rush hour traffic.
  16. By all means we should be working towards making our impact on the environment as small as possible, no argument there. But I don't see that happening to any great extent in the near future. I think the best thing that could happen to promote alternative energy sources would be for oil prices to climb. Gasoline at $5/gal. would make a pretty good incentive for a lot of people.
  17. Neither. I just happen to agree with part of his philosophy, but by no means all of it. Sure you can have my autograph, but I gotta warn you that it's not worth much.
  18. Why are we suddenly hearing a huge round of "The rock won't be turned into little smithereens" nonsense these days? Personally I've thought the euphemism "End of the World" was perfectly reasonable as a way of saying "End of the Human Race." Sure, it's not precisely accurate, but it's a phrase. Suddenly the deniers are chomping at the phrase. Is this a last-ditch effort to save face? It's like they're saying, "Ok, sure. Global warming is real and it's actually our fault and it's actually bad. But we caught you in a verbal slip! Nya nya nya!!!" Nobody is saying "Nya Nya Nya". How can someone be called a "denier" when they acknowledge that there is global warming and that we are contributing to it? Where is the denial? All I was trying to say, in a civil manner, was that it is rediculous to say we are harming the planet and it's tiring to hear all the alarmists say that we are. We haven't hurt this planet, we won't hurt this planet, and we won't be here as a species long enough to be anything more than the tick of a watch in Earth's history. We and the things we do ain't shit to the planet, yet people think we humans are all that matters.
  19. Good point. The planet will be fine. It's only the end of the human race. And here I thought it was important. Fill 'er up! It is important, but only to us humans. Mama earth couldn't care less. In fact, she'd probably be glad to get rid of us.
  20. ROFLMAO! You twisted fucker you! Hey, that officially makes you a gigilo/whore, don't cha know, Cash & Poontang on the mind at the same time! PREVERT! Uh, yeah...and your point is...? (I just have to figure out a way to obtain a DNA sample like Monica did)
  21. I ran a google search and got a good background on him. Very impressive credentials. Hopefull he will have the computer simulations worked up by Purdue in his presentation. Best part is the lecture is free.
  22. Mankinds arrogance never ceases to amaze me. Sure we're contributing to climate change. But we're not the only cause or even the largest cause. "Save the Planet!" they cry. But it's not the planet that they are really trying to save, it's our own stupid species they are worried about. There is nothing we can do to this planet that she won't eventually recover from. Remember, she has nothing but time. Human civilization has been around for what, 50,000 years? That's not even a blip on the timeline of existence of this planet. We haven't even been around long enough for major evolution to have taken place. We aren't much different (compared to other species whose evolution we have traced) from the apes that first walked upright 3,000,000 years ago. Depending on which source you quote somewhere between 95%-99% of all species that have ever existed are extinct, virtually all before man ever appeared. Some of them lived here when the atmosphere would have been toxic to most life forms around today. Some were killed off by climate change that enabled mammals to take over. It's all part of the life cycle of a planet, nothing new about climate change besides it being a political tool this time. Have a nice day!
