Global Dimming
wiredog writes "The Guardian reports on research which shows that the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface has decreased by 10% in 30 years. This has implications for global warming models and, especially, agricultural output."
Crap, and California just lifted the federal ban on medicinal marijauna.
I hope I can get my job back at Apple.
Well, I showed up, he led me to the back bedroom, and in the twinkle of an eye, he pulled down my Speedos, bent me over a chair, and plunged his mansteak into my backdoor. He called it "goin' Kobe" on me.
My question for Slashdot is: does that make me gay?

Off-topic, but did anybody else see the MS Visual Basic .Net Resource Kit ad at the top of this page under the story? That's the funniest thing I've seen on /. for a while!!!
Bush is really weird. He is SUPPOSED to be "smart". He apparently did well in school (can't remember but I think B+ average or something). Some of his close associates say he is intelligent. YET he seems SO DUMB. I don't know what's going on. You just need to look at his Bushisms to get an idea. He also seems to lack an understanding of the world, except within a simplistic religious framework.
I really don't know what's up with Bush. The guy is supposed to be smart but doesn't show it...
One theory I have heard from right wingers is that he is being manipulated (I imagine by neoconservatives but they never seem to pinpoint exactly who). Some right wingers have pointed out that Bush has changed since taking over the White House. They say that the speeches Bush reads have nothing to do with him. They argue that Bush would never deliver some of the speeches that he does now. Their theory I guess is that Bush is put in an uncomfortable position...
As it stands now, Bush is the dumbest US president in 30 or 40 years. Even horrible liers like LBJ and Nixon are "smarter"...
