Helium Leads to Geothermal Energy Resources

Roland Piquepaille writes "When we think about alternative sources of energy, we often forget the potential of geothermal energy resources. In fact, it has been estimated that accessible geothermal energy in the U.S. represents 90 quadrillion kilowatt-hours or 3,000 times the country's total annual energy consumption. So far, it has been difficult and expensive to locate good sources of geothermal energy. But now, two U.S. researchers have found a new method which doesn't require drilling. They are using the ratio of helium isotopes in surface waters to point to the best sources of geothermal energy."

Even your atheist buddies are afraid to look you in the eye now.

Why would you presume to know how atheists would react to his post? Does your superstition preclude a sense of humor?

Celine Dion?

While we're all making fun of Celine...

LETS INVADE!! People often wonder why Canadians put up with Celine Dion. Well folks, this is the answer, right here. Because, you see, the songs you've heard are actually only a tiny fraction of a miniscule portion of the echo of her voice's true potential.

If anyone ever invades we'll turn her up to full power. Nothing would survive (except, perhaps, Celine herself, and cockroaches, and those tube worms that grow at the bottom of the ocean). So next time you foreigners think of invading, just imagine the horror and the agony of dying to the theme to Titanic...

Also she knows the brown note, but that's more of a tactical use whereas I'm talking about strategic deployment.
