How much is the Secret Service going to flip out when they blow something up, point it in the wrong direction and give him a sunburn, or any other such silliness that is quite entertaining.... I guess this episode will involve no trips to the Alameida bomb range. No explosions, gunfire, or fire for that matter. Doesn't this show the stupidity of his people if they are going to have him challenge Adam and Jamie with a myth they have disproven twice already?

Where was Scandinavia 54 million years ago, if it was in the tropics then it is no surprise there were parrots there then. Or have the scientists forgotten about continental drift.
Back in 2001 I was working for an Insurance company, my incompetent boss was in his first week of a 2 week vacation, and this was my first Admin job recently being promoted from an Operator we were hit by Nimda. He wouldn't let me anywhere's near the Antivirus or security.... We had 250 workstations in the 3 buildings, 20 servers (2 were Netware, 18 were Windows NT4). I discovered that half of the servers were running Antivirus (InnoculateIT, Yeah gotta love CA), but they were 2 months behind on their definitions. Ohh and we were all Token Ring still utilizing 16 mbit MAUs.
Went into the computer room to see how things went that night and people were calling in complaining the network was slow. I looked at the Novell server (It was our primary authentication and we were running NDS for NT) to see what was going on, and the Console had continous messages flying up saying that it found a virus. Called my boss to let him know what was going on, he told me where the book that came with the software was, and answered a couple quick questions, called him a half hour later his wife answered (ohh he left but not to go to work, don't know when he'll be back or where he went, aka bastard!). Checked the other servers, learned how to update the definitions, and how to install it on the servers...
During my second pass around the servers and some of the workstations I figured out that they were getting reinfected. So I had to bring everything down (all the servers, workstations, Wang gateways....) and start one at a time with the main Novell server. Cleaned over 100,000 infected files off that one, and an additional 10,000 plus on the PDC, over 6,000 on the BDC a few hundred off other servers and workstations. Finding a few other viruses on the workstations. Found that the Anntivirus was also misconfigured so corrected that during my sweep across the entire building.
We were completely down on Thursday, Friday was unstable at best, and I worked all weekend. I went over my max Comp time by 35 hours (you can work a max of 70 hours and get 1 day off per 10 hours for a max of 7 days off, which was a complete rip off because if I work 10 hours of overtime which I should be paid 15 hours at my normal rate why do I only get 8 hours off !@#$%^& Salary).
I recovered the entire network by myself correcting major security issues (aka half the servers aren't running AV, definitions behind by 2 months, clients misconfigured), while cleaning up a network wide virus outbreak, put in 50 or 60 hours of OT and I got 1 day off. Yeah, now that's appreciation.

Why don't they just use solar power on top of the vehicle. Aren't they working on flexible Solar Cells?
