    I appreciate the freedom linux gives me and the freedom slashdot gives me. And enjoy both. Sometimes it's fun to laugh with the naysayers and other times fun to laugh at the naysayers.

    A young blonde woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself from the Bourne Bridge. She was about to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the bridge, crying. He took pity on her and said "Look, you have so much to live for. I'm off to Europe in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on my ship and you can start a new life in Europe ... I'll take good care of you and bring you food everyday"
    . "How can I repay you for such kindness" she asked.

    "Just let me make love to you each night..." The blonde agreed.

    That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on, every night he brought her three sandwiches and a piece of fruit, and they made passionate love until dawn. Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by the captain.

    "What are you doing here?" the captain asked.

    "I have an arrangement with one of the sailors, who stowed me away" she explained. "I get food and free passage to Europe and he's screwing me".

    "He certainly is", the captain said. "This is the Nantucket Ferry."

    Kinda like slashdot.

    Who would be removing stories giving details of this case from google.ca?
    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
    All I see is "Details of the case are subject to a publication ban". How often does that happen in the U.S.? All we know is somebody threw a trailer hitch that killed somebody. Which begs the question what else are they doing?

    "If you shoot an eagle, or kill an eagle, they want to put you in jail for five years," Trump said. "And yet the windmills are killing hundreds and hundreds of eagles. One of the most beautiful, one of the most treasured birds, and they're killing them by the hundreds, and nothing happens. So wind is a problem."
    I can't believe that some people think it's OK to just kill all those beautiful eagles. The symbol of American freedom.

    It's some sort of heiroglyphics. Some people say they're supposed to be lights. Or is it just another one of those Erich von Daniken things?

    It's a 51.5 degree slope. Saw a documentary recently which said the builders would take a square rock measure 14 units in and 11 down (or vice versa) cut along that line and just keep doing it until it was about 500 feet tall. And then there a slight incline of the sides. All in all it's very impressive and must have been much more so covered in it's original limestone casing and gold top.

    Lived in Vancouver 20+ years ago. The weather has always been whacky there. And you'd be surprised how much of your good weed is grown outdoors in dirt and under the sun. What's next, is global warming to blame for all the junkies out there too?

    Bigger Buds! There's really just as much positive as negative to global warming. Some people say the glass is half empty and some say it's half full. Some people just like to complain.

    At some point, something's got to give. But if you state the obvious people object. And giving third world countries billions of dollars doesn't seem to work. Carbon pollution by comparison is laughable.

    They think they're Texans, they want to be Texans. I have no problem with Texas, have never been there. Have lived in Alberta though and stick to my main point, it's different than all the rest of Canada. And as far as the left/right thing that's American B.S.. Your politics have nothing to do with reality. And you misquoted me.

  24. Alberta isn't like the rest of Canada. They're more like Texan wannabes with Cowboy hats and boots. Fascist stuff like this is par for the course. Lake Louise is nice though. Just don't step out of line.
