Then why do they have locks on the Panama Canal, huh?
A search shows that the locks are actually for the mountain lakes that link the two oceans which are higher than sea level. The actual difference is only 20cm.
Sea level is about 20 cm higher on the Pacific side than the Atlantic due to the water being less dense on the Pacific side, on average, and due to the prevailing weather and ocean conditions. Such sea level differences are common across many short sections of land dividing ocean basins.
The 20 cm difference is determined by geodetic levelling from one side to the other. This levelling follows a 'level' surface which will be parallel to the geoid (see FAQ #1). The 20 cm difference at Panama is not unique. There are similar 'jumps' elsewhere e.g. Skagerrak, Indonesian straits.
That assumes that they been living in the region all this time. It would be feasible that they lived in the tropics and moved north as the ice receded.
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. This video shows some clips of Bush's speeches back when he was running for governor. He comes across as intelligent and articulate. Now, the video's voice over concludes that Bush has some sort of early onset dementia. But I think the far more likely answer is that he concluded, correctly, that most Americans would rather vote for "someone they can have a beer with" than someone who sounds smarter than they are.
You don't get to be president, or attain any other position of power, by being a moron.
though his performance in businesses don't show much in terms of intelligence.
When a daddy machine and mommy machine love each other so much, they set up a factory that builds baby machines. Machines built at the factory come in lots, we'll refer to them as a litter. It seems Apple as found a way to fool male machines from the same litter when they try to collect data. It remains unclear if it would work for machines from different litters.

Men attracted to women when they are ovulating?
Don't worry little nerd. Just keep watching sitcoms and at some point it'll come up.
First I thought she was miffed by who they were trying to call. Further reading informs me they were under time constraints.
Or cut the baby in half. Apple can create the right side and Samsung the left side. Consumers get some awkward looking phones.
yea, he does hold 20% of BB stock. And you know that's not going to increase in value by itself.
You're luckily it isn't the summer solstice and someone near the north pole took your bet.
Apes. "Hey I'm 99.9% human."
MSN.com? Don't see anything about the olympics.
Dogbert is on the board
If the source code is available does it expose security flaws to malware producers?
Have you seen any cop shows (NCIS etc)? The tech guys/gals they have working for them are really sharp.
Don't cops do this all the time with cars that are meant to be stolen?

Right because you would have to ensure that the shadow of the building wouldn't upset the mating habits of the neighborhood birds.

Well their laywers must have sucked since they could have had a counterclaim to get back legal expenses.
It wouldn't be a jury trial.
This explains the concussion I received at Starbucks last month.
yea but it's easier to tell that you're flying into a star than a black hole.
A black hole might be too much for Bruce and his merry band, it would be time to send up Check Norris to karate kick the back hole.

Falling with style though
Its mission of evil must have been harder than they thought. hmm sort of like it is explained in your quote.
