It is for the exact same reason we have oil reserves.
Sorry, no, the USA's strategic oil reserves are not for day to day or even year to year market manipulation purposes. Yes, it makes great political theatre for whatever current president to gravely announce the release of x million gallons from the reserves in order to help consumers though these difficult times of high prices blah blah blah. But the marginal impact is tiny while making it seem like whoever is taking decisive action. Their true purpose is for a severe crisis level supply shock events such as war in the middle east.
They use it to stabilize prices when another tinpot dictator threatens to flood the market with Anti-Jemimah.
Yeah it was bloody surreal. Only in Canada I guess. I mean I never have even seen, smelled, or eaten anything with maple syrup. Its food so it is pretty important but calling a syrup a strategic product? Errr...
The DNA doesn't lie! Sure it was degraded and we had to amplify and replicate degraded copies.. but it said the rapist would have brown hair and blue eyes.. and look.. does the suspect not have brown hair and blue eyes?
Later, in the jury room... DNA is always right.. GUILTY!!!
Worse, he resembles the CGI rendering. A lot of talented forensic artists will be seeking employment elsewhere in a few years.
oh so we serve police officers now? It's our job to make them feel safe? I thought they were supposed to serve us? Well..the humans must be shoved. They will go down the stairs.. Space has a terrible power after all....and being able to see everything is absolute power. We all know what that does..
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of interesting.
can't be these types a fish they are said to live at such a low depth that to be that close as some of the photos show they literally blow apart due to the fact there isn't the sea pressure
Exactly. Criminals (at least the good ones who aren't in jail after their first go) are extremely risk-averse. It's smart to do so, when you're in an already too-risky profession. You don't take on extra risks unless absolutely necessary. The idea that an intelligent crook would stand around trying to figure out if the laser-light show was backed by a real security system or not is silly.
They let some dumb juvenile take the risk. Their contribution is in transportation to the job site and the den mother function.

Je dirais même plus, "osti de calisse".
Elle est même plus grave qu'au Tibet, c'est tout dire.
bacon isn't too far off... China has a pork reserve: http://www.marketplace.org/topics/life/bbc-world-service/chinese-government-opens-strategic-pork-reserve
So has our government.
Wrong. Stephen Harper is getting a LOT of outside to pull this off.
You don't pull maple syrup. You pull taffy. You may be doing it wrong.

They use it to jam enemy radars.
Or the aftermath.
Think of the children.
No, think of the pancakes.
a hundred million black holes in the universe? Given that there are 170 billion galaxies, that's a pretty small number of black holes.
Every now and then, one leaves its galaxy and goes to another.

They only have to fly for fifteen seconds to catch up.
At those speeds, a load of bricks or a Stalin statue would do a lot of damage.
Heck with the kitchen, I know a city chock full of baboons, its a little district near Maryland.
They painted their faces with woad, and you fell for it.

A little district, but you will enjoy its presumption and its powerful bouquet.

Never look a baboon in the face; they take it as aggression.

Ants may have discovered TCP; but they are ignorant of the secret of aggressive litigation...
Litigation to protect their IP?

Has arch been able to enable stack cookies at all yet? Without these it seems pretty unusable for many purposes.
The cookies come in two stacks of six wrapped in celophane. Yum.

They surface and explode, the terrorists.

No, but I think he might be a wizard.
Of course, he attended Hogwarts.
The next product will be FacePal.

It might deter opportunistic criminals but it is also a giant flashing laser-show advertisement for stuff worth stealing.
They will steal the security system.
It might be fake. But if they do an upgrade that actually does something, how's the perp gonna know?
There is a car with a light show on top, and a guy in an arresting blue outfit.
Don't forget the other F-word, F*book. Then we'll have hordes of literal couch potatoes.
A seriously evil application of this would be to design herds of cows that don't need to eat grass.
Speaking of F-words and photosynthesis-able cows: a huge boon if the cows are still able to produce methane - reduces the need of fracking.
Fracking cows!
Joe just covered himself up in the garden. He is watching tv and we think he is going to bud.
...and I have, at the Met, the Tate, and the Louvre.
Oh, I'm sorry, were you referring to imaginary attributes? Sorry to intrude.
But think about leaving mom's basement some decade. Those really are fine museums.
If you are thinking of stealing something, then may I suggest a guard. Some of them are incomparable.
