From an accident with a stick in the fourth grade (it's funny until someone gets his eye poked out...). I leapt on the "Read More" link. Dammit. It's my understanding that the complexities of the optic nerve would make it near impossible to just stick together and make work. Millions of nerves. Similar to a cable with millions of wires all the same color. The body does amazing things in healing and regeneration, but that might be a little too much. I also wonder about how the brain would react. People with lazy eyes become functionally blind in the lazy eye because the brain just doesn't accept signals from it...
I work for a Cisco Gold partner. Word is, all Cisco products that run on Windows (CiscoWorks, CiscoSecure ACS, IP Telephony apps, etc...) will all be ported to Linux. A version of Call Manager has been running on Linux for over a year (it's just been kept secret).
I was a high school science teacher in a previous life. One of the curriculum subjects was global warming. I always tried to teach in a way that presented both sides of controversial topics and then we discussed the merits of the arguments, letting the students come to their own conclusions. When Mt. Pinotubo erupted in the Phillipines, it spewed more green house gases in a very short time than man has contributed to the atmosphere since the time man has been making fires in caves.
I have a couple sources for this data sitting in a box somewhere in my basement - sorry they're not handy.
The point is that it stands to reason that this one cataclysmic event would have a significant impact on global warming as compared to the slow contribution of people over a long time. It seems to me that it's a self-regulating system. If things get warmer, more evaporation and cloud formation occurs, contributing to lower temperatures. The points in earlier posts regarding the cyclical nature of climate are spot-on.

Oh, well...
Many of the reports site a very large triangular shaped vehicle that makes almost no sound... I wonder...
What about my DMG? Are we talking 3.0 or 3.5?

Statistics!
First!
But again, the databse is the soft chewy center of a website.

Are we running out of sand?!??!
