but the ice caps have shrank extensively in recent years, and at the current rate the arctic ocean will be devoid of ice during the summer of 2050.
But, didn't they predict that they would be gone in 2006 because of Global Warming already?
Anyway, it doesn't matter. If the poles get smaller, it's because of Global Warming. If they get larger, it's because of Global Warming. If they don't change, it's because of Global Warming. They have all the bases covered. Whatever happens, it's because of Global Warming.
You actually believe in the So Security "lock box"? Bwaa Haa Haa! Your "lock box" is a file cabinet in the SSA office full of IOUs. The money taken from your check (and your employers share) gets dumped directly into the federal budget, to be spent just like the rest of the taxes. You can call it "a seperate revenue stream", but it ends up in the same spending pool as everything else. If the government runs out of money, you ain't goin' to get yours back. There ain't goin' to be anything left to get back.
You mean that you think that government under Obama would continue to implement a law that has been determined to be unconstitutional in the courts? Oh wait, that is actually happening right now.
the US is one of the worst countries in science education.
What are you talkig about? We've got the latest "intelligent design". We teach that Global Warming is caused by SUVs, light bulbs are evil, innoculations cause mental disease, polar bears are almost completely gone, and people used to ride around on brontosaurus. We know that nuclear power plants will likely explode like a nuclear bomb, anything organic is good for you, diluting something until there is almost no chance that there is one molacule in a 50 gallon drum makes extremely powerful medicine, and waving your hands over a patient will cure serious diseases. The internet was designed by Al Gore as a series of tubes, cell phones are a major cause of cancer, and violent video games is one of the the major causes of crime.
Why should you be worried about science education in the US?
What good is there in spending millions of dollars to find out that Professor Plum killed King Tut in the library with the candlestick? What are you going to do about it? Arrest someone who dies thousands of years ago? Have the current Pharoh make a law banning candlesticks? The information might be somewhat interesting, but how much should we spend to find out? The library, the candlestick, Professor Plum (and his descendents) are probably all just dust in the wind by now.
My wife had a kidney/pancreas transplant and I have metal hips. Guess which one of us has to take anti-rejection drugs,.
Which one of you had your "operation" in the high schools wood shop by one of your arts/crafts buddies?
I get the feeling this thing wasn't medically sound. How well sealed was it around the lens? However it was done, it still sounds like a stupid thing to do.
Can they do something about those unwanted text messages sent to cell phones? Too many of the new cell phone users in Arab countries are getting prematurely detonated by unwelcome messages.
This should be great news, because in the '70s we only had 10 years of oil left in the world. Now we have more than 10 years left! Sounds to me like our oil reserves have increased since the '70s. Maybe in another 40 years we will only have 20 years left.
They just want to make sure that the important stuff is remembered. I'm surprised they didn't add information such as the number of sad little snowflakes that landed on his unprotected back, which then greasily fell away into the dirty gravel road, or the exact temperature he experienced during his sojourn at each filthy garbage truck site, or the types of slimy things eerily leaking out of each lonely garbage truck.
They should have, at least, mentioned the slap slap of his Nike 6.0 Mavrk Low Skate Shoe - Men's (available at Amazon.com for $59.95) against the Premium Synthetic Turf. Size 6' X 10', 46oz. Rubber Backed with Drainage Holes (also available at Amazon.com for $330.00) in the foyer of his $3,000,000 house (available from local retailer). Also, they should have denied any connection with any retailers who wished to push goods on an unsuspecting public.
Ok, I'll bite. How many grandmas does it take to power a house for a year? How many monthe worth can you store, before the neighbors start asking questions? Should you bother feeding them, or is it more economical not to?
It should cover the costs of determining what impact it will have on the local wolf population. That's a common method used by the tree-huggers to slow down road work around here, where we have an active population of 0 wolves.
I thought that forcing everyone to use CFLs would reduce our power needs by such a huge amount, that additional electric plants would be unnecessary. Or was the only improvement moving the US light bulb plants and jobs to Chinese CFL plants? At least we won't be filling our landfill with those chemically disastrous light bulbs any more.
"The days of wondering whether those drunken sex party photos are indeed the Olsen Twins, or if they are just the Mary-Kate and Ashley's faces photo-shopped on the bodies of Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse are OVER!"
You mean that poster next to my Olsen Twin poster is a fake? (Rushes off, and rips a poster off the wall).
I'm sure that some internet company will have sold off all the good bits long before the first possible mission can get there, like they are doing with the stars, and all the good bits will have been recorded in a book to be stored in the Library of Congress (and no where else).
You can't use DHMO!!! It's been declared illegal in several states!! That stuff have been found in CANCER cells!! Hundres of people die of DHMO overdose every year!!! Did I include enough exclamation points yet!!!!

You want to guess what my religion is? Have fun.
Norse? Voodoo? Wiccan? New Age? Scientology? Satanist (do you read those bibles backwards)? Roman (or the greek version)? Elvis?
The doctrine of the Trinity is that all three are the same entity. Hence Christians are monotheists.
Then they throw in Satan, Angels, Saints, Mary, Jesus, ...
If they don't believe them to be part of their cult, then why do they pray to them?

Butt then, wouldn't he have to walk around mooning everyone if he wanted to use the camera? I know Maplethorp calls it art, butt...
Thus, everything that is neither practical, reasonable or logical must be art!
Sounds like slashdot must be art then.
Can they do something about those unwanted text messages sent to cell phones? Too many of the new cell phone users in Arab countries are getting prematurely detonated by unwelcome messages.
Ok, it tool McAfee 4 years to discover this was happening. Does that really make you feel good about using them for your internet security?

It's hard to make software idiot-proof, because idiots are so ingenius.

You mean that poster next to my Olsen Twin poster is a fake? (Rushes off, and rips a poster off the wall).
I bet you can't guess which poster I removed!
Now we can start looking for good landing sites.
I'm sure that some internet company will have sold off all the good bits long before the first possible mission can get there, like they are doing with the stars, and all the good bits will have been recorded in a book to be stored in the Library of Congress (and no where else).
Ok, these are CELL phones. Why aren't they allowed in CELLs? Where else are you going to use them?

'prog' sounds like something you'd find on a porn site. i.e. 'progging' videos.
You can always ship it to Bombay. I'm sure it's entrails will be most interesting after dealing with all the drugs.
