Many scientists are also predicting global warming to also slow or destroy the circulatory system of the ocean, or the Thermohaline Circulation. However, this is part of what powers Hurricanes. The Gulf stream (sorry, I'm from the US) flows up from the Carribean across the shores of the Atlantic Coastal States and back up and across towards Europe. If this conveyor belt were to be disrupted (forgetting the dramatic climactic changes that would already occur) it seems to me that Hurricanes hitting the US would be weaker as there would be less warm water moving up the East Coast of the US since warm water is what powers Hurricanes.
I am certainly not a meteorologist, but it seems that these two catastrophe scenerios do not coexist well. I suppose Hurricanes could be much worse around the equator. Any thougts on all that?
Adults and teens were asked to choose from the following list and specify what invention they most wanted: toothbrush, automobile, cell phone, personal computer, and microwave oven.
one of these is clearly unlike the others. the toothbrush is for preservation of the body, the other items are all luxuries you could do without. why don't they make this a real article/survey and ask "which is the greatest invention: toothbrush, clothing, medicines, shelter, etc."
(and no, trolls, pr0n is not a more important invention than any of the above):)

The strain's attack and mortality rates were highest among people aged between 20 years and 50 years. Are you scared already?"
Homer: Eh, not the end of the world.
Marge: No, it's the Apocalypse! Bart, are you wearing clean underwear?
Bart: Not any more.
Seriously though, if you want an article that will make you soil yourself silly, read the Demon in the Freezer. It's a long read, but definitely worthwhile. And scary as hell...
in The Stand the communicability was more like 99.4% (pg. 30).
that would leave about 1.5 million people in the US (assuming our population is 280 mil). seemed like there were fewer in the book/movie, but that is a technicality.

i modded you up b/c i completely agree. bebop is random as hell, an amazing series for those who might have a preconceived notion that they dislike anime. too bad there are only about 25 episodes, that's going to make reruns appear on CN every 5 weeks. not that bad, but definitely going to get old considering futurama has 72 episodes.
anyway, back on topic. you can own the dvds by purchasing piecemeal off half.com. bebop is dark and shadowy, with an odd conglomeration of characters that you can't help but love. there's a lot of the story you aren't told (some of which i still don't know) and you have to derive from the shows. this really draws you into the series. anyone know what a datadog is?:)

ouch, what an awful mistake! if you can find the DW games on ebay i definitely recommend purchasing them. or the ROMs;) by far the BEST games ever made for NES. too bad they were horribly underproduced and negligibly marketed. everything2 has some good writeups on the DW series. dragon warrior 4 rules
sadly enough, nintendo made an 8-bit game many years later that would have confused you just as much. hydlide. and everyone hated it, that is its legacy. i tried out this adventure game and i honestly don't get it either:)
SearchKing began business as an Internet search engine and web hosting company in 1997, approximately a year before Google's inception.....SearchKing is one of the pioneers in developing portal and search engine software and services.
So, if by pioneers you mean "jumped on the bandwagon during the dot-com craze rather than actually being a 'portal pioneer' like Yahoo in 1994," you are correct.
roblimo must be in london working in pounds, not dollars. the total budget for the LOTR series was around $270 mil. i'm assuming since they filmed almost the entire trilogy without interruption that each film could safely be said to cost 1/3 of the budget. so this should be from the $90,000,000-animated-epic department (if you don't believe my conversions, check for yourself)

America (the landmass) has been inhabited for several thousands of years.
"People" began arriving in America between 30,000 and 10,000 years ago via the Bering Strait.
Columbus arrived here in 1492 as (supposedly) the first European.
Virginia Dare was the first American child born of European parents in 1587.
The Declaration of Independence was finished on July 4, 1776, creating the United States of America
An interesting sorite. When did America come into existance???
Hmmmm, WB has a new show called "Birds of Prey." Boeing acknowledges existance of their new fighter "bird of prey." WB.com sayshope comes in the unlikely form of a trio of beautiful and relentless heroines, so I guess these Dawson's Creek kiddies are going to fly around in these badass jets stopping evil-doers, (just like our military, I'm starting to get the idea)

Just like Kim Pedersen. Wired did a nice story on him a few months ago and now he's started the Monorail Society.
Cool!

there are many things pills just couldn't provide for you. these things are called non-nutrients that are crucial to sustaining a healthy life.
you can support your basic functions on mountain dew (that provides water and sugars) but you'll surely pay for that in the long run.
Every sign points to one obvious culprit: a giant rat.

this guy has great instructions on how to "mod" your telescope for a webcam addition as well as documentation on how best to capture these images.
this chance comes along about once a lifetime, take advantage of it!
