I think one case of duplicate names is for Vanessa Williams. One Vanessa Williams was Miss America, but dethroned, the other Vanessa Williams was a singer or actress. Both became famous as Vanessa Williams. Or I am way off, and they are the same person. My caffiene level is low, so I'm not sure. Google didn't even help:^(
Back when I was a kid, I lived on a small farm. We had a garden that was about 5 acres. We had to water it after planting the vegetables, and a few times through the summer. Thankfully, we had our own well, which never went dry, even when the neighbor's did. The five acres of pasture and another five acres of open field never saw a sprinkler up close. Yet the grass grew very well.
So, as I said, cows can live in pastures or open grasslands with no artificial irrigation to help the grass grow. The cows themselves may need water, or they might use natural ponds and streams. Vegetables on the other hand are thirsty, and need more water to grow than grass does.
So AC, next time pull your head out of your ass before reading my post, maybe you will understand what I am saying a little better. (Must be hard trolling/. on your Palm, shoved up there.) Of course "Pastureland for cows also needs grass ", I never said they didn't. I said the grass grows there without irrigation much better than vegetables would. If a pasture needs irrigation for grass to grow, it would need more for vegetables to grow well.
I guess I didn't make my point very well, because that is what I meant. While you are smarter than a bull, you would be no match bare-handed. And it's not that you can use a cell-phone, although I would prefer a good shotgun personally. It's that humans have already invented and improved the tools we can use, so you can have that cell phone to use to defeat the bull, and also call your friends to come over for a steak dinner.
You are so right. All the cattle in Texas should be killed right now, and buried to enrich the soil enough that something other than coarse grass and sagebrush can grow there. Then divert the Mississippi to irrigate the whole area. Who cares if the Mississippi delta needs that water, we have to grow some vegetables dammit. Besides, New Orleans would probably appreciate having the river lowered about 20 feet anyway.
Yeah, right. Why do you make it sound like 50% of the CROPLAND in the US is used "to grow plants for the cow to eat"? Much of the land for cattle is pastureland or the wide open plains. It isn't necessarily feasible to convert that space to vegetable gardens. They need fertile soil, and plenty of water.
Seriously, it isn't how smart someone is. A bull would kill any of us before we could kill it in a pure environment, meaning no tools or weapons allowed. But we are smart enough to use tools to get our food, which includes guns to shoot animals that we could never kill with our bare hands. More importantly, we were able to domesticate some of those same animals, so they will walk down the path to the slaughterhouse almost on their own. That is what intelligence did for us, even for the vegetarians.
Besides, if someone says they are smarter than a chicken, I'm still not going to think to highly of their intelligence.
The statement is a very valid guess, not a wild one. It may or may not be accurate, but the plane was heading somewhere, and there would only be a few targets to aim at.
As far as how they "got lost", I think that being in a large plane that you recently hijacked, and trying to find the 'right' building to fly into, could mess up their flight plans. Not that they couldn't figure out their targets, but they only had so much time to do it in. Especially since they were trained by using MS Flight Simulator. (that last part was a joke:P ) Beside, they hit the one part of the Pentagon that was almost vacant. There were very few casualties, as compared to if they hit a different side.
Well, every so often the papers have a story about a plane from South America, or an island in the Pacific, that lands, and a dead body falls out of the wheel-well. Some people do still stowaway on a plane, but they don't always survive the journey.
Oh, good. You are the exact type of person that Animats in comment 4605782 was trying to complain about. He didn't like the fact that Mr. Davis' voters instead voted Green.
Unfortunately, he didn't say what he wanted to say.

"If Simon wins, it's going to be because some of his voters voted for the Green candidate."
Another clueless person.
If Mr. Simon wins, it's because all of his voters voted for him. All of Mr Grey Davis' voters voted for Mr. Davis. All of the Green's voters voted for the Green candidate. That is the way elections work you know. You don't have a right to voters, just because of your party, or you're the incumbant, or you think you're god's gift to the world.
That's why we conservatives look down at so many liberals like yourself. You don't have any idea what you are saying, but you are so convinced of your rightness, you can't get over yourself. Well, GET OVER YOURSELF!
PS. If Mr. Simon wins, it will not be "because some of his voters voted for the Green candidate." It may, though, be because some of the voters Mr. Davis thought were blind sheep didn't follow the herd. They used their American right to vote for a candidate they thought was the best choice. And here you go badmouthing them. Or trying to anyway.
Most of those "little R's" you point to are for the COPA, which is a dead law already. Instead look at all the congresspeople from both parties that are pushing DMCA, P2P laws, Sonny Bono Mickey Mouse Protection Act, etc. COPA is the least of your worries. Of course your biggest worry is trying to see anything with your head shoved up your ass like that. It's no wonder you are talking to much shit.
This is why no one outside of Florida ever complains about Jeb Bush right? And we never hear the non-US voices of/. complaining about President Bush, Sen Hollings, Sonny Bono, the whole US Congress, right? Because those groups of people never voted in the elections that put these politicians into office. So they never complain, oh no.
But I have never really been all that interested in any of the series on the SciFi channel. Especially since most seem to be spinoffs from movies which I usually didn't see either.
It doesn't matter to me if Stargate, MST3K, Farscape, The Invisible Man, Lexx, Earth Above and Beyond, Babylon 5, etc are ever shown in rerun, or new production. I would rather read a good scifi book than watch a scifi tv show. Especially since the acting in so many of them is dreadful, the 'aliens' are so obviously people with rubber face pieces, and the plots are both totally predictable and designed to be over in one hour (40 minutes without commercials).
Quite honestly, the only scifi shows I enjoyed were the original Star Trek reruns, Buck Rodgers, and BattleStar Galactica. And only Star Trek holds up in syndication. (Of course part of that might be that my brother and I had to stay up late to watch Star Trek as kids, so there was also the fact we were staying up late without mom and dad knowing.)
Oh, wait. Does Dark Angel count as scifi, since she was genetically designed? I enjoyed that show for the first season, since she was hot, but then the plot karma caught up to it.
What, you haven't seen the new MacGyver series. He invented this cool transportation device, that like spins around and stuff. And he can go all over the world in it. Although I think he used some binders twine to make it.
I'm sure many people can tell when certain constellations are visible. Although most folks in the cities can't see the stars anymore, so you might be right.
"driving an automobile that you built yourself from parts"
Actually, I've been wanting to do this myself for a couple years. Only don't call it an automobile. Call it a personal computer, with self-locating chassis, that can go 80mph and gets 20mpg.
Have it all built to spec, like hand-made bicycles. Computer will be installed next to the operator's seat, the bookshelf for manuals will be in the rear of the chassis, with a lockable cover over it (actually carrying manuals is optional). Seat for co-operator, and possibly mini-operators, also shall be included. But it isn't a four passanger car, no way. It's a computer damnit.
Of course it would cost a lot, but I wouldn't have to license it with the state.:^)
