It very well may be true, but what point would there be for the Wildlife Conservation Society if wildlife was not in need of conservation? I couldn't get to the site, but it would be interesting to see their definition of land being in use. Aren't huge portions of the 2 biggest countries on earth, Canada and Russia, barren?
The concpet is pretty damn cool, and simple to boot. Elegant solutions always seem so obvious once someone smart come up with them first.
How big of a problem is this with Credit cards though? Don't the problems normally arise when a card is stolen, or accuired under false pretenses? Not that there aren't other applications for it, just the one they gave seems a little weak.
It seemed to me that he was just on a mission to prove that Egyptians really built the pyramids, and he was going to draw that conclusion no matter what they found. "Don't look at the skeleton. Look at the lid. Those are FINGERPRINTS! Gasp!" Is there really that big of a following for the "aliens built the pryamids" theory?
Also, couldn't they have had several researchers there so he didn't have to run back and forth between the two sites? Or is his ego just to big to allow that?
It's performance art. Just try to look superior when you are saying that. It helps if you are wearing all black (but if you had a change of clothes I guess you wouldn't have this problem, huh).
