OK then. How many atoms are in a square mile? How many miles wide is the universe? How many miles high? How many miles deep? It is just ridiculous to think that you have any clue of these dimensions and can therefore make a good estimate. The fact that some morons have PHDs from Harvard, MIT, etc. and then think they miraculously know these things causes many people to believe them - but not me!
This exact same thing applies to evolutionary concepts. Some scientists finds a bone, uses carbon dating, and then magically reports that this was an ape-man whoe evolved from a lizard-cat and began using iron tools to grind gecko meat. Bleh!
I totally agree. I personally do not believe in evolution but I don't care about arguing about that right now because people who do believe in it just think us religious zealots of some sort and are rarely convinced. However, I find it humorous when these "scientists" pull these huge numbers out of thin air and expect us to believe them as fact. How the heck would they know the number of years ago that 'x' happened...
On a related note, I read somewhere that it would be impossible to write out the number googol because their aren't enough atoms in the universe (here). Uhuh. As if some crazy scientists started counting the atoms and figured out how many their were...
I am not trying to say that the Suburban is a bad vehicle or that one should avoid them at all. I just mean that it uses a lot of gas and many people think of them that way. By no means is it the worst vehicle in regards to fuel economy, but I would consider it infamous in the regard that most people would think of "huge gas guzzler" when they here the term Suburban.
In fact, we own a 1996 GMC Suburban, it is a great vehicle!

What if you accidentally run over the CAT5 with your mower!?

heh sorry i meant to say googolplex (10^googol) not googol. now try typing it :)

Heh... good to see GM working on new products. Kind of strange coming from the makers of the infamous Suburban :)
