  1. Economic Stimulus on White House: Use Metric If You Want, We Don't Care · · Score: 0

    Think of the economic stimulus which would result from a forced changeover. Every machinist in the country would be able to retire rich on the income from drilling out every hole in every piece of equipment which is tapped with the evil fractional inch threading and tapping it for the ever-so-pleasant and convenient integer millimeter metric Heli-Coil inserts. Metric screw and bolt makes rejoice!

  2. Global Environmental Restoration on Global Warming Dissenters Suppressed? · · Score: 1

    There seems to be an inordinate emphasis to maintain the climatologically status quo. I propose restoring the climate to its pristine condition. All of the great carbon sinks-- Oil, Coal, even Limestone were derived from natural carbon dioxide originating in the Earth's primordial atmosphere. If we continue to combust these unnatural forms of carbon compounds, we might hope to restore the atmosphere and global environment to their pristine condition of approximately 3.5 billion years ago. Barbecuers rejoice in achieving good eats through responsible Carbon Dioxide restoration.

  3. Same Ploy, Different Century. on Remarked Celerons Sold As P4s · · Score: 5, Interesting

    50 years ago Chuanghui Genuine Gold Jewelry Company was stamping "14K" into brass jewelry. The enclosed warranty assured the buyer that "any discoloration of flesh is sometimes maybe."

  4. The Real Point missed... on Making Fire From Water · · Score: 1

    Probably worth mentioning is the free but mandatory service call every 1000 hours of operation to collect the Deuterium Oxide (Heavy Water) which will accumulate due to continuous enrichment by electrolysis. Waste not want not.
