I see people with babies in their grocery carts, but I've never seen any on the shelves. I think you have to ask for them. That's where Marge got Maggie.

No wonder Maggie is so much smarter than her dad.

As focused as a laser beam.

Well, that first one will certainly be quite a shock when you answer the doorbell :-O

Well, to raise that little bugger to the age of 17 will cost the parents about $193,344.67. Of course there are tax savings to consider too.

Actually, they'll believe anything printed shoved in front of their noses and never bother to conduct even the slightest bit of independent research.

Oh good, then you will debunk the strange facts for us, thank you.

i wish jwenting would stop making up BS about a country he doesn't live in. I think if you do live here, you shouldn't make stupid senseless comments about any candidate in this post.

Looks like AD already straightened him out!

Something I've wondered for a while now:
Why is this thread not in Posting Games?

Hunger is not game.

Just eating a make shift pizza made on a piece of toast.

people who talk crap about america and don't live here.

You must be talking about jwentig?

That annoys me too!

How much do they charge for delivery?

Info (06/19/2007) from:
http://tinacassidy.blogspot.com/2007/06/cost-of-giving-birth.html

Nationally, a vaginal delivery cost $7,737, with C-sections averaging about $11,000.

Peanuts are an ingredient of dynamite

I will be more careful the next time I bite into a peanut.

The Eisenhower (US) interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.

A city car can be driven with compressed air for a distance of about 100 miles. Compressed air can be supplied by stations using electricty from nuclear power plants. The problem is that compressing air generates heat that needs to be used to heat homes, industry or green houses to be usefull rather than waste.

As the car drives it exhausts cold air.

Wow, compressed air instead of a battery to store the energy to move a small car. I assume the pressure cylinders are a part of the car's structure then. Could be a sturdy little car that would stand up to one of those klutzy SUVs.

Actually I found this on google, might be interesting for our Indian friends:

James Doohan, who played Lt. Commander Montgomery Scott (Scotty) on Star Trek,
is missing the entire middle finger of his right hand.

The airplane Buddy Holly died in was the "American Pie." Thus the name of the Don McLean song.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:

Spades --> King David
Clubs --> Alexander the Great
Hearts --> Charlemagne
Diamonds --> Julius Caesar

A couple of years ago, six toilets were stolen from the Richmond Police Department.
Police were mystified and said that they had nothing to go on.

Hot dog soup.

Is this where you boil some hot dogs in a pan of water and then pass the water on as soup? Used to be a poor folks term.

I won't if they nominate a RINO. But I won't go so far as to vote socialist.

Hey Sin, I am with you there! Snee

I wish more DaniWebbers would be voting.

There are givers and there are takers. Unfortunately, the takers seem to win.

Even a bad student can be motivated by a good teacher.

Exerps from Harry Potter (book/movie):

Now that Harry's done me, it's time for me to do you.

I've got an unbeatable wand, come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.

Wands are only as powerful as the wizards who use them. Some wizards just like to boast that theirs are bigger and better than other people's

It's no wonder I can't get it out, Hermione, you packed my old jeans, they're tight

I followed it behind the shed and then it ... well it went inside me!

My wand acted of its own accord!

Your wand performed something unique that night ...

You'd be surprised, it's not all about wandwork, either.

I'm coming, Harry, I'm coming!

Rumor has it that they come from the local hospital.

Hey I was watching this thing on NatGeo about this magnetic train system they're building in Europe that China ordered. Didn't finish watching it (fell asleep) but it seemed pretty cool

Yeah, there is one of those running in Shanghai, connecting downtown with the airport at about one half airplane speeds. Not quite sure if I should call this a railroad or and air_road. I think it can do the 30 mile run in about 7 minutes.

Considering what we have in the White House now, I like to see a candidate that can say, "I made a mistake, I will do better next."

A grilled cheese sandwich.

i wish i was eating a grilled cheese sandwich, but i'm not.

maybe i should start a new thread.

What do you wish you were eating right now.

Come on, a grilled cheese sandwich is an easy thing to make. Well, you need a stove and a pan.

My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.

the true electric cars tend to charge from coal fired power stations, producing more co2 than gasoline does.

I think the idea is to charge those from nuclear power stations over the long term. You are right, present batteries are not good enough. Something to put bright minds on then.

Presently diesels spew out cancer causing soot. Another thing that can be engineered to a minumum.

Al Queda is bad...

You are very mellow! They are a lot worse than just bad! I would replace bad with evil and murderous.

To see the forest you got to get out from between the trees.

I'll have some microwave chicken later.

I have eaten microwaved (nuked) dinners, some of them are pretty good, particularly when it's just for you and you are in a hurry.

When I am in hurry, I just nuke something like "Michelina's Budget Gourmet Zitti Parmesano", add a little extra cheese, and call it an Italian meal. I would not dare serving something like that to my GF.

In Snee's scenario the US will not nuke Pakistan, but Pakistan desperados will fire off some nuke tipped missiles into India before they are captured by US conventional forces. The destruction in India would be huge and India will retaliate massively.

Thanks, you are correct. Just that exchange alone would put US soldiers into harms way. On top of that China would face a large radioactive fall out. All hell breaks loose could be an understatement.

Transportation uses a lot of energy, so when you talk about alternate energy then alternate transportation becomes an important issue.

What forms of transportation would you consider in your situation to minimize energy consumption?

Would it be a petrol saving minicar?

Just in the news, Tata, an Indian carmaker just introduced the Nano, a minicar. The Nano is scheduled to sell in Europe for 1700 Euro ($2,500). The Nano seats five passengers, has four doors and has a 33HP motor. It is safety engineered.

How about a hybrid car or a fully electric car? The expensive battery is the soft spot here. Also, the cost of electricity has to come way down for the fully electric car.

How about a watercraft? Did you know that it takes the QE2 luxury liner one gallon of diesel to move 6 inches?

Railroads, buses, aircraft, zeppelins, rockets, "beam me up Scotty", whatever, feel free to contribute and make us think.

The IRA is bad...

Everybody tells me that Republicans don't have a sense of humor. If you are a Republican, here is your chance to disprove this offending assumption.

I am a Republican, and I can't think of anything related to humor, but I am working on it.

To be realistic, more like a bell shaped curve with the "don't give a hoot" folks in the middle.

There are thousands of miscarriages every day. In most case the fetus is flushed down the toilet and does not receive proper burial. Should the woman involved be investigated by the police for potential murder?

Also, should the fetus be a tax deduction?

lol

i was born in 1990, werent even concieved then

Whatever you did in 1982, you would have to make sure it wouldn't somehow influence your parents not to have children.

I would create an easy to read syntax programming language and make tens of Dollars.

Babies come from an egg in mommy's belly. I stopped eating eggs right then and there.

Things get hot in Pakistan, the islamists take over. The US is panic-stricken and attacks to neutralize the nuclear weapons. The islamists within the Pakistan army manage to get off a few nukes into India in desparation.

India retaliates with nukes, accidentally killing a score of US soldiers fighting there. Then all hell breaks loose.

Like it or not Ezzaral, most people couldn't care less about a guy's (or gal's) colour of skin as long as (s)he makes the right sounds and moves.
Of course that statement excludes John Edwards and Shrillary Clintoon which are not humans at all.
Shrillary should also be excluded on the ground that it's already served 2 terms as president, using its husband Billy "suck it hard, Monica" Clintoon as its cover.

I find your comments and misspelling disgusting and childish at best. Forum rules tell you too to keep it pleasant! Ask Dani.

Damn liberals. :D

Forum rules dictate to keep it pleasant, Dave!

yah, Condi for President! :P

She can dance and play the piano. Not all at the same time though.

He claimed it was social responsibility to provide something for others to use for free, hence the answer that he was seeking communism/socialism and should move to such a society if those were his expectations.

No one has a social responsibility to give you free stuff, Sturm. Your sense of entitlement is severely misplaced. When you start working for free then you can come back and explain social responsibility to us.

Sturm might have the strange notion that we have a social responsibilty to feed the hungry. He could be called an "Antiscrooge".

The casinos in Vegas give out plenty of free alcohol, so it may have been that, rather than the long travel excuse. Of course, I have heard lecturers too that have had more than one drink. I also have heard lecturers that would have forced the audience to get a drink.

People that go to the bar with you and spoil any fun by giving a prohibitionist lecture.

Let's harvest all the hot air generated by the treehuggers and use that (after filtration of course) for heating.
Gets rid of 2 problems at once: no more gas needed for heating and the greens are muzzled so we don't have to listen to them anymore.

I assume that this cheap remark is supposed to be funny?

Russia is rapidly moving back towards communism under Putin. Hardly surprising, as Putin was head of the KGB and is a hardliner communist.

China is communist to the core. They have some "free zones" set up to trade with the real world, but the rest of the country is run as ruthlessly as it was under Mao.
All those cheap "made in China" goods are so cheap because of slave labour. If they need a new workforce they just arrest a few hundred more political opponents and lock them in a work camp.

Good grief, are you sure of this?

>>It's called social responsibility.
Only by your socialist or communist/marxist definition. We live in a capatilist society, if you don't like it then move to Russia, Cuba or any one of a thousand other places like that.

What does that have to do with piracy?

Asking people to move to another country is like saying:
"If there is piracy in this country, why dont you move to a place that has no piracy"

Sounds pretty silly.

People that snore in the lecture room.

Maybe if the lecture would be more interesting, there wouldn't be any snoring. Drop a book on the desk every now and then.

I don't like long winded sermons that have little content. Makes me snore in church.
