Contrary to popular belief living humans can not communicate with the dead, either now or sometime in the future. There is no such thing as a ghost. Why? Probably because Heaven does not contain people in human form. After I'm dead I'll try to post something here to let you all know more about it :)

If you buy your ticket to heaven from me, I will throw in super communications option, entrance through first class pearly gate, and one free toaster.

I still think it's the Antichrist that causes the end of the world as we know it! Remember, the Antichrist could be female.

Burned toast with bottled water.

Thanks for pointing this out! I reallize I would have competition! Most likely need different angle, maybe deluxe package with guarantee to enter through the first class pearly gate.

I might even throw in free toaster! The 700 Club does not do that, it only gives out tax deduction!

C# is a slap at Sun's Java, and like Java is Object Oriented. If you want one language that handles procedural and OO, you could take a quick look at Python or Ruby scripting.

Which means that any hydrogen taken out of the air will reduce that percent. Any leaks will likely dissipate and not cause any problems or explosions.

Hydrogen is not sourced from the air, it is generated from water. It takes a large amount of energy to generate hydrogen from water. If you are good at it, you can recover about 30% of the energy spent, by using/burning the generated hydrogen back to water to drive your hydrogen car. The other 70% of the energy is lost as heat. How is that for global warming?

Sorry, I was wrong, it takes at least 4% hydrogen by volume in air to make it explosive. Very easy to obtain in a closed up garage.

Empty pockets will hold back a pickpocket.

"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on,
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on."

Thanks GrimJack, I was quoting from that!

Makes you wonder why the Weather Channel is pushng that "Global Warming" scare every chance they get.

especially since what Americans call a "liberal", Europeans call a socialist.
The term "conservative" was coined by the left to make rightthinking people look like a bunch of stone age idiots who can't stand "progress". The left call themselves "progressive"...
In reality it's the left that can't stand progress, or rather they want change for the sake of change and only towards goals that have been shown time and again to lead to disaster (world communism, socialised healthcare, massive government, skyhigh taxes, total government control over everyday life, nationalisation of industry, etc. etc.).

... add to this wars, wars, endless wars. That alone makes many rich people. People in charge of things like Halliburton, Blackwater, Boeing, etc. etc etc.

I agree, bottled water is handy when you are on the road. Some communities have switched from chlorination to ozonation to get rid of that awful bleach taste.

You could always dump it after the oil is gone!

>You cannot get citizenship, if you entered the country illegally!

yeah you can. it just takes forever.

That is your opinion, not the truth!

...
Mexico lost Texas fair and square in a military defeat.
...

Does that mean the US can keep Iraq?

That's why the democrats want the illegals to stay in American and become citizens... so they will have more people who will vote for them.

You cannot get citizenship, if you entered the country illegally!

There is no such thing as pretty 39 year old woman! At that age beauty has become worn, wrinkly and baggy! Poor boy may be scared and scarred for life!

If you buy your bottled water in plastic bottles, expect one fair amount of chemical contamination! Even glass bottles have been found to be contaminated with benzene (does cause cancer) from the bottle's plastic cap seal.

I like the idea of space being infinitly smaller and not just larger. This means fleas can have fleas too!

This concept could give us much more memory per given space.

Clinton was president for 8 years. It took another 2 to flush most of his appointees out of important offices and start bending his disaster policies around...
Some might argue that a lot of those policies are still in place to this day due to bureaucratic inertia.

Conversely it would have taken Clinton 2 years to flush out Bush Sr. appointees and to bend his disaster policies around ...

I will agree that republicans have used illegals as cheap resources. However, it is the democrats that want them here purely for political reasons.. to create a new voters class who will vote democratically.

I understand that illegal immigrants in the US cannot vote in elections. The Democrats must be pretty stupid to get voters that way!

Old idea... haven't you ever heard of revivals? 700 Club? ANY televangelist?

Thanks for pointing this out! I reallize I would have competition! Most likely need different angle, maybe deluxe package with guarantee to enter through the first class pearly gate.

I wonder why bumsfeld seems to think only "rich" people vote "conservative" (by which he probably means Republican, when most of the richest people in the world are hardline communists (many of whom got that rich by stealing from everyone else).

Just give us couple of actual names of those supper rich pinkos!

My definition of Republican is guy driving large pickup truck with couple of guns displayed in the back window. Conservative is something much more noble!

Maybe I should start selling tickets to heaven. I think there are enough fools who would buy one.

I hope no one is thinking about storing hydrogen gas under high pressure in the cars of the future. Hydrogen, being the smallest molecule, has propensity to leak and even small concentrations (1 - 2%) in air are highly explosive and easily ignitable. Kaboom, there goes the neighborhood!

Limburger cheese and boiled solanum tuberosum (new harvest).

I really think this sort of gossip does not belong here!

Rome was not built in one day.

Slowly closing in an half a star!

Just don't read my stuff und you will stay smart!

Thanks for letting me know! I was worried there for one moment!

Not in Saudi Arabia.

Lardmeister, do you have an answer to everything? The Saudis and their royal family are our best friends!

I'm not the one who came up with those numbers. And from what I've seen, the really rich, as you've just described, tend to be democrats...at least going by historical donations to the two parties.

I think you are right, it's more the guy that owns one large pickup truck, one Bible and couple of guns, that is a true republican.

That Really good smell that you get after cutting your lawn is also methane gas. Infact in melbourne on a saturday when everyone would cut their lawn scientists were actually seeing a significant rise in the amount of methane gas over melbourne.

Is that from the grass or from the people cutting it?

Uhhh, okay give me the punchline. What do you call a Taliban style government?

You really think that our special ops would be able to effectively swoop into Pakistan, destroy their nukes, and get the hell out without massive casualties? Now, you do recall this little incident back in the early 90's where we went into this little hellhole called Somalia and had our asses handed to us, correct?

Well, Pakistan would be worse. My prediction is, if the Taliban does take the country, which is very well possible, that you will see the US use tactical nukes against the nuclear missile sites.

One could call it "Moral Majority".

US use tactical nukes against the nuclear missile sites? I am sure the folks in India and China would love to be downwind from the fallout of such an adventure.

Lardmeister, thanks for some real definitions of "rich"! It's funny to see people vote conservative just because they think they are rich making $80,000 per year!

My definition of rich is to be able to buy one yacht, one fancy Mercedes car and one $16,000 umbrella stand with your lose pocket change. This may be eaqual to your hourly income.

I am eating Gouda cheese slices and soda crackers with my afternoon wine.

BTW, I love my beef one little rare, touch of pink in the middle.

Imagine, the end of WW1 is also the start of Carnival! Death, followed by joy! I got to go and drink one glass of wine to that!

Almost forgot, happy birthday Dani!

This earth has close to 500,000,000 cattle or similar creatures roaming around, each of these ruminants contributes an estimated 400 liters of methane gas per day. So do your calculations. Methane is considered about 10 times worse in its greenhouse effect than CO2.

Yes, there has been a rather small increase in measured atmospheric CO2. Another thought, CO2 is rather water soluble and the immense amount of water in the oceans is by no means saturated. So the small increase in atmospheric CO2 should scrub out with rainfall into ocean waters in relatively short time. This would make any long term predictions worthless.

Actually, methane is much more significant to global warming, and isn't as easily removed. Living organisms contribute a large amount of this gas.

no, the French are hot air generators, not nuclear powerplants.

What are they feeding you in tiny Netherlands? Fermented tulip bulbs again?

There's no evidence of a crash NEAR the Pentagon because the darn jet landed right on top of the place...

Not on top, the side of it.

He also used poison gas when he invaded Iran. I read that precursers were then supplied by the US. Somebody wasn't very honest here!

You may want to look further in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Iraq_War
It states Sadam's use of mustard gas and sarin nerve gas against Iran. Serin nerve gas is complex chemical and was made from intermediates supplied to Iraq by Dow Chemical, with state department approval, officially for use in pesticides. I guess you could consider the Iranians pests.

That which does not kill me, makes me stronger.

Something for drunk drivers to remember after the accident.

The only thing that bothers me, did Osama know that the towers would collapse so easily?

So why aren't there huge amounts of these cheaply fueled nuclear powerplants around?

There are, just take a look at France.

She could be the first woman president of the United States.

Whatever does not fit into your neurons will go into your soul.

I wanted to add that a person's soul is formed from memories. Just my romantic notion.

Camembert cheese, crackers and a glass of red Burgundy.

The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.

I think this actually refers to Israel. They were conquered by the Romans and left for dead. Now they are one of the smartest and strongest countries on earth.

To admire woman for her beauty is different from staring at her like some pervert stalker!
