Why on earth would anyone want to help pay down those ass-holes debt?

Who needs bombs, Just climb to max altitude and do a nose dive from 50,000ft.

Listen, if you think you can represent yourself in court, your probably not a real journalist.

I would think that would make one bald.

Jurisdiction, The GPS Tracker can follow you to Mexico, The Police tail probably can't.

Also, an officer can't tell if you are out of town, staying at a friends house, or just parked in the garage.

So you're obviously a non-biased source.</quote>

So who am I to believe, The guy who spent 10 years getting his masters, or the guy who just spent 2 hours watching a movie?

It really is basic Geology, Ask someone from the USGS if you really want an unbias source. Seriously give them a call.

For example, The Marcellus Shale, ranges from a depth of 3000-7000 feet. The thing is Freshwater usually only goes down a few hundred feet. According to the DNCR the brine freshwater contact ranges from 200-1000 feet. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/topogeo/education/es3.pdf.

So You would at the very least need a 2000ft fault, But in more realistic cases you'd have to have a migration path of about 4000-5000ft.

What's scary is more along the lines of the drilling company fucking up and not casing the well right or something and the gas traveling up the well bore and into the water table. Of course this would be a major fuck up(Think Macondo).

I think the windows key > search for a program > click is fairly intuitive though, a major improvement on the Windows key + R approach I used in the past.

Would you prefer it texas style, where we there are no ballot measures?

Tunguska had about 500 times the kinetic energy of an impact this would have.

Did you even read the wiki page you linked?

"A stony meteoroid of about 10 metres (30 ft) in diameter can produce an explosion of around 20 kilotons, similar to that of the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki, and data released by the U.S. Air Force's Defense Support Program indicate that such explosions occur high in the upper atmosphere more than once a year. Tunguska-like megaton-range events are much rarer. Eugene Shoemaker estimated that such events occur about once every 300 years.[29][30]"

um... It's only 10M wide. Even if it hit, who cares, The amount of damage is likely to be about on the scale of replacing a barn or two.

Not on Mah Lake

Dumb Question time:

Would a real controlled fission reaction work or mars? How about the moon?

Your not the new one.... someone needs to tell Soulskill the obligatory XKCD belongs in the comments not the summary.

Jeez, taco's gone for one day and posters start slacking.
