Yea, isn't that called The Chicken Run?

I agree with all you say, EXCEPT "Stable 'empires' existed way before the Europeans came". In Southern Africa the Xhosa fled south, the Swazi north, the Matebeli even further north, over the Limpopo...all to escape Shaka. In the rest of Africa the murder, rape and plunder is what drove the Zulu (and ultimately Shaka) down here in the first place! Ethiopia was never colonised, is it a stable 'empire'?

That's bullshit and you know it....or you don't live here.

I too am South African and have two questions: How come porn is available over the counter in printed form but they want to ban it on the internet? How much is made in taxes on the sale of porn mags and how much on internet porn?

Why does it's left hand stay at the same place? Why doesn't it play a tune that requires pressing strings further up the neck of the violin? This is the violin version of 'chopsticks!'

Let's have a competition. Private people (no tech businesses allowed). We send in pics and find the S.T.A.S.H (Super Tech.Appliance Squirrel Hoarder). I start with a GARAGE full of bits and pieces, starting with a Heathkit CPU (circ. 1980), thru ZX Spectrums, Radioshack TRS. 80's, Commodore VIC 20 and 64's etc, etc. Beat that small fry! The wife will be happy that SOMETHING came of it all!

You all forget one eenzy weenzy fact. It takes 6 units of plant protein for US to make 1 unit of meat protein (in our body-mass) too! So when we eat steak, we are getting concentrated protein, or we'd have to eat a LOT of bran which also takes a lot of energy to grow, be processed, packaged, bought, delived and eaten.

A double-wammy win! That's it! In order to make the cow walk it will have to be fed (kinda carrot on a stick) this would mean the food will have to be brought to it. Much too much energy waste there. So places where this MUST BE DONE ANYWAY, like in winter, these treadmills might just work. Even to offset the cost of warming them, or maybe the walking will make them warm themselves. A double-wammy win!

How do they breathe and receive food? even the cells of our bodies need circulated blood in vessels to receive oxygen and food. How would they do it if the weren't attached with vessels in between?

Thank heavens! Someone who sees sense and knows what he's talking about! What almost all don't realise is that you are only thinking of one thing at a time. If a high-speed photo were taken of a musician's brain it would be seen to be, for that moment, concentrating on ONE thing. But alternating between the tasks at light speed. Like a CPU. They are saying that we are like two CPU's RUNNING IN PARALELL. Geditt?

Most are missing the point entirely. A computer can only do ONE THING. The on/off or hi/lo thing. But it can do it very quickly. The research says we can do TWO things AT THE SAME TIME! Like two processors running in parallel. Geddit?

When the meanings of words change for most of the population there is a danger because people ASSUME you mean alien craft, not a possible plastic packet, when using'UFO'. As with the 'organic vegetable' craze. ALL vegetables are organic, and any farmer can sell them as such. Whether they are organically GROWN is another matter entirely!

Yes but won't the sunlight reflected back heat the atmosphere AGAIN? On it's downward route, then off the Bubbles (heating them as well), then re-heating the atmosphere again. What the 'ex-spurts' don't realise is that the sunlight entering our atmosphere will dissipate it's heat one way or the other, if one does not reflect it all the way out of the atmosphere, back into space!

Why is it that 'Ex-Spurts' are so narrow minded? The Christmas Tsunami was the result of volcanic activity in the Indian Ocean. The Himalayas are fold-mountains caused by India moving North and China having non of it. The epicentre of the Chilean Quake rose more than a meter (3 feet) in a matter of seconds. What goes up can come down. Even a sandbar island.
