According to a recent documentary I saw, apparently the DNA of pretty much the whole race is stored in one Kryptonian. I dozed off about half-way through, but if I understand correctly, we just need to give him a call by shining a bat-shaped spot-light into the sky.

I prefer hilarity, but hey - I'm open minded. I can swing both ways. =)

If a mouse was involved, I'm calling PETA too.

I have it on very good authority that you used a keyboard, monitor, and/or tablet to modify that post. You'll be hearing from my attorney. Better call Saul.

I've actually heard that a very small amount isn't a bad idea for long-term storage of emergency water. But it just seems too weird. Like burning out a chest cold w/ cigars or flushing through a stomach virus with Drano.

Only a few hundred? Great! I'll get them delivered. Just set up a small box down-town with a charging socket on a post and a sign that says, "Free for the first 2 months - Leaf and Volt owners only!" That way my delivery people know that they're bringing you the wire for free. They'll drive the wire to your collection station and attach them to let you know they're ready to be harvested. I'll throw in some batteries too if you're willing to invest in a pry-bar.

As far as the delivery of the cow... I'm willing to take it piece-by-piece as long as the remaining balance stays refrigerated.

Seriously though, my state has quite a few trees, but driving out to them kind of defeats the purpose of going "green". It's more recreational. Planting them close-by is just unfeasible. A potted cactus maybe, but certainly not a proper tree.

That said, it kind of sucks, but it's free so feel free to improve it and give it some functionality should you see fit.

Finding a place to pull over doesn't necessarily mean the side of the freeway. And, from my experience in CA having lived in the Bay Area for ~6 years, I'd feel safer walking through Oakland wearing a KKK robe/hood than sitting at the side of the freeway. Thank the gods for BART.

Have you checked the price of tree-worthy ground lately? Or materials to provide nutrients and hydration to said ground? I started digging a nursery on Broadway, but the local traffickers got all bent out of shape. Do you have a cow? Because I have a pocket full of very young trees I'd like to trade you.

Maybe so, but do you blend bleach into all of your drinking water?

We can never let that happen. As a member of PETP, I demand to know whether the trees were properly anesthetized prior to being bled alive, used without consent as subjects for scientific testing, and mutilated. If these trees were young, were their parents consulted? Color me outraged.

I don't know about state laws, but you'd better be "hands-free" in Santa Fe. Personally, I find someplace to pull over should I need to talk because I find myself distracted but am safer looking at a GPS-focused map than craning my neck to figure where the hell I'm going. My wife's just the opposite - She talks on the phone just fine while driving, but looking at a GPS unit could endanger herself and others.

Agree 100%. Should a plethora of programming courses be required? No. Should they be available? Hell yes.

Oops - It didn't like the brackets around stdio.h or math.h. Oh, well - You get it.
