C-3PO: My God, you shoot small animals for fun? That's the first indicator of a serial killer, you freak!
Luke: There's two suns and no women! What the hell am I supposed to do?!

they're still in the crystal eye of the floating skull of the demi-lich.

jesus, i can't believe i still remember that.

this is a slightly puzzling summary.

exactly! a few billion years ago the planet was a super-hot ball of molten rock. therefore it's been way hotter in the past.

Being able to determine the relative abundance of fish species in a body of water is the next step in possibly using modern DNA identification techniques to census fish in the open ocean

"the machine says that by far the pacific is full of a fish called...poly vinyl chloride. hm, that's a funny name."

yes and no. methane is pretty short lived in the atmosphere because in areas with sufficient sunlight and water vapor, hydroxyl radicals are created which help break down methane into CO2.

of course, in areas like the poles where there's little water vapor and less solar insolation, methane tends to last a great deal longer. this is one of the reasons the north polar region is warming faster than any other place.

so they're sharing their own papers. well, why didn't the story mention that?

the authors are trying to do what now? it isn't clear at all.

and the actual fuel cell is a 'simple canister'? you think special materials are only required in the H2 tank?

special materials are expensive in the short run until they're manufactured.

The main difference is electric cars need expensive batteries.

doesn't the first statement also apply to batteries? if manufacturing will bring down the prices of more expensive and exotic materials needed in a H2 fuel cell, wouldn't it also make batteries less expensive?

pfft. wesley willis has been really whipping the llama's ass in heaven for the last decade. same with horses, tigers, ponies, you name it.

not really. the original assertion that the left's answer to every problem is 'more government control' is idiotic. there are plenty of issues where the liberal/progressive response is to decrease government interference. i know of no leftists who only ever advocate more government power. that's a strawman.

actually they bugged the US embassy. which is US territory, not brazil's.

so brazil spied on us citizens within the us. ehrmagerd!

in this new article, did he reiterate his belief that leakers should be 'shot in the balls'?

if there was a loss that big, then it's a major storm. you can't point to its second largest cost in US history and call it 'minor'. storms are much more than merely the measure of their top wind speed.

besides, at one point she had a windfield of roughly 1200 miles, the largest in atlantic basin history. right before landfall the total energy in her tropical storm-force windfield was higher than in any atlantic storm in the last 40 years+. that's a big fuckin' deal.

come on. it was clearly a major storm.
