A good welder is worth his wieght in gold... Having been a plumber for a number of years, you can make a pile of money in trades, because at some point in your life you will be presented with the situation that you will need somebody in the middle of the night to come to you to fix something. And that individual will cost hundreds of dollars an hour. And you will pay the bill gladly.

I completely agree. I AM partial to "Gozar The Key Master", but hey, whatever. Now, on to more pressing matters: The Pope Mobile. I'm thinking more of a Rocket Powered, Monkey Driven, Batmobile type vehicle... alright fine, and it's white. But the monkey is drunk.

Shampoo in the eyeball is no laughing matter... The water thing never made sense to me though, all that needs to be done is to have the passenger drink some. If they pass out- Ha, pioson. If not, carry on good citizen. Until next time...

When they decide the U.S. Drone Strike Information Center will be based in Kentucky. Maybe put another one in Utah. Then spread those Drone manufacturing and ordinance plants around.

We don't need a man on the moon. We need Mankind on the moon. Specifically to mine HE3 and to be used as a launch site. I think that would be pretty cool.

You think some armchair-pilot cares, that's cute. It's not like he/she is sitting in the cockpit. The reason why these are cheap is beacause the human element has been taken out (to train a pilot is around $2M last time I checked, and it's been a decade.) So yeah, they're gonna crash more than manned flights. Who cares? You want the pilot to care? Sitting his/her ass in a manned jet is the only sure way to make that happen, and yes, that's expensive. It's easier/cheaper to train a mechanic to unbox another drone and screw the wings on...

gordona writes "Perhaps free energy or nearly free is on the way. A PhD student at the University of Delaware had demonstrated how that free hydrogen gas can be generated with sunlight, zinc oxide, and water. A chamber that holds the zinc oxide is heated by concentrating sunlight to 3500 degrees Fahrenheit which vaporizes the zinc. The zinc vapor can then be put into water which then reacts to form zinc oxide releasing hydrogen. It isn't stated how the zinc vapor is separated from the oxygen that is generated however and its not clear if the process is scalable."

My kid takes "computer science" classes in middle school. What they TEACH is typing... I think where ever the "bar" is, it's not even relevent anymore. Unless it's that one on the corner with the kick ass happy hour. That one rocks.
