As the OLPC project well demonstrated, giving laptops to children only results in them surfing more porn then they did before. So this is really more of a "sex ed" project then anything...whether they want to admit it or not.
"than". AAAARRRGGGHHH!
The strange punctuation and the misuse of then/than on the topic of education amuses me. I do like the
Well the Egyptian Pound uses the £ sign as well, so qualifying GBP seems reasonable.
From the article
"
the Chernobyl nuclear accident led to more than one hundred times the nuclear fallout of what was experienced during the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
"
Fucking retards
You make a flawed argument. It may well be that the nuclear fallout was 100 times worse, but Chernobyl was not a bomb. It did not kill ~150000 people outright _and_ also have lasting effects. Lots of people died as a result of Chernobyl, but nowhere near the scale of the two atomic bombings on Japan.
The vikings in Greenland considered eating fish taboo. They died pure.
What? The Norse in Greenland went from a 20% fish diet during the medieval warming period to 80% fish towards the the beginning of the little ice-age before the population collapse. As with many things there wasn't one clear reason. Deforestation, soil erosion, over grazing and a few harsh winters in a row seem to have been the culprits.

Black holes: nature's ultimate shredder.
Unfortunately that's still subject to a man-in-the-middle attack.
Do you really want to live with the thought that maybe in 3 million years time some aliens will come to Earth, seek out your descendants and taunt them mercilessly about your collection of goat pr0n?
Think of your great great
What gets me is:
"The president [USA] earns a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 non-taxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment."
And:
"At present the Prime Minister [UK] receives £127,334 in addition to a salary of £60,277 as a Member of Parliament."
Compared to:
"Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman was the highest paid CEO in 2008, taking home $702,440,573 in salary and stock options. Schwarzman will receive the other 75% of his $4.7 billion equity grant from the IPO in equal installments over the next four years."
Question:
Are we paying the leaders of two of the largest/most influential countries in the world too much, or too little?

Try their apple cider sometime and ask for extra caramel drizzle. It really is delicious.
Where I'm from Cider is an alcoholic drink made from fermented apples. The thought of adding "caramel drizzle" to it will give me nightmares I'm sure!
Thank you for this. It's true the early stages were cagey to say the least. You have to remember that everyone was only just recovering from WWI at this time. It is with sorrow that we (British) didn't step in sooner but no one really knew how far and how hard Hitler was willing to push things. The hope for diplomacy was held out until almost too late. I think most of Europe hoped that Germany would just annex Poland (sorry) and that would be that. Wish you hadn't posted AC as you should be modded up.
What? Never been to a Motörhead gig? Sorry, can't hear you. What was that you said?
