The news reports that after Mike's fifth interception of the first half, he screamed at the coaches to get some "Real f-n recievers in here"...

It's nutjobs like this guy who make it difficult for actual scientists to get thier point across to the masses without being laughed at. Fact is, we don't know how much humans have affected the natural climate change for the reasons Dan pointed out: we haven't been collecting the data on it long enough to really know. What cannot be disputed is that CO2 does absorb infrared raditation and will cause a warming affect. Yes, volcanic eruptions do in fact put large amounts of particulates and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the thing, is, they don't happen on a constant basis, as is the case with the byproducts of combustion. The other fact that has not been mentioned here, that concerns me much more than rising sea levels in and of themselves is the effect that all that freshwater will have on global climate and thermohaline circulation in the worlds oceans. All that water doesn't just slosh around, there are actual currents and patterns in effect, which directly drive weather on Earth. Bottom line is that we just don't know how much we are affecting climate change. We haven't been doing it long enough to say for sure. Either way, we have to find other ways to supply energy to our masses eventually. Peak Oil will take care of the problem eventually...

no can do. Don't watch most of that dreck...

mearly pointing out that we're getting to the point where we might just be heading in that direction...

hmmm. I don't know, maybe NOT wear them the one day you have to go through a metal detector? I wouldn't have (not that I have them, I had a girlfriend with them once), I would have removed them so not to be embarrassed by a similar event. Christ, what if you had a Prince Albert???

About the only thing I'm actually surprised about is that we haven't figured out how to make shows like "the Running Man" and others in that book (treadmill to dollars) a reality yet. Won't be long by the look of some of that repugnant dreck...

Great movie quote there by the way. The only thing I dislike about Tiger is how he throws his clubs around and acts like a kid when he messes up a shot. To be honest, I do that on occation as well, but most of his "bad" shots would be playable for a player of my caliber...

You'd be better off watching your house burn down. That's about how fun it is to watch the Sabres play this year... But to answer your question, all the sites that I used last year have been shutdown, so I can't really help...

Like I said, it will scare you to death. I don't think it's going to be that bad, but there will be many changes ahead...

Right and create massive shortages which will cause even more bitching. You can't have it both ways. You cannot have a free market economy for some things and not others. Besides, state and federal governments make tens of times more per gallon than Shell or Exxon does...

Just got the Library of America's edition on Philip K Dick, 4 novels of the 1960's: The Man in the High Castle The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Ubik Fantastic stuff...

Want to scare yourself silly? Read up about Peak Oil. Fact is, we are highly dependant on "cheap oil". Our entire economy and lifestyles are based on it, and without it, say goodbye to rampant consumerism and the spread of suburbia. OTOH, I fully believe in the ingenuity of humans to come up with alternatives which will make the transitionary phases easier to bear, but things will be much different in your grandchildren's time than now...

I wouldn't bother Scott. Those posters who have more than a few thousand posts will just do double time posting to catch back up anyway...

They need LOTS of excersise and thier fine. If you don't walk them or give them a job to do (like chasing squirrels or something) they'll drive you nuts...

2 Jack russell terriers Braxton - 8.5 year-old male rough coat Rascal - 3 year-old broken coat from the rescue. They are awesome dogs!

OH NO! We have lost a GIANT in Science Fiction. An actual legend has left us. This is a dark day...

Yeah, I enjoy those type of stories, and Turtledove is one of the masters. Guns of the South is good as well...

Probably not. They would still have had thier QB. I think the biggest reason they killed us is because our defense was next to last both years...

Cool Mo Dee, and Grand Master Flash are pretty cool names...

Fabulous news Chris! Glad to see things are looking up. Can't wait to see you and your wife again at the next tailgate!

It's true. Counting Thanksgiving, there are seven. That SUX!!!!!!

More importantly, who is going to be the ticket master this year?

It has been fixed. Some joker wrote, "Andrew Peters is Chuck Norris' father".

Check out the last sentence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Peters

#2. 2 is always better than 1
