Nervous Guy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Interesting...did you also see the link in there stating that we are actually heading into another Ice Age? "And what's more, the experts blame the global change on falling - rather than climbing - levels of greenhouse gases. Lead author Thomas Crowley from the University of Edinburgh and Canadian colleague William Hyde say that currently vilified greenhouse gases – such as carbon dioxide – could actually be the key to averting the chill. .....published in the authoritative journal Nature".... What would Al Gore say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If it can't be explained by scientists, then it must be the work of a supernatural being. It could be a scientific consensus. Consensus is used when there are no agreed-upon data, just the opportunity for grant money. Like global warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 OPen the pod bay doors HAL. I always wished HAL killed Dave then, saving everybody 45 minutes' worth of 1960's-style wow!-wow!-man! psychedelic ennui. That wasn't matched until the Lord of The Rings, with Frodo and his pal at Mt. Doom. The 1st 10 minutes or so were OK, but as time wore on...and...on...and...on, I found myself rooting for Gollem to seize those two moaners and fling them into the fiery abyss.

As much as I loved LoTR books and enjoyed the movies, one thing I've always wondered was if the giant eagles could fly Sam and Frodo out of Mordor....why couldn't they just fly them into Mordor?

Kevbeau Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Couldn't clear it with the GEU (giant eagle union). Yeah, the lack of foresight by the GEU is why we use foreign eagles today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
