It is inconceivable that we, as humans, can dump so much crap into our air, land, and water, and not have it affect the global environment/climate to some extent. There must be some impact. You cannot keep dumping **** into your own house without something breaking down.

"Science doesn’t work despite scientists being asses. Science works, to at least some extent, because scientists are asses. Bickering and backstabbing are essential elements of the process. Haven’t any of these guys ever heard of “peer review”?" "This is how it works: you put your model out...

From today's Toronto Star: A leading astrophysicist who has worked on space missions claims that he and his colleagues are in contact with extraterrestrials who are "living among us." And they don't like what they see. Latchezar Filipov, head of the Space Research Institute at the Bulgarian...

The shows that were filmed latest in the day (they'd film several episodes each day) were the best, 'cause he was usually blotto.

Someone has to continue the tradition of the Galloping Gourmet, don't they?

We don't want C&P, we either want T&A, B&D, or S&M.

With all the discussions about Trudeau and 'his' Charter, I thought it would be interesting to see what people think about Ontario's 'stunt driving law'. It's blatantly unconstitutional - you can go to jail for 6 months and are not allowed to present a defense. Ontario is still in Canada...

That's the problem; when Lantic had the refinery in Saint John, they made brown sugar the proper way.

Since Corning seems to be buying up all the glass plants, they shut down the bottle plant here in NB. That means that the breweries have to import empty bottles from Ontario, and also means there is no market for recycled glass. Back in the 70s, my grandmother would pick up the broken glass...

That reminds me of another problem we had about 15 years ago. There used to be a Lantic Sugar refinery here in Saint John, which closed. They made their brown sugar with a different process; when they announced they were shutting down, many of the home bakers bought up every package of the...

I read an interesting article recently, and I don't know where, about which to use for pastry - lard or butter. Me, I've always used shortening, unless it's for a tart crust, but 'the experts' all agreed that either butter or lard was the key for pastry. That's irrelevant to the question at...

Warning to all young men out there - a frustrated cougar could be a dangerous creature. (from cbc.ca) An 11-year-old female lion is being removed from the Magnetic Hill Zoo after sexual tension between her and a young male turned to violence. Bruce Dougan, general manager of the zoo in...

So, Danny wants to develop the Lower Churchill hydro development. He tried to negotiate a power corridor through Quebec, but Quebec won't agree. So his alternative is to run an underwater cable to Nova Scotia, then power lines through NS to NB to Maine. Now, Hydro Quebec is going to buy...

Why do people start multiple threads covering the same old ground?

Saw the end of an interesting progam on PBS last night about Brooksley Born (chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Comission under Clinton. She tried to push for some regulation of the derivatives markets, but was thrashed by Greenspan and his pals, who convinced Clinton that no regulation was...

Oh, that's just part of the conspiracy, to scare you into succumbing to the new world order. Had my regular flu shot last night, I'll get the h1n1 when it comes in. I'm still alive, but then again, I'm part of the conspiracy, too.

Thanks. I have to get someone to grand bay tomorrow for a 7:30am practice. Thanks a lot. Why don't you meet me at the toll booth with a large?

That's why I live in the Maritimes. Surely to god, the weather will improve with climate change. Maybe more like Cape Cod. I'm about 150 ft above sea level, but I expect my mother's cottage will be gone. I've stocked up on beer already.

One benefit of the internet is that it allows everyone who is paranoid about anything to spread bull****, fear, and stupidity all over the world.
