    Melting ice caps slowing earth's spin

    Earth's shape (oblate spheroid, or slightly flattened sphere, if you prefer) always has fluctuated and the rotation has been slowing down for millions of years and will continue to slow down (barring collision) until the sun goes from white dwarf to supernova. Besides, The tangential velocity...

    DiCaprio nearly killed by climate change in Calgary

    I came originally from MB. Does that mean I am from AB or SK? Nope. Anyways, it was a joke about Dippers. I am sorry if it offended your heroes and you, but you should not take things so sensitively.

    Johnny said it came from the ocean. No sense of reason either, huh? Sad

    DiCaprio nearly killed by climate change in Calgary

    Nope. The chinooks come from the Pacific, not BC. My comment was a joke and it seems to have indicated that you have no sense of humour as well. Are you lacking any more senses than those?

    DiCaprio nearly killed by climate change in Calgary

    You lack a sense of direction, huh. I have heard of that problem. My sympathies. We have Gliberals over here. They are also a windy bunch, but too weak to influence AB.

    Shepherd's Pie

    mmmm I love meow mein. It is better than eating a pie with sheep herder in it any day. Difference between city zoos and country zoos is that city zoos have plaques describing habitats and biological information and the like. Country zoos have plaques with the same info but also include recipes. :D

    First worldwide survey of religion and science

    The study's results challenge longstanding assumptions about the science-faith interface. While it is commonly assumed that most scientists are atheists, the global perspective resulting from the study shows that this is simply not the case.

    Salicylic acid might aid fight against certain degenerative diseases

    Researchers at the Boyce Thompson Institute and John Hopkins University discovered that salicylic acid, the primary breakdown product of aspirin, binds to GAPDH, thereby stopping it from moving into a cell's nucleus, where it can trigger the cell's death. (GAPDH is an enzyme; MitoSciences...

    Shepherd's Pie

    I make Sunshine on the Mountains sometimes. It is basically shepherd's pie except I add more garlic, some corn niblets, chopped celery, a can of cream of mushroom soup or just mushrooms, some rosemary, thyme, a bay leaf, and some cayenne. And the meat was not always beef. I do not spread the...

    Is this the ultimate Canada burger?

    Make your own red relish, Hon. Heinz Red Hamburger Relish Copycat Recipe - Food.com The only thing that bothered me about the DQ burgers was that I prefer my pickles on the side and no mustard. DQ people seemd to be pretty accommodating about it, though. =)

    Is this the ultimate Canada burger?

    eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww I just cannot handle those preformed, boiled, frozen, and then nuked pieces of cardboard they call "meat patties". There is more flavor in rice cakes than in those things. They are called "gutbombs" around here.

    Is this the ultimate Canada burger?

    I shall pass. DQ Brazier Burgers are not too bad. The Keg makes a decent burger. There was a tiny little place in Kelowna near the mall and across from Wendy's that made superb burgers called the Burger Baron. I heard it moved to Rutland to where the Tastee Freez used to be. BUT, I still love...

    Spain's Solar Green Energy Giant About to Go Bankrupt

    That would depend. Chrysler paid Iaccoco a handsome sum for getting it out of the red and into the black. It worked. Probably not but I bet some outfit will salvage it. I cannot see the banks swallowing the debt so if no-one steps up immediately, it will be discounted.
