Wottalotta Dropouts!
Maybe they could put some quality time into locating their brains instead of overworking their mouths.
May 21, 2008, 7:33 pm at 7:33 pm
Yea, for sure Swinish. Paris and Madonna have done well, overworking their mouths. Tiz at least better then the other end, where ya’d have to strap a (oh God…nothing meant to a couple of blokes) board to yer ass, to keep from fallin’ in.

Well done D!

If you’re prepared to put in the time and effort, 1.618, you too could learn to copy and paste as well as I do.

“Prince Charles of Whales, B.A. (no science degree)”
I had no idea large aquatic mammals were represented by the throne. I may start referring to him as Aquaman. As I recall he is also advocate of homeopathic medicine
But Jennifer Connelly is hot that counts for something doesn’t it? And last I checked Alicia Silverstone was cute.

Dminor, the point is, to copy and paste is very difficult to do..LOL
Global warming is the easy thing.
May 21, 2008, 10:54 pm at 10:54 pm
that’s why i never listened to this global warming crap.many ignorant and stupid people talk too much.
If there’s global warming, why is my gas bill $440 for the last 3 months? shouldn’t it be my electric bill ($170) for air conditioning that skyrocketed?

This brings truth to the old saying about experts.
X= an unknown quantity.
Spurts= what a dick does under pressure.
May 21, 2008, 11:32 pm at 11:32 pm
I always thought it was:
Ex: A has-been.
Spurt: A drip under pressure.

Prince Charles has his degree in History, and should know better. Unfortunately, he became a shipdriver and pilot …

Ya say your looking for scientists on the global warming issue.
Ya say your looking for scientists who reject the prevailing greenhouse gas/C02 thesis.
You know that the Yojimbo doesn’t linky so here is the site:
oism.org/project. If that link fails just go to oism.org and click on “petition” in related links section.
19,000 scientists who reject the linkage thesis along with a letter from the former head of the National Academy of Sciences, along with other background information.
Thank me now or thank me later.
