  1. Hmm yes there is a boulder problem like that near Hope... it's about 3 moves, the second one is a dyno that finishes or results in trying to hold a big swing. I have tried it 20 to 30 times eachon about 4 different days and still havenm't tensioned it Watching Distel32 cruise it during his tour didn't help either!
  2. Flying squirrel will not be deported
  3. You are assuming a direct and instantaneous relationship between technology and economy. Why did Ford license Toyota's hybrid technology for their Escort hybrid? Because their own version got WORSE mileage than a straight gas engine in internal testing.
  4. This thread seems to be mostly about peaks... what about sport climbing? Sharma took 45 tries or so to send Realization.. who's got their own long term project?
  5. The Vatican denies reports that Pope John Paul II has died. Earlier, Italian media agencies gave contradictory reports about the state of the Pope's health. Reuters news agency, citing unconfirmed Italian media reports, said Pope John Paul II, the leader of the world's 1.1 billion Catholics, had died. But Italy's Sky Italia released a report quoting Vatican sources that said the Pope's brain and heart were still functioning. The Vatican denied the report. "It is not true that the Pope is dead and there is no truth that his electro-encephalogram is flat because there is no such machine in the papal apartments," a Vatican official said. The last official Vatican statement on his health said the Pope's breathing "has become shallow," and that his kidneys are not functioning.
  6. He sells T-shirts with it too.
  7. Anybody want to give odds on the next Pope being black?
  8. The classic of the genre
  9. The point is that the monitor is showing the real world not some fantasy RPG... it is only a short step from this to downloading a "Beckey guidebook" file onto your web-equipped sunglasses, and following a virtual 3D trail up the obvious descent gully.
  10. Love Stinks
  11. Fight for your right to
  12. Canada and America, like Brazil, are net beef exporters Europe and Asia are beef importers. It's actually quite hard to find Brazilian beef in Canada, except as corned beef. The Argentinian corned beef is cheaper too. Must be the pampas.
  13. Now you can tag thin air! At the MIT Media Lab anyways
  14. but it would be OK if they were the property of peasant farmers or Chavistas, right
  15. dead as a dormouse at least she beat the Pope. I win $5
  16. gear sling
  17. Sure, guarana-powered Ferraris... I was thinking more of stalks and hulls and twigs and weeds and coffee husks and grounds and stuff. Even wood waste from pulp mills. Cow shit. That kinda thing. Like what the Ukranians and Russian home brewers make vodka out of. Let's not forget that unlike hydrocarbons from the ground, the CO2 from biomass is already part of the atmospheric carbon cycle... burning it as ethanol isn't going to raise atmospheric carbon any higher than letting it rot would.
  18. you can make ethanol out of many types of vegetable biomass you don't have to use grain... be the first on your block for an absinthe-powered VW
  19. follow the line a drop of urine would take from the summit
