  3. I knew I had seen this before... This system can apply to approaches and descents, but one thing missing is when there are sections of actual canyoneering on a descent (due to getting badly lost in my case.)
  4. It seems that since the shrubs inaugural address ("spreading freedom and democracy throughout the region") the tone has changed ("we must prevent the spread of islamic radicalism throughout the region") Like he's realizing that the situation in Iraq has turned into one that is in al Qaeda's favor, but...just...can't...quite bring himself to admit it. It must suck to be George W. Bush.

  8. My grandparents came from Ohio to California in the 20's. Grandpa worked for Sunoco, Standard Oil and then Mobil. During the Great Depression, the oil companies didn't want to lose knowledgeable oilmen, but couldn't afford to pay them regularly. To keep them on, they would give them a paycheck every other month and the intervening months, they would give them stock in the company worth equal to what the paycheck should have been. My grandparents were childless at the time, so to help out larger families in need of money, they traded the stock for cash. My dad still holds all the oil stocks my grandparents bought. I think he's pretty well off.
  9. I believe there is already somethng like that on the market... How does one make a cigarette larger in diameter and reduce the inhalation of extraneous combustion products? A strong cigarette contains 1.1 mg of nicotine. A cigar, depending on its size and type, can contain anywhere from 10 to 444 mg of nicotine. Cigar smoke also produces 30 times more carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke.

    New Poop Thread

    It's a Colon Cleansing Kit. It cleanses the body of colon, hence the Why anybody would want to do that is beyond me, but then... It's an odd world we live in.
  11. An average of 7.5 posts per day since registration. Although, since I'm an idiot my math is suspect.

    Looting cops

    The real looting may be just getting underway... aka Haliburton and Bechtel awarded non-competitive bids for reconstruction.
  14. In the US, $50 seems to be the going rate. More than 1/2 what you get in England.

    Miles Davis

    "Miles also had a pimp's voice, the voice Amiri Baraka once described as his "hipster foghorn bass." That raspy whisper resulted from Miles's supposedly screaming at a promoter too soon after throat surgery." A side note: "BILLY CRYSTAL relates that Louis Armstrong came to a seder at Crystal's childhood home. He was a guest of Crystal's uncle, the famous music producer MILT GABLE. Armstrong, of course, was noted for his very raspy voice. Crystal's grandmother came up to Armstrong and said, "Louis, have you ever tried just clearing your throat, just coughing it up?"

    Miles Davis

    His final project "Doo Bop" is a good example of this.
