  1. Hmm, I lost my Red Beckey book. When you say "thin red", what are you referring to? An older edition?
  2. Remember, just because one can, doesn't mean one should. By this I mean some thought should be put into the route and the placement of the bolts.
  3. This is apparently where Dru got his information. It makes for interesting reading.
  4. http://www.komotv.com/stories/39355.htm Oly, this is a story that I am perfectly WILLING to believe!

    Hay Bunny!
  6. You are just part of a vast Canadian Thread Resurrection Conspiracy.
  7. You'll never find out.
  8. A number of their assertions are highly debatable. The assertion that only 50,000 troops would have lost their lives in a WWII assault on Japan is absolutely laughable. The following statement is a bunch of BS. It doesn't matter whether it (the hydrogen) is there or not. I can't be accessed using less energy than you can derive from it. "All the clean hydrogen we need to power the world is already contained in crystals at the bottom of the ocean called gas hydrates. TRUE. The mainstream U.S. press doesn't talk about it much, but the world's hydrogen problems have a ready solution. Frozen ice crystals found off the shores of Canada, Japan, Russia, Iceland and other nations with Northern shores contain vast quantities of clean, frozen hydrogen -- enough to power the entire world far beyond the limits of petroleum reserves. The U.S. press doesn't talk much about gas hydrates, preferring to focus on hydrogen derived from either natural gas or petroleum (resources the U.S. tends to own or control). "
  9. Not everyone may be aware of this indication of carbon monoxide poisoning. It is a good thing to be able to recognize it.
  10. Hey check it out. New routes. Some look pretty good, such as the ones at Off-Ramp. Others look kind of blocky and similar to Overhaul Wall, which I don't really care for.
  11. Funny to consider then that my climbing career didn't begin until I had already attained geezerdom.
  12. Stop starting unnecessary wars. $500 billion.
  13. Sorry I should have used the "tongue-in-cheek" gremlin.
  14. If the topic is Famous Snaffles, or Recipes that use Horsecock, we'll win for sure.
  15. Indeed. Who would have thought that the humble potato chip could influence the course of evolution? We need to come up with a name for fry-induced selection.
  16. One thing that can be said of bright colors is that they fade quickly and can be used as a gauge of the age.
  17. You don't want to see all those beanie-wearing, pad toting types getting forced into the hills do you?
  18. The one paragraph explanation: It appears that amino acids, especially asparagine, reacts with glucose in the starch under high heat to product acrylamide, which is in turn metabolized by the body to glycidamide. Glycidamide reacts with DNA causing mutations, which lead to tumors.
  19. It's mainly the very high temperatures that are responsible. Tortilla chips tend to have less than fries or potato chips. Acrylamide in Foods: Micrograms per Serving Water, 8 oz., EPA limit 0.12 Boiled Potatoes, 4 oz. < 3 Old El Paso Taco Shells, 3, 1.1oz. 1 Ore Ida French Fries (from package), 3 oz. 5 Ore Ida French Fries (baked), 3 oz. 28 Honey Nut Cheerios, 1 oz. 6 Cheerios, 1 oz. 7 Tostitos Tortilla Chips, 1 oz. 3 Fritos Corn Chips, 1 oz. 11 Pringles Potato Crisps, 1 oz. 25 Wendy’s French Fries, Biggie, 5.5 oz. 39 KFC Potato Wedges, Jumbo, 6.2 oz. (est.) 52 Burger King French Fries, large, 5.5 oz. 57 McDonald’s French Fries, large, 6 oz. 72
  20. Anal bleaching must be tough on a student's budget.
  21. Acrylamide- don't laugh. "Every potato chip product tested contains between 39 and 910 times more acrylamide than the Prop 65 warning threshold currently allows." How Potato Chips Stack Up Do I eat potato chips? Yes, but infrequently. I prefer tortilla chips.
  22. Chris, you were the fourth poster. It was your duty to blame Bush.
  23. I wonder if they still had that characteristic rosy complexion?
  24. Carbon monoxide. Yikes.
  25. Smith has lots of great face climbing.
