what if all TVs were connected to treadmills/generators instead of an electrical outlet...

We should make all these lard-asses run on treadmills connected to electric turbines to help solve our energy woes...

problem with that claim is that the people growing the most blubber live in areas where heating is not an issue... e.g. the deep south and even click here

heat up the atmosphere so we need less energy to heat our homes, and can manufacture lighter/less clothing. Oh yeah, we're already working on that one!

why go there? just take the Nile as an example (see my above post). Any "educator" that has failed to study the cradles of civilization (centered around the rivers Nile, Tigris and Euphrates, etc) has no business teaching anything, IMNSHO.

who will kill the spiders?

nope, extra #21.

WTF are you talking about? We have just as many as they do? Albeit one Y in place of an X... for #23. this is doubly funny in that he's the one who started the "misconceptions about the natural world" thread it's triply funny since he works in the life sciences

DeNile ain't just a river in Egypt.

True. One thing worth pointing out is that the "proof" contains the oft misstated quote that "money is the root of all evil". The correct statement is "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil", so the "proof" needs to be tweaked a bit.

Of course the river returns the client to the put-in point - the customer demands it, what kind of business are you running?

anything that bleeds for a week a month... and survives... is evil The whole bleed thing is largely a figure of speech. There is actually a very small quantity of blood involved in menstruation. Perhaps you should consider some human anatomy and physiology classes so as not to sound so fucking stupid. lighten up fuckhead

Interestingly, there has already been at least one black pope: Gelasius I, who was pope between 492 and 496...

After running your spyware software and cleaning up all the adware, don't run IE - it is prone to these viruses. Use Mozilla Firefox as your browser instead.

Yeah, Clinton REALLY put that on the top of his administration's agenda, and made HUGE progress.

One candidate who had been discussed as a successor was a black man, a former slave from Latin America. This was some years ago - I don't know if he is still alive or in the running.

I don't know where you're getting that. The news this morning sounds like he himself is "letting go".

That's not the point. The autopsy is a red herring.

So what is the down side? If you leave the stalks etc to rot, then nutrients are returned to the soil. If you haul them away, and process them to make ethanol, how will the soil retain its nutrients. (Ukraine has the richest soil in the world, Chornozem. So that will not compare - you could grow crops there almost forever and not worry about this)

like rainforest biomass?

it doesn't say anything about the rainforest. Ethanol comes from distilling grain. Grain is grown on fields, which, in Brazil, have likely come from cleared rainforest. Could the US even grow enough extra grain to produce the required ethanol to fuel all its cars?
