7665. wabbit - 9/9/2008 1:46:18 AM Gotta love the squids and octopuses. Or are they Octopi? Either way, lots of interesting stuff at the TED conference, for those who might be interested. 7666. jexster - 9/10/2008 3:40:43 PM What Is Woodward's 'Secret Weapon' in Iraq? 7667. alistairconnor - 9/10/2008 3:54:26 PM Btw, AC, peak oil is being projected for some time after 2015 AD now. How ya wanna pay up?
Got a link with that?
My guess is that the people who are predicting "some time after 2015" are the same ones who were predicting "in thirty years or so", a year ago. 7668. alistairconnor - 9/10/2008 4:01:18 PM I want to get my daughter one of these
an electric Solex.
Most of you have never heard of the original (a motorized bicycle from medieval France). Mago, on the other hand, probably remembers how to have sex on a Solex. In motion.
(Not that I would want her to give my daughter any ideas) 7669. jexster - 9/10/2008 4:35:10 PM I bet the French teach toddlers about the Joys of Sex
Fucking animals 7670. alistairconnor - 9/10/2008 4:39:41 PM Experts offer scaled-back sea level rise forecast
What's astonishing is that the media have got this backwards. The IPCC report predicted 18 to 59 centimeters by 2100. These people from the University of Colorado predict between 80 and 200 centimeters, i.e. roughly four times as much.
This study is the highest informed estimate ever published, and sets Con up to lose his bet. 7671. magoseph - 9/10/2008 4:41:27 PM I remember the Vespa, this one: 
I never did any fooling in France--now here, that's another story.
7672. thoughtful - 9/12/2008 4:49:13 PM AC we call them mopeds here and my cousin had one...was riding along when the front wheel got stuck in a grate on the side of the road and he went right over the top...suffered brain damage. Be sure she wears a brain bucket (helmet). 7673. goodwinejoe - 10/19/2008 3:13:53 AM Perhaps she would like one of these instead. No helmet necessary!
Mini
7674. alistairConnor - 10/20/2008 12:49:59 AM Well I'm sure she would Joe!
She just needs to find herself a rich daddy.
(But not just yet. She's only fifteen.) 7675. anomie - 10/20/2008 1:11:47 AM Those mopeds and electric bikes are great, but dangerous here. If I were king I'd mandate bike and scooter lanes (protected) be built along along all streets, roads, highways, thoroughfares, and bridges.
In the US you'd need at least a 150cc to keep up with traffic. Otherwise you're roadkill. 7676. thoughtful - 10/20/2008 2:56:26 PM Thanks Joe, very cute! 7677. concerned - 10/20/2008 7:26:43 PM Lorne Gunter: Thirty years of warmer temperatures go poof
7678. goodwinejoe - 10/22/2008 4:47:58 AM Click on play upper left to hear Michael Oppenheimer
I think I will go with Michael Oppenheimer, a member of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change and professor at Princeton over Lorne Gunter right wing blogger. 7679. wonkers2 - 10/22/2008 5:15:04 AM Me, too! Are you by any chance a plumber? 7680. concerned - 10/23/2008 7:17:46 AM Lorne Gunter: Thirty years of warmer temperatures go poof
Ooops!!!!!
There goes the justification for the existence of all the global warming chicken little nazi bastards! 7681. wonkers2 - 10/23/2008 5:45:39 PM Digital TV is coming soon! 7682. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 10/23/2008 5:56:06 PM Good laugh! 7683. jexster - 10/25/2008 4:22:12 AM In First Policy Speech, Piglin Blasts French Fruit Fly Research
Concerned must be the sorry sack of Moose Shit's science adviser
