Former Vice President Al Gore, stung by the fact that his Tennessee mansion uses as much power as some Balkan states, spent $16,533 on new windows, duct work, a geothermal heating system and replacing all the light bulbs with the trendy fluorescent types–and saw his electricity bill go up ten percent.Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Speaking of weird-looking creatures (sorry Al), have you heard of Spore? It's a computer game that allows you to design and control a creature from amoeba stage to space-faring stage.
ReplyDeleteThey recently released the bit that lets you create creatures. Try it, and please post your creations, as I'd like to see what Gaian-eating monstrosities you could cook up. :D

(Just download the trial edition, it's got more than enough bits to create things.)
PS: Don't know where you stand on the Evolution/ID&Creationist debate (I'm for the former, it being a theory rather than a hypothesis), but this sorta blows Intelligent Design out of the water.
ReplyDeleteI mean, what kind of Designer would have made us so boring? They could have at least added some dextrous grasping tentacles (they're always in vogue).
Hey, don't make fun of Al Gore. Manbearpig is for real! I'm cereal!
