Failing that, rummaging in garbage cans.<br /><br /> Considering that both are highly disapproved of by the Eco-conscious, I'm amazed that they haven't called for the bears' extermination. Maybe they're hoping to one day use the bears as an excuse for removing all Canadians from Canada, thereby creating a giant nature preserve which only they will be allowed to set foot upon.<br /><br /> Well, except maybe for Quebec. Even the ecos probably don't want Quebec.<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />eoneonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580152241525427599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615995.post-89536569216516028502011-06-27T06:17:33.229-07:002011-06-27T06:17:33.229-07:00Hey, if the Chinese who build this thing want to r...Hey, if the Chinese who build this thing want to release Deadly Carbon Dioxide!!!1!! into their atmosphere, ain't nothing stopping them. When they run out of polar bears it'll be all their fault.<br /><br />(What's the practical application for a polar bear, anyway? To keep Canadians from over-breeding? To make Coca-Cola ads? Yeah, I guess that's it. We'll see how happy those Chinese will be when they're overwhelmed by a Wave of Canadians, and need to use wax tadpoles or something to sell sugary fizzydrinks!)Sergejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220098289020600208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615995.post-50138258008525687782011-06-27T04:35:33.150-07:002011-06-27T04:35:33.150-07:00"Feeling good" is what it's all abou..."Feeling good" is what it's all about. A recent NYT story about a reporter's "experience" with a Chevy Volt was mainly the reporter describing how "smug" he felt going by gas stations while supposedly getting the equivalent of 100 MPG from the electric battery. He never got around to calculating how much coal was burnt to supply the kWh the Volt consumed when he plugged it in to recharge every night for a week.<br /><br /> As for this slice of turkey bologna, it looks like a typical Syd Mead design from the Sixties. They just forgot that Syd was postulating some form of electromagnetic suspension, or even a contragravity drive, instead of wheels to move the thing around.<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />eoneonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580152241525427599noreply@blogger.com
