This video provides a nice argument as to what course of action would be best suited to meet the hypotethical threat of human caused global climate change. Set aside 10 minutes of the day and have a look at it.....oh, and where can I buy lottery tickets?

Eh heh...dang typo...well, congratulations then, Wo Smiley: clown

Anyway, a lady performed an experiment on global warming on our national radio about 10 years ago. She turned on all electrical appliances in the kitcen and after a while the temperature rose to uncomfortable heights. And that's when she discovered te solution to global warming - opening the window.

I actually didn't mind the video. But the extreme close up for that last minute or so kinda freaked me out.

You mean check threads 4 months back in time to ensure I'm not posting anything which has been brought up before? That ain't lurking, that's stalking. Smiley: eek

LOU: I love baseball. When we get to St. Louis, will you tell me the guys' names on the team
so when I go to see them in that St. Louis ballpark I'll be able to know those fellows?

BUD: All right. But you know, strange as it may seem, they give ball players nowadays
very peculiar names.

LOU: Funny names?

BUD: Nicknames, pet names. Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who's on first,
What's on second, I Don't Know is on third---

LOU: That's what I want to find out; I want you to tell me the names of the fellows
on the St. Louis team.

BUD: I'm telling you: Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third.

BUD: Every dollar of it! And why not, the man's entitled to it.

LOU: Who is?

I was going to make a thread about this, but I'll just post it here:

Quote:
LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. - Signs warning of the dangers of a rare amoeba will be posted at Lake Havasu, telling swimmers to take precautions such as plugging their noses when they dive.

The City Council voted on Tuesday to take the action after last month's death of 14-year-old Aaron Evans, who doctors believe was infected with the microscopic amoeba, Naegleria fowleri (nuh-GLEER-ee-uh FOWL'-erh-eye), while swimming at the Colorado River reservoir.

"I'm happy with it," said Keith Evans, Aaron's grandfather. "It shows they're stepping up."

The city will post the signs along the roughly one mile of waterfront it owns. Arizona and California share jurisdiction on the remaining lake frontage, along with county and state agencies and Indian tribes. Mohave County also is considering posting signs and the Board of Health will take up the matter next month, said Patty Mead, director of the county health department.

The signs Lake Havasu City plans to post will warn against dangers including "drowning, physical injuries, and illnesses caused by amoebae and bacteria which exist naturally," according to city staff. The signs directs bathers not to inhale water through their mouth and nose, and to avoid diving into murky or shallow water.

The city also may run public service announcements during periods of high water temperatures, when the amoeba becomes active, city spokesman Charlie Cassens said.

The amoeba is present in warm lakes and hot springs across the southern U.S. Human infection is extremely rare but almost always fatal, with six deaths reported this year in the U.S. The single-cell creature attacks the body when water is inhaled deeply into a person's nose; it attaches to the olfactory nerve, then makes its way to the brain.


They're saying that this amoeba wasn't a problem in the states until Global Warming started warming up the waters in the US.
