Holy non-sequitur!

I would stop. But I love the sheen. You just can't get that with a standard chamois.

Do you go disguised as two thin people? Like those t-shirts with a tuxedo printed on the front. Do you have a t-shirt with Siamese twins printed on it?

I would love to see that. A picture of a really fat person, with a shirt and pants that make it look like 2.

Quick someone use their skills and find one

Sitting on top of the sheraton hotel next to YVR, and there is so much fog you can't see the planes taking off, but you can certainly hear/feel them.

Makes sense, as most people don't power off the monitor. *shrug*

Yeah, but don't most monitors go into a sleep/standby mode when the computer is turned off? Taking that into account, I'd expect the computer to use something like 98% less power when turned off...

Maybe Pixie could suggest reverting to pre ATX power supplies - then when the switch is off (and the display is daisychained from the computer) there is no volts getting jiggy. 100% savings!

Fucken Stars In Their Eyes, man. I swear half the contestants sound like Muppets. Honestly, they could do each others song because they all have the same goofy voice which sounds like a caricature of the original.

Touché. Possibly it's the glare from your pate that's thrown jeff_sichoe off as well. I'm surprised I haven't seen you in the queue actually..

I've never had a chai latté fetish. Caramel Macchiato, yes... at one stage. But I was young and impressionable.

Correct on the honky front though.

Why is the price of oil constantly rising? dont say 'the war in iraq'. Exxon Mobil posted a $40 billion dollar profit last year.

Put another way, in the time it takes you to fill up the tank, Exxon earns some $400,000 in profit.

how much fuel do you think would be available for your service station pump if oil was half its price?

About as much as there was when it was under $1 / L.
Petrol tanks don't hold more fuel just because petrol is cheaper.
There'll be more people *filling* their tanks, but that will also mean less frequent visits.
*shrug*

The illusion of scarcity justifies the price, supposedly.

I can't help but think Bush's rich oil-buddies are sitting there praising his work.

It's not costing any more to pull it out of the ground than it was two years ago, that's for sure.

this is part of it.

the current rigs and extraction methods wont suddenly cost more to operate, no, but as oil gets scarcer, the methods used to extract it are going to cost more. apparently oil rig manufacturers cant keep up with demand, too.

its a combination of factors of course. ever increasing usage is the biggest part, greedy oil barons who want to extract every last dollar from their patches is another, worry over decreasing reserves with no viable alternative in sight, its a mess. whos fault is it tho?

If someone doesn't seem to realise what they're doing is trolling or how obvious it is - is it idiocy or genius?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but chicken doesn't have a sauce associated with it:
Ham & Mustard.
Lamb & mint sauce.
Pork & apple sauce.
Beef & ketchup/gravy/jism/whatever.

If only that magical combo could be found to go with chicken. There's still some frontiers left thank god.
