    The climatologists are claiming that this part of Vancouver Island will have a California like climate within 30 years! ...... the way the weather's been going this summer and what it's been like the last few years it seems like California already!

    (I've been in Anaheim California to Disneyland in October 1994 and remember it being 105 degrees F for a few days) :-P
    Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

    ^^^What he said^^^
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Summer isn't over until the fat lady sings and that happens mid to late October.

    Baghdad battery?

    (Galileo) Galileo,

    Magnifico.

    Global warming, climate change:
    The ice age is coming, the sun's of an end
    Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
    A nuclear error but I have no fear
    Cos London is drowning and I live by the river

    Now get this
    London calling, yes I was there too
    An' you know what they said - well some of it was true!
    London calling at the top of the dial
    An' after all this, won't you give me a smile?
    London calling...

    Nothing really matters,
    Anyone can see,
    Nothing really matters,
    Nothing really matters to me.

    Any way the wind blows.

    Galileo is one of my heroes but he did not invent the telescope. It may have been one Hans Lippershey, a German-Dutch spectacle maker, based on the fact the he was the first to apply for a patent for one, but no one is entirely sure; the most likely scenario is that, much like with the airplane, it was a number of people building on each other's work. Galileo made some improvements on it but his real claim to telescopic fame was that he was one of the first to turn the device to the sky, write down what he saw and then publish it. For this, he's often called the first real scientist.

    If he was a REAL scientist, does that mean he knew Morse code?

    Hell, he knew Samuel F.B. Morse himself. They used to hang together in Pisa, drinking Mickey's behind the campanile before it started to lean.
