Excellent! Thanks for that link.
Hmm, seems like we ought to be able to move the rain belt to wherever we want it, just by some strategic placement of smokestacks.
If the islamists are able to accomplish what they want to accomplish, which is to kill millions of Americans with a bootleg nuke, we'll kill them by the scores of millions in return.
I've been a little skeptical until now about the use of the moniker 'WW III' to describe the struggle that we're in, but I'm now beginning to wonder whether this might very well turn out to be a point roughly equivalent to the 'Phony War' days in the late 1930's, before the outbreak of WW II proper.
What was learned
Equatorial east Africa was significantly drier than today during the Medieval Warm Period from AD 1000 to 1270, while it was relatively wet during the Little Ice Age from AD 1270 to 1850. However, this latter period was interrupted by three periods of prolonged dryness: 1390-1420, 1560-1625 and 1760-1840. These "episodes of persistent aridity," in the words of the authors, were "more severe than any recorded drought of the twentieth century." In addition, they discovered that "all three severe drought events of the past 700 years were broadly coeval with phases of high solar radiation, and the intervening periods of increased moisture were coeval with phases of low solar radiation."
(Could the sun be responsible for global warming? Nah<>)
We occasionally treat our dog, a corgi, to table scraps.
Of course, we don't let him get any chicken bones, but he sometimes manages to beg a little KFC or deli roasted chicken scraps.
And the 'chicken farts' he subsequently produces are supernaturally bad.
What the Hell is it with chicken?
Yes, they certainly can, and it goes like this:
"Due to the untimly death of Dr. Taylor and his family in an airplane crash, the entire estate of $2,000,000.00 (U.S. dollars) is unclamed. We need your help in releasing these unclaimed funds.
World class scam artists in Lagos, Nigeria. They have stung an individual for $200,000 and another for $2,000,000.00 over a 2 year period in my area.
You got to hand it to them, they're not dumb.
Socialists are also known for bizarre spelling.
The anti-capitalist, class warfare mentality has truely driven it's adherants into psychotic delusions of victimhood.
These people are pathetic.
Well, whatever turns them on.
