QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) One of the nice things about being a Caltech Grad Student working on igneous (i.e. Volcano derived) rocks is that you occasionally get to play around with these sorts of things. Barring anything going terribly wrong, in a few years I should have a chance to get a nice trip through Hawaii to look at Kilauea and a few other things. Can hardly wait. Very cool.

Extra Innings stuck me with the Rox broadcasts for the whole series, so there was not that much focus on the Sox dugout. What they did manage to get though, was Freddie going to town and picking his nose - I mean really digging in there for something. I was sitting there quietly hoping he didn't pull one out and eat it on camera, and luckily they cut away before we had to find out.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) Sounds awe-inspiring. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii just to see the active volcano's. The closest I have come to mother nature was riding out a hurricane in Texas in 1983, and that is what got me on the whole natural disasters thing. You can stay in the guest bedroom if you want to reason with hurricane season this year.

It's hard for me to even comprehend an eruption shooting lava three miles into the air. Unbelievable power.

What about Patches by Dickie Lee? This might be the Romeo and Juliet of the crooner era. I hear a neighbor tellin' my father He said a girl name of Patches was found Floating face down that dirty old river That flows by the coal yards in Old Shanty Town. Patches, oh what can I do? I swear I'll always love you It may not be right, but I'll join you tonight Patches I'm coming to you.

Cooney has been subverting the science for a long time, and confirmation that he altered global change documents to increase uncertainty in the science is just the latest revelation. Two years ago, at the end of a time span when the White House was pretty much telling EPA to take a dive in court whenever it went up against Big Business, it was suspected by Joe Lieberman and others that the strategy was also being used to undermine 10 years of climate change findings. There is more at the link - to the Senate website and not 'some pinko newspaper.' But the upshot is that Cooney, at the behest of the White House, convinced CEI to take the Administration to court over the findings of the Clinton era climate change report (based on 10 years of research). The rationale, of course is that if the findings of the 2000 report are invalidated, the carry-over into the 2002 report is also invalidated, and none of the emmissions reduction actions reccomended need to be put in place. http://www.senate.gov/~gov_affairs/index.c...nth=9&Year=2003

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) You are flat out wrong when you say that genetics is bottom-up... I said that Intelligent Design is a bottom-up argument. A person observes an amazingly complex and ordered living system and reasons that it had to be the result of rational design and therefore invokes some "undefined" agent of rational design. Or, the agent of design has a vision for the complexity of a system as envisioned a few billion years down the line and begins on a dircted path toward that end goal. Either way it's too much teleology for my taste.

Genes play a role in female orgasms. Possibly maybe even more important than jewelery?

Personally, I'd prepare for the worst :o "One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) The Led Zeppelin Shark tale. Probably not good reading if you're at work. Well, I'll be damned. I'm actually quite familiar with the famed Mud Shark incident, but I didn't get the Zep reference because I never knew Bonham or their road manager were in attendance. The event was mythologized by Zappa and the Flo and Eddie incarnation of the Mothers, as recorded on the Fillmore 1971 live album and is also available on numerous bootleg show tapes from that vintage of the band. Out You go out So far out You do the Mud Shark. baby ... etc FZ's narrative libretto to the song "Mud Sh-sh-shark" relates the version of the story I'm familiar with, but putting at least some of Led Zeppelin at the scene gives it a little more cache' than the Vanilla Fudge. Then again, the Mothers had just had the dubious honor of happing to open for the Vanilla Fudge on this tour, so Frank likely enjoyed lampooning them in song. He always chagrined when he recalled being booed off the stage by pimply bubblegummers shouting "Youse guys stink... bring out the Fudge!"

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) Somehow...this makes me think of Led Zeppelin... OK... I'll bite. Why?

Caprice (on awaking in the hospital): Hey, Gilby, I guess i made it. Thanks for getting my back, bro'. Marrero: Uhhhh, uhmmm, ...err... [Caprice's wiffe bends down and whispers in husband's ear...] Caprice: HE f***ING DID WHAT???!? That's gonna be one awkward moment.

My best friend and his wife just had a baby down here last week. We all know whet they were doing while the electricity was out.

What about 'El Kabong'?
