Obviously tuned to natural gas emissivity

Also, obviously, the guy ate at Taco Bell about 2 hours ago.

I would inform Al Gore and let him handle it

Ive seen this phenominom many times; pickled bar eggs, beer and Penrose sausages.


"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill
