Let's burn corn!

Right on, guys. There is a movement right now among all the corn belt state governments to crank up more ethanol production. It's a matter of scale and supply side economics; when crude oil is cheap, small scale ethanol production is more expensive than gasoline. BUT- when OPEC sticks it to us, and ...

Sandy, I heard they are running DNA tests on the E. coli to determine whether it was from the gulls or not. I haven't heard a follow up yet.

Good one, Linnea. I think this reinforces my opinion that we're not as smart as we think we are. Just 'cuz it came out of a computer doesn't make it true.

We have a lot to learn about Mother Earth. She always bats last. She will adapt and change.

Hey Lisa A, I had the same suspicion, but so far it looks like they are on the level. I just want to be sure that my supplements are what they are supposed to be. Without lead, prescription drugs, etc. salted into them. Some of the stuff they've found in the supplements is scary. So much for self-re...

Source for herbal/vitamin/supplement info

Just ran across this website which may interest you kids:

www.consumerlab.com

They are testing supplements to verify that they contain what the label claims, and give a thumbnail description of the products benefits and/or warnings.

You beat me to it, NV! I was going to post the same story. This is reminiscent of the Far Side cartoon where a visiting couple are sitting next to a cat, and they ask the owners if the cat is friendly. The owners are sitting across the room, and they are covered with scratches, the man has an eyepat...

Yup, we've got tons of the box elder bugs. If they're not flying, they're boinking each other. They use a curious tail to tail method for copulation. Never studied their life cycle, so I don't know where they lay the eggs.

Don't seem to do much else except feed the birds.

Judging from the other articles in the index, it seems to me that these kids at the University of Iowa are competing with "The Onion".

Hey all, FWIW Titanium Oxide (It's really Titanium dioxide, TiO2) is virtually inert. It replaced previous whiteners which were toxic. You need boiling sulfuric acid to break down TiO2 if my feeble memory serves me correctly. So it comes out of you the same way it went in. There have been numerous t...

IMHO, Edward is just a "cold reader", not a psychic. He is good at what he does. I'll be convinced when he successfully passes James Randi's (the magician) tests for true psychic ability. Plus he can take home the million dollars Randi offers for anyone who can prove themselves. Randi know...
