I think what he means is they need a sign about a quarter mile back or so that hangs from chains or something. When the too high truck hits it, the person driving will KNOW that they can't get under the bridge safely. This is less damaging to both the sign and the truck involved. They have similar installations in…

Just think of the CO2 as a battery that helps store the energy from the Solar/Wind power plants.

Of course we haven't heard from them in a decade. They've been busy making all those reflection panels for the SHIELD hellicarrier. Duh!

Where can I get the Tony Stark chest piece display and tape that under my shirt?

I wish they'd strap a few ion thrusters to this baby and send it off to orbit the moon or Mars for a while. It's a space ship just waiting for some engines already!

I'm betting it'll be more along the lines of some general or senator referring to Rhodes in the suit as "our Iron Patriot" or something. They've done it before "We're Iron Mongers, Tony" and "You want to be a War Machine?" I doubt it'll have much bearing on the villain of the same name. Still, they need to call the…

Kickstarter? Hell, point the people who do the Superbowl halftime productions at these boys. They'll be rolling in $$. I want to see this at next year's show!

Just so we're clear, the chemical fertilizers are mostly nitrogen (made from ground up animal bones). It's not much different than burying your dead animals in the field or spreading good old manure. The main issue with nitrogen fertilizer is that it tends to run off into the water supply. This causes unintended…

See the giant blue box at the bottom of the graph? That's what we've spent on entitlements for the last 10 years. Everything else is our total military expenditures for the same period. Guess which one of these things is enshrined in the constitution as an actual FUNCTION of the Federal Government?

Right, Take away guns and all you're doing is giving the advantage to the more physically endowed people. If you're a 100lb woman and a 250lb man comes up and threatens you with a knife (or a stick, or a rock, or his fists) what do you do if you don't have a gun?

In the United States, there were three times as many automobile deaths in 2011 as there were gun related murders. Where's the rant on Automobile ownership?

What effect will freezing them have on the batteries? Good? Bad?

Here's another good article that explains how the ripples from the housing bubble spread out to hurt the rest of the economy. Now, I'm not saying the banks are blameless in this, but I also happen to believe that Government intervention made things worse, not better.

The housing bubble was the primary catalyst of the current economic meltdown. For more information on how the bubble got started (and the govenrment's role in creating it) I suggest reading the following.

Criminal Activity preceding the financial crisis? You mean the people in congress who pressed Fannie and Freddie to buy up sub prime mortages in order to "Advance the Dream of Home Ownership"? It was the morons in the government who tried to tweak the housing markets to suit their own ideas of how things should be…

Argh! There go my tax returns, darn it!

Um. . . wow.

In the original series, the Cylons were created by a reptilian race of the same name that had since died out. In the new series, the Cylons were created by humans (who were attempting to die out). It doesn't really match the "Happened before, happens again" theme.

Last year in the USA, apprx 8700 people killed by guns. During the same year almost 33,000 people died in auto accidents in America. Let's get those damned cars banned now! They're a menace!

"Colonizing Mars is a Sisyphean task." Wouldn't it be a Herculean task? Sisyphus just had to do the same thing over and over again with no hope of ever finishing his task. I don't know if you'd get many volunteers for a Mars mission characterizing things that way! Now, if the new rover gets stuck trying to climb,…
