Do you really think they will bracket global warming posts with opposing evidence and views.

I don't even know if they'll bracket evolution channels with creationist views, but I'm sure someone will protest if they don't.

Never thought about it before, but when these big icebergs float near coastlines, they threaten a mini tsunami which can wipe out coastal property, because they tend to break apart in giant chunks. This place was recently evacuated. Iceberg just stuck, and not floating away.

Looks like Nova Scotia or Alaska somewhere.

An iceberg is sort of similar to an ice cube floating in your drink glass. Its just that it weighs zillions of tons.

Quite some time ago a young couple met in the tropics and spent much of their time cruising around tropical waters having and raising three kids. Then they sailed on a northern cruise and were safely in a harbor aboard their steel yacht when one morning hubby woke up and ventured topside barefoot and jacketless to see what the morning was like. He quickly called his wife's name (after fifteen years of marriage and three kids they had each learned to pack a good deal of information into such a call) and she appeared on deck in boots and warm clothing. Noting that their pre-selected escape route was already closed to them they set about battling this twelve acre "ice cube" that was floating their way. Yes, their yacht was steel not fiberglass but nothing withstands the unstoppable onslaught of a twelve acre ice floe trying to grind a steel yacht onto the beach.

I don't think a mini-tsunami is the real worry its just that massive tonnage can do real damage.

Murdered Italian ate ibex meat and deer meat as well as a toxic bracken. The toxic bracken was almost certainly ingested as a drug to treat intestinal parasites. The meal was consumed between thirty minutes and two hours before he was murdered from ambush about 3,500 years ago.

Diane Feinsteine said to have been 'snubbed' in selection of candidate.

Always hated her after, as Mayor, everything in San Francisco had her name on it. Building programs, community centers, everything, then there was a sales tax hike and the city distributed sales tax calculation charts blazoned with "Mayor Feinsteine's Sales Tax" prompting her to have them seized from merchants by the police.
