Ethanol Powered Aircraft

You have to admit, you had that one coming, from the moment you hit "send."
;-)

Nope. From the moment I hit "reply".

Actually, some particle accelerators used hamsters to clean the tunnels.

Huh? Particle accelerator tunnels are a little too large for hamsters
to clean.

I must have missed something.

Do you really think that terrorists who plan ten years ahead won't have
moles in the reactors?

Nah, moles in the reactors will not do any good. They are just small
rodents.

Anyway, moles in reactors would be quickly killed from all of the
radiation.

No... They'd mutate into Molezilla

Well, Superman had a problem overcoming Kryptonyte, so I wonder if Molezilla
has a problem with Grubenyte?

At first I read that as "Molezerilla", but that would be pretty cheezy.

Awh, gee, I'm not ****in' politically correct... That just breaks my

don't you think that a country that can't educate itself, that
still believes in gods and spirits, that rejects evolution, and
that believes taking shoes off and banning toothpaste
and fine wines on carry-on luggage keeps us safe, is not
really the right country to entrust bunches of nuclear reactors to?

Hmmm... The way you describe it, it must really suck to live up there
in Connecticut... I can understand it though -- It must suck having to
live around so many Damn Yankees...

The simple solutions aren't.

And sometimes the complicated solutions aren't needed... There's
probably two ways to solve this problem... One is to just nuke the
whole ****in' Middle East... The other is to make their product
virtually worthless... As enticing as the first method might be, I
would prefer the second so that they have longer to contemplate how
they screwed up... Hell, we can always go back to the first way...

Their product will never be worthless. Its energy potential as a
fuel not whithstanding, it will always been needed and desired
as a product for lubricants, plastics, medicines, a zillion
differnt chemicals and lots of other stuff.

Petroleum is also the most efficient way to power an engine for
aircraft for a number of reasons.... and especially small aircraft
because of their size and weight limitations.

Hydrogen/nuclear/solar/whatever powered aircraft may one day
be a reality... but long after these other technologies have
been successfully used in automobiles - why are by far the
largest mass consumers of petro fuels on the planet. In fact,
once petroleum is replaced in vehicles the proce of fuel
JET ot AVGAS will go down accordingly.

In other words, a medium sized Texas ranch...

Or to be more to the point, about 1/10th the size of all of
little ol' Texas itself. Obviously there aren't any ranches in
Texas anything near that size. The 1002 Area of ANWR absolutely
dwarfs the largest ranch in Texas. It dwarfs at least the two
largest ranches *combined*. I didn't try to see, but it is possible
that all ranches in Texas put together might actually equal the size
of the 1002 Area in ANWR...

Somewhat larger than a few states. About the size of West
Virginia, and larger than 9 states to be specific.

Awh 'ell, if ya gonna bring *facts* into this conversation, I'm not

Next ya gonna tell me that I can't propagate the Texas stereotypes...
Hell, you might even try to claim that someplace other than Texas
knows how to do *real* BBQ...

I wasn't going to tell any Texas jokes... really I wasn't.

I did visit Houston once, and rather liked it. Just like
Prudhoe Bay... except for all the Texans, that's some nice
country. We drove by the Museum of Texas History, and they told
me it was a great demonstration of everything good about Texas!
I asked the folks I was with if we could schedule at least half
an hour there the next day.

They asked why I'd want to see everything more than twice.
