Don't Read This If You Haven't Seen The New Batman

Because I'm about to tell you that it sucked hard core. Christian Bale is the worst Batman ever. Which is such a damn shame because Heath Ledger made the best, most creepiest and disturbing Joker ever. And now, his talents are wasted on stupid Bale's suckiness. I hated the last Batman movie because...

Riding bicycles is extremely dangerous in a car-driven society

I almost got into a fight today over something incredibly stupid. Because i'm too lazy to type again, here is my words with my friend on MSN. Ðαvê - what are we doing to ourselves? says: Oh, I was very close to getting my ass kicked today by two teenagers in a benz on robson street Ðαvê - what...

Redundancy

On the way in to London Bridge this morning, while gazing out of the window and pretending that the cityscape slipping past was in fact a music video for the Beastie Boys track on my iPod, I spotted a large lorry on which were two smaller lorries. The side of the hindmost of these smaller lorries...

Litter control and Anger of the day.

The picture on the right is of a trash can at a local park that contained a "Diet Coke" can and the picture on the right shows a crushed and discarded "Classic Coke" can very close where I live. The problem I have with this is in Germany each aluminum can has a deposit of 25 Euro cent added to the...

ESTÚPIDO SAVANNAH - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 9:16:41 AM

Oh yes, this is far better for the environment. The city closes the big trash burning plant at the edge of town, dangerous emissions increase as a result. The reason behind closing the plant was purely financial but Savannah’s Pseudo-environmentalists smugly patted each other on the head and said...

Oh The Beautiful Mountains

Sometimes I wonder if Kare and I are the only people thinking about this stuff. Doesn’t everyone think about mountains of trash blocking the sun like so many sky scrapers stretched out over the horizon? The smell would be so strong you wouldn’t be able to wash it off. Everyone would wear filter...

Wasting Energy, Killing Independence

Stan Meyers was an inventor that went to work after the 1970's crude oil embargo to find an alternative fuel source that is plentiful and cheap. He created a device which splits water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen which is then burned in an internal combustion engine. He installed the device...

Waste not, want not

Apparently the administration at the university has never heard of this old adage. Or they just don't care. Here's what I faced coming into work this morning: Yes, that's an entire dumpster full of student desks. It's one of at least five that have been hauled away in the last week. As preparations...

IRS reverts to clunky bureaucracy

I take back my kudos for the Internal Revenue Service. I thought they were actually going to be all nimble and smart by direct depositing the federal stimulus money to the folks that used direct deposit for their tax refunds. Then, today, I get a letter from them, telling me that they direct...

QotD: *Lightbulb Goes Off* -- Our Trash

What was the last great epiphany that you've had? Submitted by Ross. I had an epiphany while I was in Vietnam. I was visiting a puffed rice factory. They were puffing the rice for candies and such -- like a Vietnamese-style Rice Krispie treat. First, it hit home that the Industrial Revolution didn't...

What We Sold

The water, among other things. Today's Amarillo Globe-News tells how Pantex is planning to clean up contaminated water wells. How does nuclear weapons manufacturing affect area water? Well, the Pantex plant apparently leaches "volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile compounds, metals and high...

Think You Know Beauty?

Kim Komando is a wonderful source of information and entertainment. She refers to herself as the digital goddess, which I find kind of offensive. Be that as it may, I really enjoy listening to her because of the absolute flood of information she brings to her radio program. When I looked her up on...

Wasted (Redux)

I finally got to the Oshawa dump on Saturday and it was open. Now having run through the gauntlet that is the waste disposal facility, I'm more impressed with the operation. Coming from a rural upbringing, the dump to me was a large open pit of trash, speckled with seagulls and presided over by a...

Personal Cleverness and Bureaucratic Unsophistication

We paid our State(s) & Federal Taxes for 2007 a few weeks ago using online software. Easy-peasy even with being landlords now and a mid-year multi-state move and all. Ended up with a small refund from the Feds, and we selected the electronic direct deposit option. One week later, boom, there it is....
