  1. WHAT? Resurrection? That's only for Jesus dude! Falwell is hanging out with Jesus up on a cloud somewhere with nothing to do.
  2. This is a very interesting way to depict some statistical numbers that otherwise might just go right over your head. Follow the link below: Running the Numbers An American Self-Portrait This new series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 426,000 cell phones retired every day. This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. My only caveat about this series is that the prints must be seen in person to be experienced the way they are intended. As with any large artwork, their scale carries a vital part of their substance which is lost in these little web images. Hopefully the JPEGs displayed here might be enough to arouse your curiosity to attend an exhibition, or to arrange one if you are in a position to do so. The series is still in its early stages, and new images will be posted as they are completed, so please stay tuned. ~cj, January 2007 http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id=7
  3. This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant. You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant Walk right in it's around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
  4. It is just that the topic of oil, pipelines, war zones, etc. came up and it got my frazzled brain spinnin' . A lot of people feel that the importance, geographically, of Iraq is part becuase of the possibilities of new pipelines being constructed. You don't want to build one that traverses a country that one cannot "control".
  5. OK ... brain back ON again: http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/oil/pipeline.html The BTC pipeline will be buried along its entire length. Use of the pipeline avoids the need for increased tanker traffic through the congested Turkish straits Istanbul.
  6. I saw a doc recently that showed the MASSIVE pipeline that is being built the Middle East right now (of course i forget what it was called and a lot of the details). There were a ton of UK engineers involved and it is all very secretive. The areas where it is being built are very secretive. The doc team found "fields" of pipes all the way along waiting to get installed. The whole thing will be underground too (enviro impacts!!!)
  7. Sure' date=' if it exists. Since when does the Army build pipelines? [/quote'] They don't, they give the contract to one of those lovely companies like Halibuton.
  8. oooooohhhh ... i'd love to start something too DEM ... alas, i have some "work" to do and don't want to stay late tonight ding dong
  9. What? I'm not a standup kinda fan? Bummer Only wagons I ride are Toronto and Montreal ... doesn't mean I can't enjoy stellar hockey by other teams too. I'm a big fan of western hockey. I just wish we could see more of it during the year (maybe i should pay for Centre Ice). San Jose and Anaheim have been killer teams all year long. Too bad that San Jose lost to Detroit ... grrrrr. And hey, have I not being complimenting the Sens on their play in this round??
  10. Yup, they are pusing them around as the Sabres are a playing like a bunch of pussy cats right now. Meow Sabres Meow. Maybe the Sens will face a real challenge in the next round ... the Ducks! Those guys are tough.
  11. She knows how to handle a pole!!
  12. LOL ... I own 2 pugs (Otis and Marley). That's a kickass costume. Freaky little buggers .

  14. Sens vs. Then, we might see the killer matchup we thought we were going to get in this round.
  15. Wow ... now this series has turned into a joke That is to be taken as a compliment to the Sens, btw. For what was supposed to be such an amazing match-up with high-scoring top lines and kickass goaltending, it sure has been one sided. Did the Sabres even show up last night? Was that their farm team or something? I'm starting to feel sorry for Miller just like I did for Luongo. When the only player who shows up is the goalie at a conference final game you gotta wonder wtf is going on with a team. Miller should pull a Roy and just tell them all to Fuck Off in the next game and pull himself out of net if they play the same way in front of him. As was mentioned earlier, the reffing has swung to the side of hilarity. It's so consistently BAD that the players should start mocking them on the ice if they get the chance. Is anyone here going to the next game? Being there, and if they win, would be a big historical moment for a Sens fan.

    yayyyyyy God

    HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues via the Internet which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. _____________________ Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: "First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. "Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. "This gives two possibilities: "1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. "2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. "So which is it? "If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my freshman year that: 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct -- leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God!' " ______________________ THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

  18. Let me know when you're "legal" and I can try sending you any postings I come across here at the CBC (since yer edukashun wud be an asset)
  19. FBN, Thank You People who do things like that to your flag are asswipes. I hate that kind of shit. Mind you, maybe they were just trying to steal it so that they could have it for their own car. I don't like it when idiots feel that sporting events give them the right to vandalize (when was it that championships meant looting and car-flipping were allowed?)
