  1. As seen in the New Scientist.

    A US company is taking plastics recycling to another level - turning them back into the oil they were made from, and gas.

    All that is needed, claims Global Resource Corporation (GRC), is a finely tuned microwave and - hey presto! - a mix of materials that were made from oil can be reduced back to oil and combustible gas (and a few leftovers).

    Key to GRC's process is a machine that uses 1200 different frequencies within the microwave range, which act on specific hydrocarbon materials. As the material is zapped at the appropriate wavelength, part of the hydrocarbons that make up the plastic and rubber in the material are broken down into diesel oil and combustible gas.

    So our place outside Guelph is zoned agricultural, and came with a small barn and a large lawn. A friend with a sheep dairy got given these two, and discovered that they were too small to stay with the rest of his flock. He had been looking for a new home for them, it seemed to all fit together perfectly...so last weekend, we drove up to Hillsburgh and came home with two sheep. They are our new lawn mowers and fertilizer producers, and are terribly cute to boot.

    Itchy is the lighter coloured and currently friendlier one. Scratchy is still a bit skittish, but that should disappear with time.

  3. Their sandwiches were actually pretty good at first but now they taste of cleaning product.

    Plus their coffee is brutal. And I get douche chills anytime someone says "Timmies".

    i have noticed a general trend toward disinterested help with a realxed attitude toward hygiene at tim hortons, and am way less interested in eating most of their food. they win out over no food at all, but not by a hell of a lot.
