    student tries to set teacher on fire, claiming she was a "witch"!

    Like a friend of mine says, 'there's no cure for stupid'. (Or witchery I suppose in this case)

    The 2008 Canadian Election- Merged Thread

    I don't expect anything beyond minor changes in the seat distribution of the Commons.  I must admit that as a bit of a politics junkie I've kinda liked this string of minority governments, quite a difference from the healthy majorities of the Mulroney and Chretien periods.

    Canada's Place in the Global Economy

    I'm not an expert on pre WWII American economics, but as far as I understood it 1932-33 saw the lowest levels of GDP and it was in 1933 that the first portions of the New Deal were brought in.  From that point on US GDP was in a pretty consistant climb, surpassing the 1929 GDP high sometime in...

    Ideas to keep Gas Prices Fair

    A carbon tax is not Marxist. I am not advocating a carbon tax, but unless you reject anthropogenic global warming, a carbon tax is eliminating a market externallity which is a critical step to pushing the market towards pareto optimum.  It's too bad that it was the Lib's that drummed it up...

    Thailand; vacation ideas

    Go catch some fights at Lumpini Stadium, it's off the hook.  Ratchadamnoen is also good, but lumpini is more fun and is considered a little better. Both are pretty easy to get to in BK and easy to get tickets for (around 15-50 bucks CND) depending on seating and the fights.  You may want to...

    Ideas to keep Gas Prices Fair

    Dissolve OPEC, denationalize oil production globally (I'm looking at you Russia, Saud), ban motor fuel subsidization globally (I'm looking at you China, Ven., India)  Watch gas prices fall, watch political chaos ensue.  >:D

    'Black hole' machine could destroy planet: lawsuit

    Perhaps a better wording would be that 'until an object is reduced in size equal to, or below, it's Schwarzchild radius it is simply not a blackhole', because the mass, as I'm sure you well know, still exerts a gravitational pull even though it might be not yet be dense enough for it to be a...

    Google Chrome (BETA) for Windows

    Linux; a free, open source and community driven OS.  Most commie thing ever. Almost a shame it's so good. First post using Chrome.  Not a bad little browser on first inspection, I'll have to give it a more complete look when i'm off the work clock.

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    I love how many people are watching this thread, the numbers seem exceptional for one thread in the middle of a work day.  It's sort of like army.ca's version of a gawkers block.

    Need Advice: Alternate PT Program

    Find a gym with at hand crank ergometer, many athletes use it in their regular routine and they are often used to maintain cardio while recovering from a leg injury.  When Silken Laumann busted up her leg I believe she used a stationary bike placed up on a table (held by her mom) to keep up her...

    Basic Officer Physical Fitness

    First off, I wish you the best of luck with your rapidly improving fitness and with bright future as an officer candidate. However, a person that can run 1.5 miles in 9min should be able to easily run far far more than 4km.  Perhaps there is some error here.

    Taliban Tells CBC to Stop "destructive and inhumane mission"

    USAF Leaders To Be Fired

    From what I understand Gates will not make any major changes to F-22 procurement until the next Administration is in as he wants to leave options open for whomever takes office.  Perhaps he couldn't alter much at this late stage in the contract/administration anyway but he's stated that he'll...

    Presidential election may be up for grabs

    I find it very interesting that both parties have chosen candidates that have have significant issues with their respective party 'bases'.  This should be an interesting one to watch indeed. I happen to think Obama will win, with room to spare, though I would have to agree with Mr. Campbell that...
