I’m sure it’s all thought out. *Cough*

Our scientists are introducing a foreign insect species into the UK ecosystem to combat a foreign plant introduced into the UK ecosystem. The insect is a psyllid called Aphalara itadori.

Even though there are *cough* safeguards in place to prevent escape which seem to rely on chemically nuking the site if an escape is [...]

How the West is moving to third world status

Well, it seems while the rest of the world pulls itself out of poverty and plans for the future the West is planning it’s way into third world status. I say third world because we don’t have a fourth world status yet. At least until we get there and create one.

Watch and [...]

We are all doomed.. Yet again

It seems that every few minutes another story emerges declaring that the end of the world is near. Now that the global warming scam is unravelling, and all but politicians and greenies with hands in the cookie jar are rejecting the idea, someone has restored an old doomsday scenario. Fertile Soil [...]

Funding issues

EADS Astrium is again looking at the idea of collecting solar power from space. H/T Ivan. Power that will be significantly cheaper than any solar power collected on Earth. Personally, bar fusion or one of the newer technologies, I think it is the best way forward and we should [...]

The cycle of liberty

Interesting thought on the Historical sequence of our liberty.

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back again into bondage.

I was looking at this and was surprised how quickly we can leap from one to the other. [...]

I see the way this is going

After my last article on ‘green’ cars for rich people I came across this article on ‘green’ vehicles that the inventor hopes will become a machine for the people.

I was looking at it and thinking that it looks really dangerous. It looks the sort of vehicle that if it was [...]

The snoopers are about

It seems that my ISP, as usual, is trialing some software to monitor torrent downloads as part of a concerted effort to clamp down on illegal users. Read here.

*cough* of course I don’t download pirated stuff myself but I do upload and download some stuff for personal use and share some data that [...]

How real scientists work

I’ve tried to avoid Global Warming, or cooling or whatever it is now because there is not a lot to say.

My stance is;

1) The weather is changing.
2) It has since we had real weather on this planet.
3) Man does make a difference but nowhere near as much as we are told.
4) We can’t stop it.
5) [...]

Sometimes being Paranoid is sensible

Go here and listen to this video. It’s too big to embed. Check the facts and then tell me you are not a teensy weensy little bit suspicious.

Bearing in mind that this is what I thought before this video came out and you wonder why I’m Paranoid.

Match made in Heaven

It seems that your DNA may be more important than you think if the assertions made by these dating companies are true. Read here.

Most people will be mighty disappointed if there is not a gene there for big tits but in reality we do get distracted by visual clues and make some bad choices [...]
