I think you just made my day. I adore baby squirrels. I got to take care of a litter that was brought into the vet office I was working for. I wish they had good enough behavior to make a reasonable pet. Or at least let themselves be tame in a yard!
Score 1 for science! Though I don't think pouring it inside a surgical site would be the best idea. There are other aqueous environments in an open abdomen besides broken blood vessels. But in an accident/war? Or even, once it's made cost effective, scrapes and cuts? Awesome!
My organic chemistry professor told me a story about a time when he was a graduate student working in a chem lab. He was always the one that disposed of the lithium aluminum hydride, which ignites when it touches water. One of the undergraduate freshman chemistry students heard of this awesome reaction and wanted to come watch, and my professor let him. What my professor forgot, however, was that he had been cleaning glassware in the sink earlier, so it had acetone all over the bottom of the sink. Acetone is -very- flammable. So my professor pours the lithium aluminum hydride into the sink and up shoots a column of flame large enough to touch the ceiling. The freshman was in complete awe, and my professor, not wanting to admit his mistake, just let him think that's what the chemical does on its own.
Agree with HeartlessMachine. He refuses to write in verbs, yet speaks in them? I don't mind a publicity stunt or an exercise in constrained writing, but don't make it loftier than it is.
I hear a lot of non-Americans complaining about how cheap our gas is and whining that we are whining.
We have several Gulf oil rigs, some mid-land ones, and maybe even some Alaskan ones. By that right, our economics demand that we pay lower prices as we can supply some of our own oil. Europe? Completely dependent on Middle East oil.
Lots of reasons. Any dysfunction in its brain could have caused this. For example, if the amygdala is damaged, the animal will, to varying degrees, exhibit tameness, sleepiness, loss of fear, decreased aggressive, an excessive tendency to examine everything orally, and.... a sex drive so excessive it will attempt to copulate with just about anything.
Yes of course this was scripted by their parents. Why does that make it less funny? I don't think they are even expressing their parents' opinions, as these are all typical things said.
I could understand them with some effort. That is adorable! I love the "I wasn't even born yet!" quip, and the end where the girl's like "I'm sorry, that was low."
Flagrantly misspelled words don't bother me so much (though I really love Firefox's auto spell check in any text box), because not everyone speaks English as a primary language.
I think a mild dose of apathy might go a long way for some of these. Let trolls and fools roll off your back, and stick to the discussions that actually provoke meaningful thought instead of pointless bickering.
(I mean, honestly, is an internet debate about God really going to change anyone's minds?)

Seems like most Chinese plants would be in big cities. They don't have the transportation for factory workers to travel out to the country every day.
So therefore, maybe it usually IS cheaper to find a small rural/suburban town in the US to set up shop.
