The English Channel is a drowned river valley. Until a few thousand years ago there was dry land between England and France. So even today nowhere in the Channel is much more than one hundred feet deep (even with rising sea levels due to global warming it would not be much more than 150 feet). And many dams are higher than that. So could the Channel be reclaimed like much of the Netherlands? Perhaps it could be used for overspill housing for London as well as transport.

Presumably one could provide a ship canal. Also discharge facilities for the nuclear reactors at Gravelines and Dungeness.

As well as technical feasibility (I would like to know details of how the damming would be done) perhaps your answer could consider:-
1. How long the engineering would take.
2. What might the cost be.
3. What could the environmental effects be.

If you have a car loan, do you make extra payments on it, and if so, how much? What are the benefits of paying off your car early versus putting the money in your emergency fund?

I'm trying to determine the best thing to do in my situation (I owe $6,300 on my 2002 car at 4.39 percent and I'm earning 4.4% in ING, not including other funds in CDs making higher rates). In a couple of months when my personal debt is gone, I was planning to make extra payments on my car to retire it early. What would you do?

While Bush wants to escalate the war and send thousands more troops into Iraq indefinitely, the Democrats would rather talk about lobbying reform than stand up to him.

Cindy Sheehan and company reminded them that America elected them to stop the war. Do you think they will get the message?

Even though the price of DSL has dropped, the accelerated dial-up prices are a little lower---but is the speed comparable to DSL? I'd like to know if It's worth it or if I should just go ahead and get DSL.

My car was repoed in 1998. It is no longer on my credit report. I got married in 2002. I have a deposition to go to regarding this issue. I am not employed and haven't been since I got married. Will they make my new husband pay? Can they take our car or house?

I know if I was writting my own biography I would include all of the great moments of my life, my Travel experiences, my Wedding story...etc

I would exclude (my deepest darkest secret)....

I used to go out to the movies with my fiance before we got married (My parents would be very upset if they knew) because I'm not allowed to date.... So I'll let them live their lives thinking that I'm a good innocent girl... (which I am in the american context)....

She has ALWAYS used her litter box but just recently she has started to pee on my bathroom carpets and some places around the house. She even pees on the carpet in my babys room. WHY? She still uses her litter box, just also uses other places. My husband and I just had a baby 9mos ago, could this be it? We also have another female cat who does none of this. Its only this one. She also has started to attack the other cat. Do you think she is feeling neglected? Please help...
