Some 2000 years ago Eratosthenes measured the diameter of the world.

Since then, virtually anybody worthy of the term "scientist" accepted the data and a round Earth.

It was ignorant "skeptics" who denied the science and the data who thought the world was flat.

It's the same with global warming. The data shows it's real, and mostly caused by us. Even Richard Lindzen accepts that.

Two summaries of the mountain of data:

And the resulting consensus of scientists:

URGENT! PLEASE READ TILL THE END!!!!!


I'm an ORDINARY guy, I have friends and enemies..

WHENEVER I'M TOLD SOMETHING POSITIVE (THAT I LIKE) ABOUT ME, IT KEEPS ECHOING IN MY MIND AND SO, I BECOME BAD IN IT.

For example, if I'm told I'm good in something, I get TOO CONFIDENT and that ends it!

I've just taken 2 online personality test :
What's wrong with you? What type of boyfriend are you?

I got that I'm too attractive and that's what gets some people being REALLY jealous from me (which is right) and I'm the "laid-down"boyfriend who is really cool..

The problem is
WHENEVER I'M TOLD SOMETHING POSITIVE (THAT I LIKE) ABOUT ME, IT KEEPS ECHOING IN MY MIND AND SO, I BECOME BAD IN IT.

What can I do? I don't wanna lose this by having it stay in my mind + I don't wanna tell myself the opposite as I'm destroying my self-esteem?!?!

plz help

I saw it on the news. He was a dishwasher and he managed to save up all that money. The day finally arrived where he would go home to El Salvador with the money and put it towards a house. Well he didn't claim it at the airport and now the US government is ceasing 100% of it and they told him to leave the country by January.

He said "I no longer like America" LOL I don't blame you bro.

My PC crashed this week. So I rebuilt everything. I have a valid XP prof. code and have performed all the necessary steps to get it running again.. When I was finished all seemed okay. Now a dialogue box is popping up saying I have unrecognized versions, warning of another crash. Can any one tell me how to fix this problem? I am also getting additional warnings to put my original CD into my drive. I guess it is supposed to find some files. It never does. Please assist. Thanks in advance. William.

Hello, Reading a newspaper, I got to ask myself why people simultaneously hold financial assets and liabilities.
Do you know why?
Is there any advantage to doing so? If so, what is it?
I am looking forward to having good answers from you guys.
Thank you for reading!

Above the planet, on a wing & a prayer
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly, out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling sky
Tonguetied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Is that the feeling you get from religion or drug use? Or both?

Hi, my car is goofy!!!
My O/D light is flashing on and off, at times..

When its not flashing I have no 2nd gear, and it shifts to 3rd, which is hard to accelerate fast when switching from 1st. I have to let off the gas at 3,000 RPMs for the car to shift, or it will not shift, I can take it up to 5,000RPM's no shift (Unless I let off gas)

Now when the O/D light flashes, It shifts into second, but weak, and then 3rd, and I dont have to let off the gas.. 4th gear is also sometimes GOOD, and sometimes not, when the O/D light is off 4th gear works awesome 65mph at 2,100RPMs when the O/D light is flashing 65mph at 3,100RPMs..

I am getting no Check engine readings except Catalytic Convertor readings..

I did get Gear 2 and Gear 4 incorrect ratio, but I cleared codes, and there gone...

Confusing!

Also when I switch from Reverse to Drive the engine jumps..

Let me know what you think...

Trying to ease the guilt they feel? Trying to make themselves feel better?
I found out from my best friend whom I've been friends with all my life that 8 people are searching for me on reunion.com. One person even called everywhere, including my best friend and one of my aunts searching for me. The person who called made a snide remark to my best friend when my father and grandmother died six days apart over six years ago. Then I ran into them 5 years ago and they just ignored me. It has been over six years since all this happened. When I moved a year ago I made sure nobody but my best friend would find me and she could warn me about intrusions. What is it with this person and the other people who are searching for me? Why the heck do they care now? Do they really need to ease their guilt?
