Odds 'n Sods:
Simon M. noticed a
cool "Bulletproof Urban Assault Vehicle on Commander
Zero's blog.
The Commander 's wry comment: "Try not to think what a vehicle
made out of 3/16" sheet steel weighs and what it'll do to your
engine and suspension. Especially your suspension of disbelief since
this
thing
wouldn't stop a .223. Points for style though."

Jay in Florida mentioned a
fascinating thread over at the S&W Forums on what happens to bullet hit
bodies by a LEO Medical Morgue examiner. Quite valuable information.

Its no wonder that the liberal do-gooders have such successful petition
drives! Watch this
brief video on Banning Water, from Penn
& Teller.

InyoKern sent us this piece: Ethanol
plants come with hidden cost: Water. His comment: "This is a little
eerie. Right about when the Midwest needs to bring back small non-mechanized
(family) farming to deal with Peak
Oil food production
(which won't work at Agricorp scale). Ethanol requires 3 gallons of water
to make 1 gallon
of ethanol. And the very best (most efficient) methods of production
only yield 1.3 units of energy for each unit of energy put into the system
to make it. So you're not getting much bang for your buck."
