You know what I thought about when I read through the last pages? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103%? Here's a little math that might prove helpful. What makes life 100%? If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Then, H A R D W O R K 8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98% K N O W L E D G E 11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96% But, A T T I T U D E 1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100% And, B U L L S H I T 2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103% So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bullshit will put you over the top. And look how far A S S K I S S I N G 1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 118%

ouch!! that sounds kind of dark! BTW: dont we have a gothic freak here that we can make fun of?

Look in the mirror when you smile. You have teeth intended for cutting, rending, and grinding. Â Not just flat teeth for mulching. Also, our enamel is generally too light for a vegetarian only diet. Â Most vegetarian animals take in a lot of grit and dirt with their greens, and that wears the enamel and teeth down far quicker. Not that being a vegetarian is bad... it's just not really practical in anything other than a hightly advanced society. Â The average vegan or vegetarian wouldnt last too long in a pre industrial hunter/gatherer society. Â <span id='postcolor'> Nice try! Actually our teeth are made as universal tools rather than killing weapons. We can eat everything, it would not mean any great disadvantage for a strict vegetarian. Ask the monkeys! They eat meat rather seldom! But they do! I think eating a bit less meat can be healthy indeed. But they need those teeth since they have a great choice of foods (grinding is basically only important for animals that have enzynes to seperate cellulosis such as horses, goats a.s.o). Especially since meat has become such a high-demand product and we expect it to be cheap, animals suffer under mass-production. (e.g. chicken in those ugly batteries). If they would be more costly people would eat less and the production standards could become tighter. But if you give me this fundamentalist bullshit that we dont have the right to kill animals then you make me smile.... BTW: Â Â in switzerland they eat dogs too!

To me that is a perversion itself! Why cant it be called something like: "eat all you like"! Somehow it reflects clearly a civilisation illness! Dont you think? I think a great part of the overweighted Americans are simply doing one great mistake. What you need is the nutritional variation now and then. That doesnt mean variation in tastes such as chinese, italian, ice-cream or whatsoever. I mean eating meat and butter is as important as eating olive-oil, which in contrast to meat has unsaturated fats. It doesnt help to eat apples and oranges if you dont, now and then, eat carrots and pepers! On the other hand I dont like this overcreated Beauty-dream that is omni-existant in e.g. California! Meat has in fact important components that can be substituted but you need to eat a lot! Low fat stuff such as magerine can be harmful because the fats have been artifically made unsaturated can cause cancer), or Vitamin additives (no proof yet that the body can actually use those refined vitamins). Just experiment a bit with ingredients and you are fine!! (a chef sais! a bit overweight doesnt mean Jackshit!

Â <!--emo& No the reason why the EU is so pissed of is pretty clear. It has rather less to do with the decision to rise taxes by 30% but with the steel industry in Europe. In my country there are regions which have been focusing on cole and steel production for 2 centuries. And those companies have become the only employer around. And of course there are other industries that parasite from the huge amount of steel-workes. In the last decades those regions started to suffer terribly, besides steel being used less (more plastics) it can also be produced cheaper in poland or russia and there is no other employer around who could take the great amount of workers that no longer are needed. Cities that once were the capital of 'work' become desasterous ghost cities with uncredible high percentages of unemployment. Fine for the young, they can go and work elsewhere in the country but the old never did anything else than produce steel. Now we risk to loose even the last source of income for those workers in the 'forgotten' industry. They suffered enough and were happy they kept their jobs, now you finish them off! I absolutely agree that it is illegal to rise import-taxes to foster national products. And it has never worked. The US tried that with Asian cars before and only harmed itself. This is one of the strategies that has a 'known' boomerang effect. But probably those disadvantages will appear after Bush is gone! Well, Wobble, in the end it is you and me that have to pay more money for products! The end consumer looses!

I asked all the physics-geeks i knew but none could come up with a reasonable answer<span id='postcolor'> Yes it is possible and you are not the first one with this idea. It has even been put into practice already but I think didnt quite succeed! I can imagine why! Can you store alcohol in a dry matter? And where you store the freshy bubbles? All you get back from a powder would be a funny beer with fake bubbles. There is another solution coming from the brits, same stupid idea, put the stuff into water but then let it rest for a week (Miracle-brewery). The only thing that can be done is simply reduce the percentage of water. As you know Coke is produced elsewhere, only the syrup is transported to Germany and then gets mixed here with water and compressed to get the bubbles. The same can already be done with wine (cheap shit). I think in Las Vegas they got bars where they only buy the Coke syrup and mix it in their pipelines to spare space! The bartender holds some kind of dispenser in his hand and types into a computersystem (e.g. Micros) what longdrink he wants! The system itsef will mix the drink and all he needs to do is hold the dispenser into a glass! Saves work, barspace, reduces fraud, standardises portion sizes and reduces spillage...bla bla bla
