    Funny how Hammond's VW Polo BLUEschanagains or whatever got about 80 mpg, and yet, is not even mentioned!


    Think about it. All those cars will need to recharge after 250 miles max. Yes, the Bio-Trike is nice, but do you really want to travel in a little cramped Rocket looking thing?


    CNG Car= Fail. How about Peel P90 instead? It probably is just as comfortable and almost as efficient.

    Oh, morning television. It's starting to feel like it's gradually morphing into a Broadway musical. The people on there are so artificially happy and cheerful, I keep expecting them to start using "Jazz Hands" and breaking into song at any moment. Wait... allow me.


    /cue intro music


    To our morning TV hosts...


    If you were gay, that'd be okay
    I mean 'cuz hey! I'd like you a-ny-way
    Because you see, If it were me
    I would feel free
    To say that I was gay, (But I'm not gay.)


    If you were queer, I'd still be here,
    Year after year because you're dear to me
    And I know that you would accept me too
    If I told you today
    Hey! Guess what, I'm gay! (But I'm not gay.)


    Ten points to the first person who can identify the source of that song without resorting to Google.

    layabout (sorry, reply button is gone in IE6 and it's like replying via cell phone text message):


    On a dare in college, I did an exposition essay on hidden messages in movies. I managed to do about 6 pages on how Goonies was a gay coming-of-age movie. I think we came up with this idea while intoxicated. The professor didn't see the satire, but still gave me an A. (lots of mentions of the use of tunnels, being repulsed by girls, and on and on). Wish I'd kept a copy.

    @Cognitive_Friction: I wrote my Stats 130 final exam in crayon. Figured I was going to fail anyways, none of the class had heard a word the prof had said, since he liked to face the blackboard, draw away, and mumble to himself; so If I was going to fail, might as well do it in style. Actually came out with a B-.


    @The Name's Ash78, Housewares: My workaround for IE6 is to perpetually go in and clear my cache. I have to do it for about every 3rd page I view, but once I do that and hit "reload", it seems to work fine. Tools -> Internet Options -> Temporary Internet Files -> Delete files

    And yes, that segment had some homosexual overtones. It might have been okay until they referenced Top Gun, one of the gayest movies ever made (after Goonies and Brokeback Mountain)

    I kind of want that Biotrike, for exactly the reason stated in the video.


    "That son of a bitch cut me off!"

    "I'll hit the brakes, he'll fly right by."


    Then I'd probably lose all my friends after refusing to answer to anything besides "Maverick". Oh well.

    That's the whole problem with this energy crisis--people keep looking for some "disruptive technology" to replace the ICE. I know it makes for nice TV segments, but I agree with Matt...all this pie-in-the-sky stuff ignores the magnificent, yet incremental, changes being made right in front of us, and at affordable prices.

    Plus, it's GMA.

    I belong to Amnesty International but I would (almost) pay money to see horrible things happen to the smug, pompous, self-centered, patronizing, phony, egomaniacal, manipulative, tragedy vulture and feel-good pinheads that populate morning television.
