Time for an update on sunspot activity. Cycle 24 is still delayed and the significance of that will be explained in the linked pages.

I'd say enjoy the reading, but it's not good news, so I shall not be vindictive.

I'd rather put my faith in cold hard numbers, verified by peer review and obtained by the scientific method than the inarticulate rantings of a bunch of dead goatherders.

The human caused "Global Warming" scam is absolutely rediculous. I wonder what Al G will have to say about it in ten years. Honestly; he doesn't care. He owns a hedge fund which sells carbon offsets. SUCKERS buy into this nonsense.

All these examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap; it just illustrates how outrageous some prices are.
You will be really shocked by the last one (at least, I was)!!!



Think a gallon of gas is expensive?




This makes one think, and also puts things into perspective.



Diet Snapple, 16 oz, $1.29 ... $10.32 per gallon!

Lipton Ice Tea, 16 oz, $1.19 ... $9.52 per gallon!

Gatorade, 20 oz, $1.59 ..... $10.17 per gallon!

Ocean Spray, 16 oz, $1.25 .. $10.00 per gallon!



Brake Fluid, 12 oz, $3.15 .... $33.60 per gallon!

Vick's Nyquil, 6 oz, $8.35 ... $178.13 per gallon!

Pepto Bismol,4 oz, $3.85 . $123.20 per gallon!

Whiteout, 7 oz, $1.39 ......... $25.42 per gallon!

Scope, 1.5 oz, $0.99 ....$84.48 per gallon!


And this is the REAL KICKER.

Evian water, 9 oz, $1.49 ...$21.19 per gallon!
$21.19 for a gallon of WATER!!
and the buyers don't even know the source
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

Ever wonder why computer printers are so cheap? So they can hook you for the ink. Someone calculated the cost of the ink at, you won't believe it but it's true; $5,200 a gal.
$5200 A GALLON!!!

So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on water, Scope, Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or, God forbid, Printer Ink!!!!!
hehe

You have a serious side, and your concern is noted - also in "oil", what a ****** up world we have made - take humans out and this place is very pleasant - we humans are a total disappointment to God - any God would righteously be really pissed off with the outcome so far... in all directions...

I cannot think of many people who would deserve any chance of ascension to heaven. - - Especially exclude any suicide bombers - taking life is against ALL religious teachings. - - The fingers on my left hand would be more than sufficient...
