Haven't a clue, but I'll bet he wasted much more cash on the fine USFWS nailed him with. (Tee hee hee...)

Yeah, I'd have to agree. I've been wanting to vote for McCain for years (I really wanted him to win back in 2000, but he crashed and burned during the primary). I'm a regestered Republican, but I've never been able to stomach any of the candidates the party has nominated. The lunatic asylum wing of ...

Oh fabulous. That's even worse than her stance on ANWR.

Y'know that's a good question. Blood is a biohazardous material, so I would think that it would have to be disposed of in some way that's regulated by various authorities. Considering how expensive that probably is, I'd bet they would sell the stuff for the cost of the barrel and nothing else. Heck,...

So far it hasn't been. The Federals got the repairs done in time, barely. The only screw up was that there was some overtopping* where it wasn't expected. *literally where waves go over the tops of the barriers. They thought they were high enough. Yeah, that's another thing: The video CNN has been ...

... Is it just an urban legend, or "a good story", or was there actually an American President who had a sign on his desk saying "The buck stops here"? Indeed there was. President Harry Truman. 33rd president, (1945-1953). Democrat, Missouri. The only U.S. president to authorize...

It's state and local government's job to ensure that levies and are in good condition, not the federal governments. In many places that is so (such as most of the Sacrament River Delta here in California), and in terms of total levee mileage in southern Louisiana that is probably mostly true, but a...

I've noticed that the great thing about listening to people in law enforcement is they always have the best stories. You can't make this stuff up.

I blame Walt Disney and his cartoon "Steamboat Willie". It starred Mickey Mouse. It was also the first sound cartoon. Anywhere. That, I believe, got things going. Why blame? The "cute" anthro phenemenon which got started with Walt Disney Studios was revolutionary in at least one...

SPOILER ALERT: This isn't what it sounds like, but I'm vaguely curious to see how many people click here after reading the post subject line. Anywho... I was taking a criminal forensics class and the professor teaching it is one of the higher-ups at the Alameda County (California) Sheriff Department...

Absolutely. I agree it could go any way. I also agree that most likely, if somebody saw a real werewolf, they'd probably be too frightened to come forward for fear of retaliation. If they did come forward, nobody would believe them. Additionally, they probably wouldn't be in any position to do anyth...

I saw the most bizarre thing on Animal Planet (I think). There was this show about neat pet tricks. There was this dog (it was an Aussie Shepherd, I think) that could go over eight foot walls like they weren't there. This dog would get maybe ten feet of a running (loping) start... and he wasn't even...

I think magic and werewolves (in the same story at least) isn't a big problem as long as the magic side of the equation doesn't get overdone. In my opinion, magic as the explaination for a werewolf's powers make a certain amount of sense. People throwing fireballs and shooting lightning does not (or...

Yeah, I just got back from "A" school at Lackland Air Force Base a couple of months ago, which is why I've been gone forever. Not that I post much anyway. I'm taking an extended holiday while the hiking in the mountains is still good, though I'm sure something will come up and six months l...

I believe you missed this point. Even if there were more werewolves in a forest than squirrels, just staying out of sight for a week or so would get the Sheriff interested in other things. Especially if the Sheriff were one of those Werewolves... (that is a very Alpha position, y'know) :wink: Tee-h...

Hey, an interesting thought just occurred to me. Human shampoo and dog shampoo is chemically different, and for a reason. The Ph composition of a dog's skin is different than that of a human's. Hence, the two different formulas. Now it won't kill a dog to put human shampoo on it, nor will it harm a ...

So, any LA area werewolf fans need a roommate? My only requirements are... No A-holes. I like NICE people. No drug users ( or heavy drinkers or smokers ) No LOUD people. No super-slobs No super-furry furries ( regular furries, sure no prob ) Someone who respects my privacy. Well jeez, if you're goi...

"We're all here today because Chef has been such an important part of our lives. A lot of us don't agree with the choices Chef has made in the past few days. Some of us feel hurt and confused that he seemed to turn his back on us. But we can't let the events of the last week take away the memor...

Five thou Wulfen could make such a hash of sightings that any Smoothskins who saw them would be thought of as "special", in the bad way. Seeing the same Wulf in five places makes things a lot more believable than seeing, say, five Wulfen in one place; drinking beer. With five thou. Wulfen...

With the new technologies (making hybrids and etc) today do you think that in the near future will be able to create a werewolf ? I think that is interesting for the scientists , to merge a human and animal in one creature ! Could science reach the point at which it would be possible to create a hu...

Hell will freeze over before the average American would get that much exercise in a day. True, sadly. Anyway, if and when I ever get the resources together to pull it off, here's my little plan to reduce my energy dependency: If I ever get a house, fill every square foot of roof space with PV panel...

Imagine using your toilet to generate hydro power (installing a small set of turbines between the tank of the toilet and the bowl). *Knock, knock, knock, knock* Hey! What are you doing in there? I'm... uh... just... uh... producing hydro power. Y'know, saving the planet. Must... resist... temptatio...

Yeah, but what's the alternative? Put it another way: What do you mean by "introducing power generating mechanisms"? Unless you're talking about wind or PV, then you're basically stuck with a diesel (or maybe natural gas) generator. All that does is substitute one problem for a whole set o...

It isn't that we are too dependent on energy - it's that we depend on a enormous amount of infrastructure. A political parable might be we're communist when it comes to energy. What needs to take place is more privatisation. By localizing energy suppliers and energy users, facilities would need to ...

Five thousand ( sample only) people would form a micro-society with far more control over access and discovery only five people (who would spend most of their time moving rather than hiding*) Five thousand people would enable the "Society" to have informants in all the lines of communicat...
