That's neither what i wrote nor what i implied. Yes, water vapor is a natural occuring climate gas, but so is CO². The problem is not how much vapor gets released by natural processes but the additional vapor released by humans. Water, in liquid or gaseous form, can store a lot of energy in the...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas Third sentence: "The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone." I'm pretty sure that's exactly how climate change works :D

Probably because water can hold such a high amount of energie, making water vapor a more potent climate gas then CO². Also, they may have found a different use for Uranium and Plutonium, so they may consider splitting thoose elements into lighter ones foolish since there is a limited suply of...

reading this just reminds me how much i hate frank millers style of writing women, namely: change everyone with 2 x-chromosomes into a whore -.- good casting choice, lets see how the writing shakes out since regardless of talent, if an actor/actress gets handed a turd, there is not much to...

thank you escapist, tomorow is our DnD night, now i know what i will serve the group :-)

It was Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in the german movie "Nosferatu" from 1922. He allegedly did it to avoid a copyright infringement claim by the family of Bram Stoker, but to no avail since said family sued anyway and won the court case, leaving us with only one copy surviving...

i did not forget it, i just didn't remember that the english language is at times somewhat imprecise. see, in my native tongue, german, an egg ("ei" in german) is only an egg if it has a hard shell that is mostly made from calcium while the eggs of amphibians and fishes are called "laich" wich...

the chicken-egg thing is a misunderstanding, not a paradox since birds are only just a special kind of dinosaurs and dinsaurs laid eggs before they evolved into birds, so the egg came first. furthermore, the egg is older than dinosaurs since reptiles laid eggs before they evolved into dinos...

keep in mind that the "Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Finanzen" allready has the 'right' to store your data for up to 10 years for the purpose of collecting the taxes and the enforcing of tax laws. the recent decision of the Bundesanwaltschaft to investigate the taping of chancellor...

*sarcasm mode start* so we get a bishonen boy and 4 women? how are manly men suposed to enjoy this game if there is no 30something grizled straight white dude who lost his girlfriend to the villian and has to defeat him through the power of rage? *sarcasm mode end* usually i am happy if i...

You may want to check your sources, in the official statements they rather clearly stated that, in addition to Ep I-VI, the clone wars movie and booth TV-series are canon. They also stated that they will continue to publish allready existing EU-material under a new sub-brand, so nothing is...

Well, the article stated that the unit formations only act once every minute, or all 10 rounds, following the old D&D rule that one turn equals 6 seconds; which was extremely weird in some circumstances, lvl 16+ fighter with haste could attack 5 times in 6 seconds, and that is an example without...

lets hope they lift a few good ideas from the EU; it was at times not even consistent from book to book (*cough* calista) so having some kind of committee that at least ensures that the continuity between the individual works is preserved doesn't seem to be the worst of all possible ideas. it...

so, a dean stalked one of the teachers, overreacted to a picture the teacher posted, was unable to give a rational justification for his reaction and the teacher is the one that has to see a psychiatrist? i don't know how this is handled in the US, but if the dean of my school tried to behave...

why do you use a picture and the nickname of the arguably most level headed german chancellor? i realize the name makes for a great pun in english, so if that is the reason, consider yourself successful.
