Earth Hour Causes Global Warming
EARTH Hour countdown:
When asked to extinguish electricity, people turn to candlelight. Candles seem natural, but are almost 100 times less efficient than incandescent light globes, and more than 300 times less efficient than fluorescent lights. If you use one candle for each extinguished globe, you’re essentially not cutting CO2 at all, and with two candles you’ll emit more CO2. Moreover, candles produce indoor air pollution 10 to 100 times the level of pollution caused by all cars, industry and electricity production.

Dunno, but I developed a fear of Michael Caine films after seeing The Black Windmill.

Whoops, sorry, I saw the light had been left on and wondered in. I thought this was the huge cock thread.

Also, I do like the picture from the cover of Flashback the game on Flashback the feature. Nice one, Anorak.
I suppose someone will come along and comment on the environment eventually; but by then the MV/LV box will have been changed by the passage of time, and my comment above will make even less sense than it does now.
Or the sun will have grown fat and greedy from the consumption of its own mass and will have expanded to devour the inner planets - including our own blue-green marble - before becoming just another supernovae bruise on the battered face of the universe.
You know, whichever happens first.

Oh, MOST VIEWED/LEAST VIEWED box up there on the right, you - what a story of human emotion and interest you tell.
Few like to read or talk of the environment, but everyone loves to hear about giant cocks, fever-dreams of androgyny made real, and how braindead dead Jade Goody and her followers are.
You are the panoply of human experience, MOST VIEWED/LEAST VIEWED box - and I love all the more for it.
