Aquadoc really outdid himself this year. Read it.
Oh, and this is NOT an April Fools, but it seems to be. A Congressman from Georgia worries that Guam may capsize under the weight of too many humans. He’s kidding, right?
The Story of Bottled Water
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Aguanomics Blog
This story — and the video below — is good. Manufactured demand (aka conspicuous consumption), competition from tap and fountain water, bottles that take oil to make and end up as pollution, and propaganda over quality are all important themes. My only disagreement is with Leonard’s call for […]

It omits agriculture.
It projects reductions in urban demand by hydrological region (a concept that few citizens have heard of). That means that people in Imperial Valley will be forced to […]

Back and forth New York Mets’ shortstop Jose Reyes went, going from a mysterious absence from training to optimism that he would be in the Mets’ lineup on Opening Day to, eventually, landing on the disabled list as expected. Still, he returned to the field in March, […]

Ben Stiller in Greenberg
Few in Hollywood can perform with consistency on both sides of the camera the way Ben Stiller can.
If Zoolander didn’t establish that, Tropic Thunder certainly confirmed Stiller’s dual talent, underscored by Robert Downey Jr.’s supporting-actor Oscar nomination for his obsessed Tropic Thunder thespian.
Besides […]
