Ahh, but to ignore the fact that my post was intended as a very mild joke, a garlic model could serve as a many layered pie, creating a number of distinct "slices" with their own layering, laying down a system in which they can be protected from one another. A wedge for NASA and other science stuff, which always gets shortchanged with the current system, you got your education, a wedge for healthcare, medicare etc, a wedge for the proactive support for government workers (for instance, in 15 years of police service my father is making less than one more dollar an hour than when he first started despite the ever-rising cost of living) and whatever you need for actual govenrment maitanance. Whatever is left is divided between savings and military. I know my model is very poorly thought out, but I'm tired, I only just started thinking about it, and this is barely serious for me. Still, I'm interested. Plus, garlic's great for fighting cholesterol. ----edit----- looking back at everyhting, I now see how far off base I am, I was thinking of a completely different set of issues. I'm sorry. I'm going to go get my desperately needed sleep now.

Well, in modern days the zebras main predator is the lion, whose analogues were widespread during the ice age in which horses flourished. They're taken down occasionally by smaller pack hunters such as hyena, and croc's get um too. But since the decline of megafauna and their predators in the last few thousand years, "horses" other than zebra and asses have been restricted to the rare Steppe Horses of Asia. Presumably wolves could prey on them, cosidering they're capable of hunting bison. Sorry, I'm rambling.

bismuth crystals are the one's that form funky geometric patterns, right?

If they get agitated at us and start throwing suiciders at us left and right in droves they'll eventually take thmeselves out. Let's insult them a bit and get the wheel turning

All I'll be saying; how can something that Mr. Rogers was good at be immoral? If so, all my television-based childhood teachings might as well be tossed out the window.

Could the model be garlic instead?

The last time I got my guy new socks he slipped in the kitchen

Japan never fails to scare the *$@! outa me. And for that, kudos.

the "neck" is marginally longer

We'll always love you IMM

You marry um anyway and go about your business until the divorce and the next marriage, as is the american way. What if Jesus Christ reincarnate was born into a traveling troop of circus clowns?

heh, just don't blame Cap'n if you don't like what you find there

The cradle of diversity, the heart of new discovery. Primordial Edens unto themselves. Wheeeeee!!!

Simpsons, Friends, Scrubs, South Park, Dave the Barbarian -edit- gah, i forgot, Whose Line is it Anyway has to be added to that list... but it's not a sitcom, it's Improv... geh, either way strike Dave from my original choices.

we haven't had to use our heater once this winter, but our air conditioning bill has dropped substantially, since we've only been using at the height of the afternoon heat.

Your corpse would be used as fertilizer during the terraforming What if it turned out God looked like Christina Aguilera in "Dirrty"?

would-be Serial Killers would have to vent their frustrations through whittling or knitting. What if strawberry became the dominant flavor in icecream?

Yeah, the ZX2 is supposedly more reliable than some of the other varieties, but they're not common themselves because they're so rough on idle that most owners returned them out of irritation. My friend got somewhat like 310,000 out of hers.

1999 Ford Escort ZX2, blue with 90,000 miles. The only problem is that the thing only has a cassette player. Everything from the windows to the sunroof are power operated, yet the damn thing has a GODDAMN CASSETTE PLAYER!!!!! It was affordable with good mileage, yet cute. I'd want a good four-wheel drive with lots of luggage space for those rough mountain roads when I'm out camping in the desert or mountains. I'd love a hybrid with good mileage without trading too much power and reliability.

this article Well I feel silly.

This is all well and good, but how'll she react when he cheats on her? And will the dolphin have to pay alimony after the divorce?

Murder rates would sky-rocket What if clogs were the official footwwear of the Olypmics?

We'd have to squeeze to determine fatness-levels What if Michael Jackson had been a powerful Egyptian Pharaoh?

We'd go overboard on things like "sarcasm" "dry wit" "orgasmic" "righeous fury" and "constipation" What if broccoli took popcorn's place in cinematic culture?

Does that method usually have kinks?
