Maybe they'll adapt and they'll start to live in the jungle and they'll become jungle bears.

Like on Lost, sort of.

Is the oulook bad for Venice, then?

Let's just say it will simply sink in a bunch of years.

That will be very sad.

The netherlands will drown too, my town will be the new coast.
Bye bye King_buzzo

"In November 2002, the American PBS science program NOVA aired a program on "Sinking City of Venice". The program reminded us that the city of Venice, Italy has been slowly sinking for at least the last several centuries. The level of much of the city has now gotten to the point of being critical. If nothing is done, the city will certainly be totally destroyed by tides and storm waves within a few decades. The fact that global warming has also begun to melt the polar ice caps, which causes the sea level to also be rising, compounds the problems of their sinking city.
The city leaders have gotten to the point of being desperate for a solution. In recent years, they have begun pursuing an incredibly expensive and unusual project to try to preserve their city. The concept involves the installation of enormous movable steel "gates" under the waters of their lagoon. The idea is that, when high tides are coming in, these gates would be raised to block off the Mediterranean from their lagoon, much like the concept of the doors of a lock of a canal.
Their application is very different from that of a lock, and massive engineering has been proceeding for some time. By the time they expect to be able to start installing their gates, which they hopefully expect in around ten years, they will spend at least two to three billion euros. That approach has very serious potential problems, in addition to the enormous price tag. It still involves the city continuing to sink and the sea level rising due to global warming. Even if they pay for and install those gates, and even if they work as the promoters claim they will, few people expect them to have useful effect beyond two or three decades. At that point, Venice's problems will be even more severe, assuming it still exists, because it will be virtually entirely below the average sea level."

Venice will become the new atlantis.

it would be nice to go scuba diving through st. marco's square, but the water is just filthy....bleah, I'm sure if you fell in there you'd come out with half encycopaedia of diseases.

speaking of polar bears

Cheer up everyone.

I've been listening to this Straight Lines song by Silverchair on repeat since I woke up.

I like to feel officious.

Why is that, Danny?

I don't know. I just like having things in order and using tape and paperclips and writing letters. I have a typewriter because it looks better than printed-out word documents.

Yeah, I need a new ribbon for my typewriter.

I totally just got home from skating (after watching Clerks II) with this cool-ass girl I like. Wooo.

youre such a ladies man. i hear about different girls everyday.

I drank a beer today. ONE BEER. Then I wrote two songs
The beer sucked to. I hate beer

Proper beer is nice. I like wheat beer.

when i get to about 4 or 5 i start writing songs.

Most people just start 'singing' songs at 4 or 5 beers. It's cool that you write them instead.

Yeah, it's pretty cool
It was a Coors Light. Bleh! It's just odd.. Cause I never write songs with music and words.
Get well soon Danny Boy

i write them down and then realize what ive done the next morning and use the paper for starting a fire to keep me warm. gotta love those nights.

I may be a 'ladies man,' but that's it! Aside from getting to know them, I have no luck!


Beer=flippin' gross. I would never be able to finish one.

Will do. If I can pull a sick day tomorrow I might get around to recording a couple of things... we shall see..

that's a shame, really :(

hi danny! i like that feeling, but alas.. my room has no room for any kind of officious settings.

this contest thing my english teacher wants us to enter sounds really cool, but i don't know if i have time to write a four-page story. hmm.

Try it, you might win.

yeah, i'd like the cash. sometime next week when i have basically even less of a bedtime i think (we're allowed to use excerpts from a longer piece we're writing, if it exists) i'll turn in part of the story i kind of having going.

Good, you should definitely enter. I bought 5 vynil records today.

Jade, if you could, I want to read (and if not this story) SOMETHING of yrs! PM me or somethign!:)
Vic, whaddit you done gotted?

the office = greatest show on earth

No way, grey's anatomy. I don't care what you say, watch it for 10 minutes and you'll cry.

my mom is watching it right now & it sucks.

not my thing, but that one chick is hot (katherine something)

dom- ben franklin's winking at pam slayed me.

katherine heigl? yeah. i really liked her on "roswell" too (which i still watch all the time, cheesy as it is).

I watched that before it was cool. (Honestly, not anymore though.) But the best show on is Arrested Development.

no, the office is.

No, I refuse to compromise. It's AD FTW!
