Zeppelin-Enthusiast Site

J�rg Lohmann�s Zeppelin-Enthusiast�s Site You can't say I don't have varied interests. I understand that the new Zeppelin Co. has delivered a passenger carrying tourist Zepplin to a Japanese company. Another interesting Zep. factoid is the possible cause of the Hindinberg "Oh, the Humanity" (hear also the WKRP Thanksgiving Turkey Drop audio) disaster. A NASA hydrogen scientist investigated the crash as an outside hobby interest. He learned that the dope holding the skin to the frame was the same stuff as is used in today's solid rocket fuel. Not a good choice!

ClimateArk -- Climate Change Portal

Links to all that is climate change. Note that Russia is passing the Kyoto treaty...it is easy for them as they produce much less pollution than the baseline time as their economy is very slow. They can now sell pollution credits for pollution they no longer produce. The European Union is giving they lots for signing. Interesting!ClimateArk -- Climate Change Portal

The Skeptics Society and Skeptic Magazine

I heard the editor of the Skeptic Magazine interviewed on Art Bell Sunday night. While I love off-the-wall weirdness and suspect that there might be something to UFO's, paranormal and related stuff, one must remain skeptical of fantastic claims. You might want to look at this site.The Skeptics Society and Skeptic Magazine

Ice Shelves: Rapid response to climate change

The last climate change subject noted was the error in the computer program that purported to show a close connection between global warming and human activities. While the famed "hockey stick" model may be discredited, there is still rapid climate change. Watch out for the Antartic ice sheet! Ice Shelves: Rapid response to climate change

CVO Menu - News and Current Events

St. Helens Goes Off!I vistied St. Helens today, Sunday. The warnings are at Level 3, imminent eruption, but alas, nada. I did see a bit of what looked like steam, but then again, it might have been a cloud. Maybe next time!

El Guapo Speaks!

"Sio credesse che mia risposta fosse
A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero,
Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo"


But, of course, you won't! Nonetheless, you should be entertained before you shuffle off this mortal coil. That is what I am here for. I hope to present to you the gamut from the silly to the sublime, from the comic to the cosmic. So, hold on to your hats and away we go!

Doom!
