Well I have the slight suspicion it's Ken Deffeyes, remember he predicted PO for thanksgiving 2005...

A tribute to a PO-icon... :)

And did you see the event countdown on the left? It's like the doomsday clock... 8O

Is it Thanksgiving or Peak Oil Day? Can't you turn turkey into oil through thermal depolymerization? Thanks anyway to Ken Deffeyes for picking this Thanksgiving. It really is ok so far. We are thankful for having lived through the time of cheap oil. And we have the leftovers for a while, just like after thanksgiving!

Click Prof Deffeye's picture to see a recent transcript including an explanation of his Turkey day prediction.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

The scene from the movie that cracks me up the most, besides the German Nihilists screaming "I Fcuk You' was when the perv was polishing the bowling balls. If you've seen The Big Lebowski you know what I'm talking about. :lol: Overall, a remarkable flick!

Lol I love that movie... Also remember the "Jesus" of bowling in his purple suit, played by John Turturro, or the friends of the Dude, Steve Buscemi and unforgettable John Goodman as the dimwit Nam-vet Walter...
Or the porn movie the German Nihilists made! Hilarious...

So Aaron got a new Avatar, freaks me out! It's like "It" from Steven King!

Big Lebowski : Best. Film. Ever.
Best lines :

"New shit has come to light, man!"
"There's a beverage here, man"
"You mean coitus?"
We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas.
