A comment by DGB on Mange tes Morts*

The fossil evidence is clear.

With the evolution of the family compact into the SUV, dinsosaurs became irresponsible gas-guzzlers. They drove everywhere.

Until the advent of the Algoresaur, who had mysteriously acquired a primitive version of Powerpoint (Windows95, think the giant monolith from 2001), convinced all the dinosaurs, the great and the small, to ride bicycles, to skateboard, and to rollerblade.

The earth cooled down. Actually it iced over and all the dinosaurs died. But that's beside the point. The important thing is that today the dinosaur carbon footprint is miniscule. Just a handful of Komodo dragons.

In ten, well, maybe not ten, but forty years --tops -- we'll all be skipping around like spit on a hot skillet unless we cool down the earth again. Ted Turner knows what he's talking about. Well, maybe he doesn't. But tops, he knows he's talking.

Any number of B-movies attest to the fragility of man's taboo cannibalism. One more degree may be the tipping point to this.

Don't pollute. Don't drive. Don't smoke. Don't eat people. One square will do, so don't wipe two. Be nice. Mother earth thanks you.
