Is this a math test?

Answer: the same thing that would happen if all 350 million toilets in the United States were flushed at the same time?

350 mil x 1.6 gal = 560 mil gal

That's a lot of beer. Remember the documentary about that, how beer saved the world? So it's all good.

America. To the rescue!

That is exactly why at this time, Ingenuity is in the process of being born on Mars. Who ever heard of a man giving birth (I mean for real), because if folks were really looking up, they'd see that Percy is in labor! Four days thus far:

· 11h
We’re in the home stretch. The #MarsHelicopter has lowered all four legs and is in position to touch down on the Martian surface. Once it’s fully ready, @NASAPersevere will release it gently to the surface. http://go.nasa.gov/ingenuity

Good Friday arrival?

Time to flush all of the end days "experts" in one big flood.

Aren't you just so proud of this lil' family? It's got... MOXIE. :)

I read once that all the people in the world could fit inside Texas.

I always wondered why sea levels rise.

Rush once said that there’s a worldwide emergency and the earth must raise the sea levels two feet in the next year. How would you do it?

Are they going to pee in the ocean, or just hold it.

How much will difference will that make?

I don’t understand the downside of this even if all the ice somehow magically melts. is the downside that there’s less ocean frontage? Isn’t that made up by the fact that’s there now more useable land in Greenland, Antarctica etc ?

I bet that even if everyone on Earth sat in the ocean the sea levels still wouldn't be as high as they were before the most recent cooling age (nicknamed "The Little Ice Age") started around 1300 AD.


For example: the ancient Greek town Ephesus (to whom the Apostle Paul wrote the letter Ephesians to) was a port city. The ruins of that city today are a few miles from the water, in part because of natural sediment adding to the ground, but also in part because the cooling periods named the Dark Ages and the Little Ice Age reduced the sea levels and our Current Warm Trend hasn't risen the sea levels back to that level.


Believe it or not, we've known for over a hundred years we've been in a warming trend that begin around 1800 or so. But it's been only the past few decades that there's been political charlatans to say it's a bad thing.

In 1985 I lived for a summer along the Jersey Shore. The boardwalk was about 100 feet inland from the waters edge. An old timer told me that the water at one point in his life came up to the boardwalk with far less sandy beach.

What about the Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas. They got lots of mountain glaciers, but all that would occur is inland floods around those mountains.

Benjamin of Tudela wrote in 1157 that the town of Sorrento was under water, just a stone’s throw from the edge of the bay, and that there were hot springs near there, and a steady flow of petroleum into water, which people regarded as a healthful drink.

Keep her away from Michael Moore. If they should meet and consummate their love, it will be the end of the world.

Yes everyone would fit and have 100 sq meters of space. Slightly less now that there is nearly 8 billion not 7 billion peeps.

Assuming “10 cubic feet per person”.

Wow! These 5 foot tall porkers weigh about 660 pounds each!
