Silence means security silence means approval

All the clean hydrogen we need to power the world is already contained in crystals at the bottom of the ocean called gas hydrates.

TRUE.

It'd be nice if this was true.

It is true. The problem is safely extracting the hydrogen (mainly methane). It's mostly in a frozen slush (due to the extreme pressure of the ocean depths) that would have to be effectively "mined."

The problem is that the frozen methane, if mined incorrectly, could cause an undersea landslide, and an underwater landslide could create a tsunami.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Plus, doesn't it smell like farts?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I was going to say, sara, my first massage was by an independent massage therapist I found through my insurance, and she was just great. Half of the first session was all about me working on my breathing so I could relax enough so she could work.

Oddly enough, I've never had problems relaxing while getting a massage. A few times I've almost fallen asleep, though.

It's funny to look at David Rakoff (on Daily Show). I have issues with radio people sometimes.

Very cute! But shouldn't he really just be a disembodied voice while I do the dishes???
