Trepanation? That seems like work. I'm going with a coffee IV and T. Rex.

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

I think the last song I downloaded was House of the Rising Run by the Animals.
iTunes. It's only 99ยข to download (which might be horrible for people who like to have lots of music on hand, but I tend to like no more than one or two songs off most albums).
I love the ability to buy single songs at 88 cents a shot. I rarely want an entire album.

Wait! The whale doesn't need trepanning, it's already got a blowhole!

The EPA is going to change the way it rates fuel economy and it should reduce ratings about 10-20% and probably more for hybrids.
I wonder if this could dampen the sales of hybrids.
You can also tell the EPA what the new mileage rating stickers should look like:

Maybe the whale is just gronkled. All the rescue services need to do is pour some black coffee down its blowhole and it'll rememeber why it went up there in the first place.

Lots of people have gotten much poorer mileage out of their hybrids than the EPA estimats. For any car, how you drive it will affect mileage, but for hybrids the way you drive can have a huge impact.

Yeah, I'm just wondering if people are going to want to pay a premium for a hybrid if the figures on the sticker aren't as dramatically higher as non-hybrid models.

Yeah, I wonder that too. But AFAIK the new figures will be a better reflection of reality.

Oh, they don't. My cousin looked into the Prius seriously and wound up going mini-cooper because the gas-mileage you'd get wasn't any better and the mini was easier to find.
