I can't believe I'm the first to see the mispelling of warming

If it is not a mispelling, then the warning is an act of Gort and Klaatu.

UPDATE

I can't believe I misspelled mispelling :-)

Good call! I think I like it better with the misspelling.

Update: Wait, it was on purpose .oO( -W )

/me is mad he did not notice that the first read-through. :(

I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!

chomp; # nom nom nom

++lol, zentara, every time! Every comment you make always cracks me up, or at least puts a smile on my face....have you ever thought about takin your act on the road? ;)

have you ever thought about takin your act on the road

As a matter of fact, I will soon be "taking it on the road"......I will be homeless. :-)

Seriously, I have toyed with a comedy routine....."My mother, my big sisters, and me.... how I got screwed up". :-)

P.S. Did you know "that men who have older sisters", is designated by the FBI to be a risk factor for becoming a hijacker?

Presuming it was a typo for "global warming," it's even more reason to have somebody else proofread that next article before you send it off to the spelling-anal editor at your favorite journal

Isn't it an interesting type of psychological blindness, where you see what you think is supposed to be there, when you spell check your own stuff? I've learned to come back hours later, or even the next day, and recheck my posts. Inevitably I find grammatical and/or spelling errors.

It has even got to the point of my paranoia setting in, and thinking the gods are playing practical jokes on me. :-)

I still voted man, who is responsible for both the warming and the warning.

• The warnings are put in software by humans
• The warnings are caused by program errors by humans
• The warming is caused by unlimited use of energy by man. Economy seems to be more important than nature

So many votes for *other*. Some options are conspicuously absent.

• Nature
• The News Media
• The Illuminati

...and our cows and other livestock.

I personally believe that quite a lot of people would agre that President Clinton contributed more to global warming than Bush did, albeit by means of an act of local warming. Many also think he should have been given some warning, (to be more careful!) either local or global, for what that either may mean!

I personally believe that by definition the act of use strict is... strictness. Or else many jokes can be made about some "warnings," in some contexts, being... err, well, Fatal. Except that as a sad but realistic note, in those contexts there's not much to joke!

What the hell is global warning?

I personally believe that it's FSM: His many noodly appendages bring us both global, err... well, tasty, warming and... global warnings from Him who knows better than anything else in the universe what spaghetti code is.

Greetings to a fellow Pastafarian!

I disagree that the FSM is responsible for global warming; he's al dente as he is...

Hi all! :)

update: ...but, seriously, the global warming can really be considered as a warning, and this probably explains the misspelling.

So global warning has been oscillating for millions of years? :-)

Zod! Terence Stamp was awesome in the first Superman movie as this evil villain.

But if you're thinking about global warming, be sure to read the late Michael Crichton's book State of Fear which wraps a thriller around a variety of 'global warming' bits. Most illuminating.

Picky, but I think Terence Stamp and Zod turned up in the second movie, but awesome indeed.

Also Michael Crichton was a fiction writter. Whatever you think about global warming and its cause, it is better to reach your conclusion reading factual works by scientist.

Even more picky...:). Zod was indeed in the first movie, but only briefly. The beginning of the movie saw Zod and his crew banished to the 'Phantom Zone' (patent-pending)

Although I acknowledge that Crichton was a fiction writer, and that State of Fear was a work of fiction, it did reference many, many published, academic works. I'm guessing you haven't read this book, right?

I got completely turned off to Crichton after his book Airframe, which was touted as the "shocking truth about what airframers don't know about metal fatigue" Since I was an airframe maker, and we had known about (and designed around) airframe fatigue issues since before Crichton first put pen to paper, being lectured to by a no-better-than-second-rate novelist was highly offensive. Maybe I should have lectured him about plot.

Global warming (imho) is a mostly-myth as it pertains to mankind.

Mankind definitely contributes but I believe that if man were not on the Earth that the worldly environment would be doing exactly the same thing as it's doing now perhaps less accelerated. Just mho. Global warning is something we should all have now that Obama is in office.

Let the flame war begin! =}
