Commented in Toys 'R' Us files for bankruptcy in US
Walmart might be a competitor but surely not Target, Target is like if you want to go to a fancier sounding Walmart and spend more for the same stuff.
This makes me sad, they were the last big toy store standing, as far as I know, having bought KB and FAO years back, how does a virtual monopoly on kids lose, by virtue of being Toy R Us they could have had deals the same as Walmart prices and competed, I guess they refused.
If they go belly up in all of this I am going to miss them, nothing I love more than their Educational toys section that carries ant farms, geology stuff, telescopes, etc... I guess that means shopping at Hobby Lobby or Michaels Crafts & Fabrics in the future.

Commented in Where Are All The Aliens? What Is Fermi’s Paradox?
Not to nitpick, but the zoo hypothesis assumes that there's something unique about earth that makes it worth protecting. We really only made parks of places with something unique, either geology or biology. It's not like we save random things for no reason. Thus the ZH seems anthropomorphic and so to me that's not a good theory.

Commented in Giant Crack in Africa Will Create a New Ocean
geology happens very slowly. 2009 is basically the same as 5 minutes ago.

Commented in Images I had commissioned for my worldbuilding project, "Panthology".
Ah okay. I'm creating the project for personal pleasure, funded entirely by me, and will be distributed for free once finished. My end goal of the project is a sort of anthology (get it? Panthology, an anthology of everything, oh I'm not that clever) of thicker volumes on the history, geography, geology, biology, etc. of the world complimented by short stories, literary novels, and more set on the world.

Commented in Rare African plant signals diamonds beneath the soil
Having a background in both geology and biology, I wonder what nutrient dependency this species has to make its' growth conditions so specific to kimberlite soils.

Commented in Multiple lines of evidence suggest global cooling
I don't buy it. I've seen a lot more evidence that supports the scientific theory of climate change and that the temperature has been steadily rising. Not that it magically stopped in 1998. I'm no scientist, but I have taken a few courses on geology, and what they're saying here ab out how everything is "cooling down" is contradicting everything else I've ever heard on the matter, all from much more reputable sources.
Here's just the first result from a simple google search: http://climate.nasa.gov/news/249 And I will trust NASA over random-news-source.com anyday.
