Bayer marketed heroin as an aternative to morphine. They claimed that heroin was superior to morphine because it was supposedly non-addictive. Bayer chose the name heroin, the female form of hero, because the drug was touted as heroic. Heroin was sold over the counter until 1924.

Only a moron like you would utter such a stupid thought in the face of finding out that 2011 was the hottest year since records have been kept.

In addition, six of the hottest ten years since records have been kept have been in the last ten years.

Stevie, lay off the caffeine. I'm tellin' ya, it's not good for you.

No bets placed on this one. I couldn't get any odds.



I watch a lot of science shows. So many, I'm kind of embarrassed.


If the entirety of recorded time equals planet earth. Then all of time equals our galaxy. This planet goes through shifts that take thousands of years. According to Morgan freeman, if we produced All of our pollution ever, on a daily basis. It would take 500 million years to make serious permant changes. Maybe we will get some good leadership by then.

No, it isn't.

The proper spelling is "googol' and it is a 1 followed by one hundred zeros, not a million zeros.

I like to be objective on both sides so let's clarify:

2011 was not the hottest year on record, according to NASA it was ninth.

However 9 of the 10 warmest have been since 2000.

I think you're confusing the term "ogoogol" with the term "Romney/Ryan".
