And as a addition to that, the areas in The Netherlands where windmills could (and are to some extend) be installed are alway the rural less populated area´s. For a while there has been a trend among some farmers to place a windmill on their land and sell the power to the local power company...

Andre, could i get the Dutch version please o:) :biggrin: :rolleyes:

Possibly because of the risk of salmonella infection due to poor hygene during slaughter? Afterall pigs, like chicken, eat pretty much anything so their prone to carry salmonella infections. P.s. just a guestimate here, but salmonella is a quick noticed infection.

Although i agree with you that people who dismiss the evolution (for discussions sake let's keep it on evolution theory) on religious basis are somewhat narrow minded. There are already scientists who are trying to get some mutual standpoint. The stantpoint beeing: Species do evolve but the...

Tuna and codfish among others are going down in numbers very fast as well. Less and less fish reach the age to reproduce, they are beeing caught before.

If pure oxygen is inhaled for an extended period of time it irritates lunge tissue. However it doesn't get toxic until it partial-pressure get higher (sorry don't know the partial pressure, i'd have to look it up but i don't have the books here, just check a dive course manual)

The global warming subject is like a really big jigsaw-puzzle. And we only have some pieces on the edges. There is something changing, if its us or mother nature herself? I don't know, guess nobody does. What i do know (or more have the feeling) that there are more records broken on the...

i'm not only referring to this particular story. More in general. Do any of you guys think ancient stories hold any value in predicting future disasters?

Hmm, interesting story that mayan prophecy. Guess i found one of the basis story's of Clive Cusslers "Atlantis Discovered " All we miss is the " Fourth Reich " (if you've read it you know what i mean). Never the less, doesn't annyone think old prophecy's like the mayans can hold some clues...
