Interesting formations, I've never seen them before. But what's with the creepy music? Sounds like something you'd hear on a tour bus ride through Hell.

That guy is ONLY saved if a HUGE volcano goes off or a good-sized meteorite hits us...

Or, you know, nuclear war.

I fI was Bill Nye I would amend these bets with atmospheric readings of ash @ so many parts per million (at the point it really is WAY too high!). Or also amending it for debris consistent with a large meteorite hit (a few different choices in the ring to measure to see if it's a meteorite too); so if "x" per milllion is too high in the atmosphere, again the year is bunck (the decade may become bunck all depending the levels of both events).

But, the worst, nuclear fallout from what "may be" WWIII or a smaller "civil conflict", like Pakistan and India could top the meters pretty high with worldwide fallout if they drop a good ten or so (again this is based off the material used to create the bomb and once more it's parts per million in the atmosphere combined with, how much?)...

No matter what Bill Nye is right, and even if these type of "small-term" events slow it down momentarily, after the planet helps to clean to out of the atmosphere we have a big issue on hand because some of that stuff WILL stay and then Bill Nye can show you how in two years (and as we know, it could be much longer), or the time it truly takes to clean it out leaves us with an atmosphere that is now even worse...

AIM FOR THE PARTIAL WIN BOYS AND GIRLS!!! I know you all want zombies (radioactive, Japanese spiritual based demons and shinigami here to try to kill us all until every boy and girl 15 years old or so become shounen trope mystical power holders made to save our world from the oncoming onslaught of Donald Trump and Putin phantasms and demons, truly horrific--college students may apply; grownups may gain insight into how to pull off the most powerful abilities that they must teach to the "chosen ones" to use it to defeat either Putin or The Trump (spiritual fighter, capable of killing people even with his TERRIBLE "slams", fighting power: 0, defense: every fanboy on Earth!)--or how to use "super tactics with the "main-group" who'll have stories written about them in their local High Scool Paper every week: in the American, Japanese, Russian, and European branches (needed for Putin, since he writes great stories explaining how each of us suck ass and even though we try it is ALWAYS Putin, riding in on a Velociraptor with a railgun that's able to drive those evil bastards out, especially when he gets off the horse and makes the wrestling techniques and signature move, crossing his arms in an "X" and slamming down over the side of his genitals (causing all watching to be confused and easily dismembered in twenty minutes... The glory of dawn continues in the next 4-6 hours before dawn...

SO... What exactly do you guys believe you should vote for? I say Vote Bill Nye and Vote often. Did you know that in both those "metaverses" Bill Nye becomes akin to Dr. Strange. Great because he protects ALL of us from this world with an extremely powerful spell--as he IS the only person here that knows just what in the hell is happening.

All hail the kid's scientist, through Sarah Palin on the "happiness tour bus" to Putin. He LOVES her. Especially listening to her talk. Ceaseless entertainment...!


I decided to list this as "sarcasm", BUT there is SO MUCH that isn't. Sometimes you have to hide the truth in reality...err...not reality...

You're not allowed to "shit" on any tour bus I've ever been on

Good post, I'm always interested in NYC history and this was a good glimpse. Check out the documentary "The Cruise" about an NYC tour bus guide, for another inside view of the city.

wow ..that boy's gayer than Liberace on a Cher tour bus full of leather-clad Bears and Twinkies..

Great scene from a fantastic show. Season 1 just wrapped up with episode 10 last week.

For those who haven't seen the show, "Treme" is a New Orleans neighbourhood... it's pronounced "treh-may".

This scene shows a New Orleans Indian group paying tribute (funeral isn't the right term) to one of their Chiefs who died in the hurricane and flood- his house is in the background. Can't blame them for not wanting a tour bus full of gawkers snapping photos of a private and mournful moment.

and the Willie Nelson tour bus causes yet another tradgedy

I once had to turn a 40-ft long tour bus around in a similar amount of space... Minus the part of it being on a bridge. (I was on a one-lane back country road with a huge ditch on one side and a fence on the other.) I'm impressed at the 3-minute time - I think it took me about 5 minutes or so.

Those buses can be remarkably maneoverable when needed. In Ohio the commercial drivers license test consists mostly of tests making you drive backwards, so you learn very quickly how large your vehicle is and exactly what you can make it do. (That, and groups tend to want you to drive into places that buses were Not Meant to Go.)

Seriously, who wears a beehive if not to stash drugs...

Anyway, the girl is a wreck, no matter which way you cut it... I almost wish she and Britnasty would tour together... maybe call it the, "Fuck Y'all, We're Checkin' Out" tour at the end of which they would OD together on their tour bus amidst a pile of Louis Vuitton handbags, Manolo Blahnik pumps, and lots and lots of Taco Bell wrappers.

interesting...
i'll go along with the general idea that it will get easier to link things and there will be new ways of finding relevant stuff.

but when people say "imagine a world of web X.0" i get suspicious.

I think the problem is, the human brain has certain hardwired limits (that take thousands of years to change) and computers are just too powerful. Also, the last thing I want is to tell my friends exactly where I am all the time, and I probably don't need to tell future employers exactly what I think about politics and religion.

Also, real life is still more interesting, and if you don't lead a real life you end up outputting boring stuff that there's no point linking to. Internet dreamers never really talk about how this stuff gets created in the first place.

Good example: musicians do a great first album, drawn from their whole life experience, and then spend 12 months on the road having no experiences other than the tour bus and some parties, then they write second album, and it sucks a bit.

Saw them in college in about '81. I swear if Michael McDonald had asked me to join them on the tour bus...I would've! lol
