Most of the ones I have been at are floated on little wooden boats. I have only seen a few that were purely mechanical conveyor belts. I'd never seen the sushi train idea - that's kind neat. But there are many dozens of different Sushi Boat-type resteraunts all around the great San Francisco area.

Re: Sushi Boat type resteraunts - The way every sushi boat / conveyor resteraunt that I have been to (both in the States and in Japan), the standard is that various items are placed on various colors or designs of plates and placed on the boats / cpnveyor belts by the chefs. As items come around, you pick items you want off of the conveyor. You can also special order items from the sushi chefs behind the counter. When you are done, your plates are counted to figure out your total. Normally the plates are coded based on the color or design to indicate their price.

And that video does make me happy. It just seems sublimely honest. It's just people being people.

Some places have buffet-style conveyors where you pick what you want as it comes. Then there are others with the conveyor belt but each booth having an intercom where you order your meal and the chef sends it down the line. The food usually comes within what seems like seconds of ordering too. Or so I've been told...All very efficient/no nonsense.

Technically water level would fall in this situation. The ice floats, hence is less dense. So the melted water takes up less space.

Regardless... snow falls from the sky and sticks on land, and creates glaciers. (you ignorant cunt) Glaciers and even iceburgs are not "ice cubes". Not to mention freshwater vs. seawater densities, the north Atlantic water conveyor.

I wonder if this isn't AEI / Exxon / DCI gag.

oh man!! i can't stand people that are adamant about making sure there is a DIVIDER on the conveyor belt at the supermarket!!! i always make sure to leave a nice gap between me and the next person, but there's always someone who will SLAP one down ...

*sigh*

I don't know why, but I have a terrible urge to roll around naked on the conveyor belt with the finished product.

This is just a 10 minute clip from Baraka, an amazing film with no dialogue. You can watch the full thing here....

Note: Skip to 5:41 for fluffy chicks (non-human) sliding down a conveyor belt.

More then anything I was reffering to the Moon's effects on world ocean currents. This I believe helps drive the cooling conveyor belt through the ocean. Am thinking wouldn't it also help primordial life when it was all in the liquids?

"Some "blame" has been pointed to the film's trailer, which indirectly revealed Soylent Green's main ingredient by using quick cuts of body bags being carried across a conveyor belt over spoken narration: "What is the secret of Soylent Green?" The resulting spoiled surprise may have contributed to popular culture's tendency to refer to the movie."
