From cnn.com:
But Dobson and the other signatories of the letter to the National Association of Evangelicals board said evidence supporting global warming was not conclusive and that the organization "lacks the expertise to settle the controversy."
Evangelicals can't support something when the evidence isn't conclusive?!

Buy this now
I've been listening to this CD obsessively for about a month now: Tehillim
/ The Desert Music by Steve Reich (performed by Alarm Will Sound
and Ossia). I came across it while looking for more things performed
by Alarm Will Sound after getting their also excellent (if a little uneven)
acoustic
covers of Aphex Twin songs album.
Usually when I get a CD and like it on the first listen, it's an infatuation that soon fades. Conversely, the ones that endure as my long-term favorites are frequently ones that I didn't like at first, but grew on me after I listened to them enough. It's rare to have an immediate and sustained love for an album. The other night on the elliptical trainer at the gym I ended up not even opening my book because I was enjoying concentrating on The Desert Music so much; no further distraction was required.

This post is 39 words, followed by 31 words, after which it ends.
From an Amazon gift certificate: "This gift certificate is valid for 18 months, followed by a 6-month grace period, after which it will expire." Why make the distinction? Why not just "This gift certificate is valid for two years."?
I was going to add "Amazon doesn't price things like 'This CD is $10.50, plus $4.45, which you should also pay.'" but then it occurred to me that actually they do.

A surfeit of trivets
So I'm moving from my apartment to a house (hurray!). I boxed up most
of the stuff in my kitchen this evening. I'm a single person who
almost never cooks anything, and yet I apparently own:
- 3 broiling pans — this is probably equal to the number of times I've broiled anything, ever
- 6 mixing bowls
- 3 colanders
- 3 skillets
- 4 pots (1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-quart sizes)
- 4 baking dishes
- 4 cheese graters
- a crock-pot

Why does this font (apparently) lack the cents character but have not a subset of?

Hello, world.
I have been spurred by Mr Thingo to
put somethere here other than lorem
