4. Aside from the fuel tank, its weight does not change.

7. Too change it, you don’t have to talk to it, you just MODIFY it.
8. Even a LARGE heavy one like the Pontiac G8 GT, can look sexy. You can have fun inside it and no one will think you’re weird.

Why God could never get tenure at a university
He had only one major publication.
It was in Hebrew.
It had no references.
It wasn't published in a refereed journal.
Some doubt he even wrote it himself.
It may be true that he created the world, but what has he done since then?
His cooperative efforts have been quite limited.
The scientific community has had a hard time replicating his results.
He never applied to the Ethics Board for permission to use human subjects.
When one experiment went awry he tried to cover it up by drowning the subjects.
When subjects didn't behave as predicted, he deleted them from the sample.
He rarely came to calls, just told students to read the Book.
Some say he had his son teach the class.
He expelled his first two students for learning.
Although there were only ten requirements, most students failed his tests.
His office hours were infrequent and usually held on a mountaintop.

The world by numbers....
1 million Britain's population in Roman times
6 million Britain's population around the time of the English civil war
47 million Britain's population in 1945
52,000 The number of tonnes of carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere every minute
267 The average number of births every minute worldwide; the average number of deaths per minute is 118
78 million The planet's annual population increase, a number roughly equivalent to the population of Germany
1 million The number of chimpanzees in Africa in 1900. Today, thanks to habitat loss and hunting, numbers have dropped to around 15,000
38.4 The median age in the UK rose from 34.1 years in 1971 to 38.4 in 2003 and is projected to reach 43.3 in 2031. (The median is the age that separates the oldest half of the population from the youngest.)
10 billion The number of chickens eaten by man worldwide every year
500 million The number of ducks eaten every year
1.3 billion The population of China
1.2 billion India's population
500 million The population of the EU
74 million The number of barrels of oil pumped daily across the planet; 15 million tonnes of coal are dug every day
9 Between 2010 and 2050, nine countries will account for half of the world's projected population increase: India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the United States, the Democratic Republic of Congo, China, Bangladesh, Tanzania
