Pretty good guess! I stopped by my favorite watering hole and they were
having a "killer swarm". What's that you ask? Don't feel bad, I had to
ask too.

The University of Oklahoma (#1) football team and many past football
players get together and talk about how they are going to whip North
Texas' butt. There were about 50 players there with 2 or 3 showing up
every few minutes. I'm not a football fan, but I would guess there was
a couple of quarterbacks and the rest were tight ends. hehehee

The local station was broadcasting live and the place was just crazy.
It gave me the perfect opportunity to practice my "stringing men along"
skills. ;-)

After a few beers, I slipped out the secret door in the wall, never to
be seen again.

LP (never enough time to be bored)

Tinker Bell won't care but Lady Pilot probably will....

Don't be silly katysails. If Peter Pan wants to get drunk with a
grandma whose only claim to fame is that her and her offspring can
procreate at an early age, more power to him...

- actually, you're wrong. "runaway greenhouse" is caused by CO2 being
released from rocks: to quote
http://www.astronomynotes.com/solarsys/s9.htm

Runaway Greenhouse
Venus was originally cooler than what it is now and it had a greater
abundance of water several billion years ago. Also, most of its carbon
dioxide was locked up in the rocks. Through a process called a runaway
greenhouse, Venus heated up to its present blistering hot level.
Because Venus was slightly closer to the Sun than the Earth, its water
never liquified and remained in the atmosphere to start the greenhouse
heating. As Venus heated up, some of the carbon dioxide in the rocks
was ``baked out.'' The increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide enhanced
the greenhouse heating. That baked more carbon dioxide out of the
rocks (as well as any water) and a runaway feedback loop process
occurred. This feedback loop occurred several billion years ago so
Venus has been very hot for several billion years. The water Venus
originally had is now gone because of a process called dissociation.
