Did you know that diesel was originally created from peanut oil?

Did you know that Henry Ford tried to use hemp as a biofuel?

Here’s an interesting article about biofuels and hemp that you might enjoy.

Here’s a sample of that web site’s article that might stoke your interest:

“The history of biofuel is more political and economical than technological. The process for making fuel from biomass feedstock used in the 1800’s is basically the same one used today. It was the influences of the industrial magnates during the 1920’s and 1930’s on both the politics and economics of those times that created the foundation for our perceptions today.”

And, Joey, hemp isn’t the same thing as marijuana. You can’t smoke hemp. If people could smoke hemp, stores that sell hemp clothing, paper and other items would consistently be deluged and always sold-out.

Here’s an article explaining the difference between hemp and marijuana.

Happy readings, dude.

How’s Cruces? Warm, I bet ..

Why hemp still is illegal in the U.S.? Remember in the 1930’s they probated the whiskey and right now they are legal because they pay taxes. Someday hemp will be legal in the near future.

SHAME ON YOU!

I was with an ex-girlfriend who’s father religiously and absolutely was convinced we were all gonna die. I admit I got a little creeped out when the moon (which was a full moon that night in El Paso) looked .. blue. And then I think it turned red. Well, I don’t remember what friggin’ color the moon was but it was weird, okay?

I prefer to carry the Yellow Pages over my head on New Year’s Eve cos once in Albuquerque, a bullet crashed through the roof of a man sitting in his recliner as he watched Dick Clark’s annual New Year’s Ball Drop (is that the title?) in New York. And the bullet landed right next to him.

Creepy.

Yep Dennis, that’s amazing mystery one! Try to look at it harder little bit more and read the Nostradamus book hundred times (repeatly). Maybe you could find the facts – ending the world.
Who knows… : / I still like the Nostradamus anyway! I like tough challenge thinking in many mysteries. Yes in Mexico, the Mayan said that will end the world in Dec 21th, 2012. I see the world everyday. I never knew Nostradamus before until last Sunday I watched Nostradamus The Lost Book. I relaized that it’s really happening fits to present time from the past time. I am following my own eyes and gut that it tells me something not right in the world right now such as oil, war, regilion conflicts, polluntion out of control, greedy, sex slaves, sweat shops, violence increases, and so many go wrong. I do feel that it will be ending the world someday… I am not perfect person. Just following my heart, eyes, and gut.

Yeah hahaha, I remembered Y2K in 1999 into 2000. I did prepared for it. I was sucker that did not happen during the Y2K that I overbought foods and water. Wasted my money, I never forget that, heh!

Deaf Powers,
Joey

Your comment about Y2K made me chuckle. I remember people buying generators because they thought we’d succumb to a world-war and nuclear holocaust – all because of a few bits and bytes, and binary numbers.

I still remember it like yesterday, too. The moon was blue that night in El Paso, and the hours and minutes ticked by slowly at first, and then with about 15 minutes until midnight, time flew. And then it was over.

So, I went home, disappointed.

*giggles*

Too bad Nostradamus wasn’t interested in sports!

Hey Joey, i have actually read several books on Nostradamus and i watched a discovery channel episode several months back about him. Nostradamus is highly controversial because of the elusiveness of his predictions. Were they deliberately hidden or just mere conjecture based upon past patterns of human history? One can see how nostradamus could be a genius simply by observing human nature and human history and using that as a template to predict future events in human history. That’s how i am looking at nostradamus in any case. As for his prediction on when the world ends on dec 21 2012, the mayan calander also ends on the year 2012 and alot of people have taken that to be the end of the world.

But hey, you know what? They also said the y2k bug was gonna end human civilization as we know it, and look were we are now.
