13. didn't you hear? Global warming is caused by volcanoes...
A ditto-head tried to tell me that the polar ice caps were melting because of a new volcano recently discovered off the coast of Antarctica 900 feet below the ocean surface. It obviously never crossed his mind that 1) the volcano was at least (as the geologist put it) tens of thousands of years old (they discovered it a couple months ago, so it must only be a couple months old, right?), and 2) the ice is melting in the northern polar ice cap faster than the southern one.

I'm convinced that when it's said that humans only use 10% of their brains, it's because people like that bring down the average for the rest of us. The 10% figure is accurate in a "$1000 average bush-tax-cut" kind of way.

5. So cool?
:7 Just kidding. That seems to be a normal Temp (or hotter) for the Chicago area in the summer...at least in recent years. Global Warming?

103 degrees + HUMIDITY......miserable. I'm not looking forward to it. I feel their pain.

11. Mid-70's in Pittsburgh
After two weeks in 80's, this week is a nice change - at least there'll be no complaining about keeping the AC turned off.

18. Another Pittsburgher - well it's nice to see the bosses smiling
I work for an air conditioning wholesaler. So we liked the hot weather in May.

But I was thinking this morning, besides the early heat. Has anyone noticed record number of tornadoes this spring?

Glad I don't live in tornado alley.
