Was that fun, or what? (Jan 31 2008 22:59 GMT) - That radio debate was a hoot and a half, but I can't take credit. All the joy came straight from the mouth and brain of my lovely opponent, who obviously didn't do a lick of research for either the debate or for his books. I was shocked for a moment when, after I'd mentioned the recent discovery of Indohyus, he went on to claim that there were no intermediates between that deer-like artiodactyl and modern whales … and when I tried to mention Pakicetus, Ambulocetus, Rhodcetus, Basilosaurus, etc., he seemed to have never heard of them, claimed his information came from a Scientific American article some months ago (way to plumb the depths of the scientific literature, Dr Simmons! |

Letters from America [This Land Is Their Land] (Jan 31 2008 22:59 GMT) - Cynical-C has posted some complaints that the FCC has gotten about various television programs. One of my personal favorites, about the Oprah Winfrey show: "The talk show host, Miss Oprah Winfrey is illegally invading my privacy to promote show ideas on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Further, each time I gather evidence of proof, she pays people with her talk show earnings money to bribe them to destroy evidence." Many of the others are terrifically scary/wonderful. |

Relation between Overdrive and Bands (Jan 31 2008 22:58 GMT) - What are the bands doing when a 46rh is shifting into OD? I cannot get overdrive and am trying to find any reasonable reason. I have replaced the TPS with a potentiometer, plugged a 1K ohm resister into the temperature sensor plug, changed the fluid and filter, and recently adjusted the bands. I was having OD trouble prior to these listed acitivities, but now I have no overdrive at all so I am trying to back track what might be my problem. The transmission shifts well and lock-up works automatically in 3rd gear. |
