    One time I snored at 111.7 decibels. The reason I didn’t do a spoonerism for her name is because the last name would’ve sounded racist, and I doubt the moderators let that sort of thing go.

    With snoring that loud, she probably sleeps on her back. Sleeping on your side decreases or gets rid of the snoring.

    Where can one obtain that very white paint and on what would you apply it if not your picket fence?

    It must be awful when you fall asleep during a rock concert and everyone complains about your snoring

    I can reduce global warming just by taking my shirt off.

    The paint base requires huge amounts of refined oil from Exxon Mobil and iridium ore child-mined only in Zimbabwe. Oh, and a touch of unborn whale blubber…..

    Jenny probably has a room or even a house to herself.

    Does the improved surface cooling mean that residential a/c’s will be more efficient, thus lowering energy bills for homeowners?

    Chernobyl has reappeared as Russia’s current crisis, but in 1986, one report cited feas that, if uncontrolled, the faulty unit could become hot enough to burn its way through the mantel and cause incredible damge to the globe. Whether that was true or not is still unclear. Fortunately the unit was buried under tons of suppressant material by a heroic helicopter pilot named Anatoly Grishchenko, and dozens of others, who are listed as Heroes of the Soviet Union.

    Can’t imagine why a re-ignited nuclear “ember” would be at risk of explosion. The material used in energy production isn’t pure enough a grade to use as weapons-grade, and the encasement was not designed as a bomb (not as simple as a movie would have you believe). IF water were entrapped around it, you might see a steam burst, nothing on the level of a nuclear explosion. The whole Ripleys bit regarding Chernobyl seems a bit far-fetched.

    Hard to believe that there’s a new shade of white, that’s so much whiter than previous whites that it could be world-saving. Yeah, not buying THAT…

    The only thing needed to combat this global warming malarkey is to ignore the political opportunists spewing it!

    On the other hand, the manufacturing of that paint broke records in carbon emissions :D

    The atmosphere works like mirrors, brighter light reflects more times in the atmosphere, then heating more the planet. I wonder if the whitest paint pinture creates more ray reflections,if yes, then the effect is heating more the planet as more reflection happens in the atmosphere.

    I highly recommend the book “Midnight in Chernobyl”. Guaranteed to keep you up nights, especially if you live in the Ukraine.

    I’d guess she isn’t married.

    Leave it to conservatives in Indiana to find a way to whitewash global warming.

    So that’s why Putin wasn’t smiling.
