Museum of Science Pictures

We took a trip to the Museum of Science two weekends ago, and I have posted all the pictures to flickr. Here is the link to flickr, to that SET of pictures:

Helium Supplies Endangered, Threatening Science And Technology

I never really considered this, but since helium is produced from a decay of uranium-238, of course it must be finite, and take an extremely long time to produce, and capture. It takes BILLIONS of years to produce, and cannot be made synthetically.

Looking at the helium balloons we got Abbey for her birthday, makes me think that we may want to save the helium :-) Below is a link to more information:

ScienceDaily (2008-01-05) — In America, helium is running out of gas. The uplifting element is being depleted so rapidly in the world’s largest reserve, outside of Amarillo, Texas, that supplies are expected to be depleted there within the next eight years. This deflates more than the Goodyear blimp and party favors. Its larger impact is on science and technology.

EO News: Changing Climate will Challenge Northeast Agriculture – July 11, 2007:


So, Mr. Cheney, and Mr. Bush, do you still think Global Warming is some kind of fallacy? I know that you, Mr. Bush, are not an avid reader, just judging from your use of the English language. So, maybe you have missed some of the reports that various scientists have been reporting. If you are the Christian that you say you are, and the person who is for family farms like you say you are, then how do you interrupt this article? Is it simply more left wing propaganda? Maybe you feel that anything written by scientists is left wing propaganda, I don’t know.

I hope some of your summer reading is going to include some nice scientific facts, so you might be able to actually learn something from what others write. You certainly did not do so well in your history classes either, since you continue to make mistakes that others have made in the past. For the sake of families (you are pro-family, right) these things will not only affect us peasants, but will affect your way of life as well. You see, we all breath the same air, and eat food from the same earth, so surely global warming will affect you as well, or did you skip your logic class as well?

This is almost hard to believe. Well, it is hard to believe. Messing with people’s emotions is not something that I think is going to be a good thing. I could be wrong, but although this is trying to fix a bad feeling, what about all the nut cases out there cooking up things to turn good feelings into bad ones?
