Etcetera

My semester is almost over. It was uniquely insane. I'll write more later, but needless to say I'm now patting myself on the back.

Here are some links.

I just found out that President-Elect Obama was spotted listening to music on a Zune rather than an iPod.

The Zune is Microsoft's lame response to Apple's superior iPod. Any Hope(tm) America has had for their new president was clearly in vain. Everyone knows Microsoft is a Big Evil Monopoly.

Second, the EPA recently considered taxing farmers for their flatulent farm animals because that gives off greenhouse gas.

For argument's sake, let's set aside the environmental concern over tailpipe CO2 emissions. I've heard scientists and regulators fume over 'polluting' farm animals before. I've never understood why.

Large animals were farting for hundreds of million years before we invented cars.

If anyone could shine more light on this from a scientific perspective, I'd welcome your feedback. It seems ridiculous.
