Oracle of Delphi

Truly the best thing that could happen to it, especially if GM has a minority share in it ...

And GMNA is doing even worse is it not? It's a shame the US Government doesn't care about it's auto industry. Unlike the German Government, which will stand behind theirs. Well it is a recession on it's way to depression, if it's not already a depression ... Or haven't you heard? Sorry to state to obvious, I don't like to steal your thunder ... Well that is your MO, PM and whisper bad things about C&G and the people who post here, the trouble is I cut off all PM's with you. I kept all your PM's, I like to reread them from time to time, right before I go to sleep, they really knock me out ... atabloke? That name seems vaguely familiar, was he the one spouting off all that venom? Were you the one pulling his string? Tell me, where is he now? I haven't seen him in a while ... Oh I don't worry about stocks, I won't need them for another 26 years. Time it seems is on my side, I'm not even 40 yet, soon, but not quite yet ...

A Kaiser of course ... :AH-HA_wink: :AH-HA_wink:

Very cool, congrats ...

Even the talk about loans and shutting down brands, drives customers away ...

Yeah Wikipedia, that's who I would quote, talk about sense? As for that thread, all I thought was meh ... Stating the obvious once again ... You seem to be at odds with me for some reason, doesn't have anything to do with me shutting down my PM's on C&G does it? I know how you used to like to PM me so ...

Was he really?

Is he really?

You are a funny man Roberto ...

And my daughter could have predicted the death of the V8 ...

For you, or the car? If it's you, do they still carry parts from that far back ...

You'd be better off building a house on top of a police station in Detroit ...

I think you should consider something bigger, especially with you accident history. I don't want to see you seriously injured ...

Someone should have told my father that ...

How did you find out GMNA's little secret?

You are so right ...

So all Pontiac needs is some water?

I'm still thinking about that, what I don't understand is when other Germanic tribes came to Latinized areas they generally adopted the Roman tongue. The reason many of these people invaded Rome was because they wanted to be a part of Rome, not because they wanted to destroy it. Even the Norse who came to Normandy abandoned Norse in favor of Romance. That may have been because of population issues too (it could have been because it was mostly the men who married the local Romance-speaking women, who spoke to their children in their Romance tongue), the Franks did the same thing. The Franks took over Gaul and learned the Gallo-Romance, which later became French. They thought it was a prestige language. I don't know why Britannia didn't follow this model, but my aim is to find out.

I have a few gray hairs of my own in my goatee and in my unibrow, very few though ...

You do know I have a degree in Romance languages so I know how to conjugate verbs, and I am a native speaker of German so I know what constitutes a Germanic language. However I don't believe English should be considered a truly Germanic language, Camino is more correct when he called it a mutt. I've read several books by linguist over the last few months who think English should be reclassified. I guess if they can reclassify the planet Pluto, it should be easy as pie to reclassify English as a Germanic/Latin bastard.

Attention parents: It's not your kids that are making you go gray. Your hair is simply building up too much hydrogen peroxide. Bottle-blondes may be a fan, but hydrogen peroxide, which is produced naturally in the human body, interferes with melanin, the pigment that colors our hair and skin. The body also produces the enzyme catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Or at least it does for a while. As we age, catalase production tails off, leaving nothing to transform the hydrogen peroxide into chemicals the body can release. So, as hydrogen peroxide builds up, we go gray, concluded researchers at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, who last week published the results of a study in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology's online journal. Reversing the process "This new insight could open new strategies for intervention and reversal of the hair graying process," wrote the study's lead author John Wood, who died last month. The studies were based on analysis of cell cultures of human hair follicles. In addition to lacking catalase, the follicles of gray-haired people also had far fewer hair-repair enzymes, which in turn drove down production of melanin, the scientists found. Genetics play a role as well, causing some people, such as Caucasians, to gray earlier than others, like Asians. Scientists suspect the same mechanism also may be responsible for a condition known as vitiligo, where white spots appear in the skin. "It gives you insight into how we age in general," Gerald Weissmann, professor of medicine at New York University, told Discovery News. "They got the molecular basis of aging down pat." Skin cells produce small amounts of hydrogen peroxide as part of the body's oxygen cycle. The chemical serves to kill bacteria. Scientists are hopeful there may be a way to remix the chemical soup to keep color in our hair, which no doubt is of interest to a hair-care industry that will be worth about $42.5 billion worldwide by 2010, according to a market report published last year by Global Industry Analysts. Weissmann predicts it won't be long before products to remove hydrogen peroxide from the hair — and the body in general — are created. "The rule goes when basic science is discovered it is quickly followed by a product," he said. Link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29468796/
