No wonder it's so damn COLD!

It's been freezing lately. As in I have to de-ice my car in the evenings because frost forms that early. And no wonder.

The Earth's core is molten - over 5000 degrees centrigrade at the core - about the same temperature as the surface of the Sun. This heat constantly, if slowly, radiates out through the crust and provides a significant level of warming, adding to that provided by the Sun, the greenhouse effect, and everything else.

It follows that if the Earth's core were to cease to be hot, the Earth's surface too would suffer a dramatic decrease in temperatures.

According to numerous biblical references, Hell is a very hot place located beneath the Earth.

In the news today: Microsft's next version of Internet Explorer will be so standards-compliant that it passes the Acid2 test

Wrap up warm, folks: Hell has frozen over.

Interesting; but I'm going to hold off until they
actualy PASS Acid2. For the moment the winter in
good old Texas USA has been mild.

You should do a review on Firefox 3 Beta 2 for Linux, kay?

Whoah. That is so awesome. The firefox I'm using can't even pass the test.

If IE were to be standards complient, the internet would be a much better place.
