"Polarize the hull plating" boys and girls and lets hope nothing comes of this.

"WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 — The Justice Department increased its terrorist threat assessment level to “orange” — or high risk — on Friday, reflecting concerns among U.S. security officials that terrorists are planning a “major attack” as early as next week. The move came a day after the State Department warned Americans abroad of the threat of new terrorist attacks using chemical or biological weapons."

Gas here in Montreal is up to 88.6 cents a liter (yanks can do the math). I'd say histeria is doing such wonders to our society, won't need actual attacks any more.

Perhaps if they reverse the neutron flux of the dilithium crystals and reroute the tachyon beam to the anti-matter thrusters we can survive... Jeez too much coffee...

We need protection. We need skills. Rest assured. The solutions are all here.

A secret Canadian martial art provides defense against the worst sorts of people.

Finally, someone explains the mystery.

Just so you know, there are about 3.8 litres to a US gallon, so multiply Rene's 88.6 cents by 3.8 and you get $3.37 CDN per gallon.

Now $3.37 CDN is about $2.22 US. Slightly higher than the $1.80 per gallon that you're paying, by about 25%.

Sounds like things are getting a little squirrelly in your neck of the woods.

Take Care,
