I o'erreach myself with linksmanship

1. We're using moats in Iraq. That'll stop 'em.

2. Sammy Safety Says: Siphoning mistakes suck!

3. Ahh, Chernobyl in the Spring. You can almost smell it!

4. Did anyone else see a fake-looking dog?

5. Way to handle your domestic issues, Mr. Siphethu.

Oh, Chernobyl. I eat all pictures up with a spoon. Favorite subject for photography. I mean to go someday.

I hope you're not thinking of doing so anytime in the next few thousand years!

Why not? What's her face (http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/chapter1.html) did. Apparently, so long as you stick to the roads and carry a roentgen-o-meter, you're OK.

1. The moat could have practical applications as well, seeing as how most of Iraq's countryside is nourished by canals that might well be considered moats that simply meander all over the place. The new flow of water could help crops and aid in the growth of new trees, something desperately needed in Iraq.

Good point.

It struck me as similar to our various attempts in Vietnam to control movement from the North to the South with barriers and electronics, but if the "moat" is useful for infrastructure too it's not nearly as dumb.
