So you're saying each piece of spaghetti is cooling/heating at different rates?
The concern is not whether they are many but are they all moving parallel to
each other due to the flow of the current.  Seems rather strange we dump all
that plastic in the oceans yet knowing the currents all that plastic winds up
in a central geographic location.

He's around.  I shook his tree with the Ed issue.  Called me a liar.  Lee has
been playing Don Quixote for him.

I'm damn proud of my Boxer and his gas!!! Although I don't know, the
deforestation has to effect the total CO2 but to what percentage I don't know.

Congrats!
