I think "Fairly Oddparents" is one of the funniest shows on TV these days.

Ice melts at 32 F (0 C). It drives me nuts watching people kill themselves trying to scrape ice off their windshields when all they have to do is turn on the freaking engine and let the defroster run for a minute. The car doesn't have to get warm, just warmer than 32 F.

Another tip from the frozen north (where I grew up, not where I live now): Even if the temperature is below freezing, sunlight often throws enough heat onto sidewalks to melt a layer of water under the ice. If you've got ice to clear and it's a sunny day, take advantage of the sunlight, it'll be a lot easier. Ice below 20 degrees seems to be a substance harder than concrete.

While we're on the subject; How do you get ice off a radio tower?
WRIR's transmitter blew out a couple of weeks ago due to ice build up.

Easy, crank up the power. Run at 50 million watts for a couple hours, that ought to do it.

One of the guys I live with just got busted for marijuana usage, and I'm hoping he gets thrown out of school.  Dirty bastitch never flushes the toilet and walks around the suite in nothing but a towel.

Snowed here for the first time in a couple of years.

I need a better shovel... and, uh, one of those, uh things... But folks in these parts only think about it once a year... You know what I mean.

I wish I could afford a Rokon. That would be cool. Especially if they were street legal.
But if that were the case, I could probably afford the kind of shovel that I'm never going to need.

You often see ads for programmers that read "Wanted: Senior programmer, must have 5-7 years experience in [product that's only been out 1 year]".
