It's today! Nearly missed it. They want lights off at 2030 your local time. You know what to do.
so i guess I should start turning on lights, right? To bad the fridge is outside, I could have plugged it back in and run it for an hour without the door.

While more than a billion people participate by shutting off their lights for an hour — and saving at most the equivalent of China halting its CO emissions for fewer than four minutes — 1.3 billion people across the developing world will continue to live without electricity as they do every other night of the year.Almost 3 billion people still burn dung, twigs and other traditional fuels indoors to cook and keep warm. These fuels give off noxious fumes that are linked to 4.3 million deaths each year, mostly women and children.In fact, it was the advent of widespread electrical power that freed us from these harmful practices that still affect large parts of the developing world.

One of the major reasons that I don't buy into the whole "save the earth" thingy is because I'm lazy.The tree huggers can just be thankful tonight that my laziness occasionally benefits them.
That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.
