So that&#8217;s why the green company earth angel &#8216;comes&#8217; in to make the planet a little better for everyone with the world&#8217;s first environmentally friendly vibrator&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-599"></span><br />
Most batteries contain heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead), which are the main cause for environmental concern. If waste batteries are not disposed of correctly, heavy metals may leak when the battery corrodes, and so contribute to soil and water pollution and endanger wildlife. Increased levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide act to enhance the natural greenhouse effect and accelerate irreversible changes in the climate.</p>
<p>Powered by a hand crake it charges in minutes and even has indicator lights to let you know how much cranking power is left in there.</p>
<p><img src="http://retardzone.com/uploads/2009/04/friendly.jpg" alt="Eco-Friendly Vibrator" /></p>
<p>The hand crank powers up for about an eight minute charge available in four environmentally friendly speeds.</p>
<p>Developed in Ireland the world&#8217;s first green sex toy manufacturers are committed to pleasuring people and the planet.</p>
<p>Best of all it&#8217;s products are 100% recycled.</p>
<p>Coming in recycled packaging the tool even comes with a medical certificate for quality, because it&#8217;s important what you know that you are sticking something somewhere that&#8217;s both safe and pleasurable.</p>
<p>The earth angel costs around $105.00 US and Bonny Hall of sex toy website LoveHoney added: &#8220;It may sound like a wind-up, but going green has never been this sexy.&#8221; </p>

<p>The FDA agrees that it&#8217;s reasonable to accept more natural defects in our food in lieu of increasing the amount of pesticides sprayed on them:</p>
<blockquote>
<p> &quot;The alternative to establishing natural defect levels in some foods would be to insist on increased utilization of chemical substances to control insects, rodents and other natural contaminants. The alternative is not satisfactory because of the very real danger of exposing consumers to potential hazards from residues of these chemicals, as opposed to the aesthetically unpleasant but harmless natural and unavoidable defects.&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>However, there may be one health area that&#8217;s been overlooked. According to Judy Tidwell, an economic service specialist at a state social services office in the Southeast United States who has struggled with allergies, trace amounts of insect parts that have been ground into food items ranging from strawberry jam to spaghetti sauce can affect people with allergies and asthma.</p>
<p>&quot;We throw away the products that we see are infested. Just think how many we consume because we didn&#8217;t notice they were infested. Ingesting insect material may cause stomach disorders, as well as allergic reactions,&quot; she says. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Theory: </strong>Another form or solar radiation management using pale-coloured roofing and paving materials.

<p>        <strong>Failure:</strong> Most of the planet&#8217;s factories are in third world countries that don&#8217;t bother to pump their waste into anywhere but the local rivers let alone go paint all of their buildings with fancy paint.

The injection could be accomplished by artillery, aircraft and balloons. The compound would react to form a cloud of sulfuric acid droplets that would in turn reflect sunlight and cool the globe.</p>

<p><strong>Theory: </strong>It has been proposed to actively enhance the polar ice cap by spraying or pumping water onto the top of it which would build thicker sea ice. As ice is an insulator, water on the surface of the ice tends to freeze more quickly than that below. River water could be used for this purpose, as salt water tends to resist freezing, and may end up perforating the resulting ice sheet.</p>
<p>        <strong>Failure:</strong> Building, delivering and maintaining the  equipment necessary to deliver the large amounts of water in the volumes needed under those conditions would be nearly impossible. <strong></p>

<p>Twenty-five years after the first AIDS cases emerged, scientists have confirmed that the HIV virus plaguing humans really did originate in wild chimpanzees, in a corner of Cameroon. Presumably, someone in rural Cameroon was bitten by a chimp or was cut while butchering one and became infected with the ape virus. That person passed it to someone else. Since humans are so closely related other diseases could be passed on unless chimps are eradicated.</p>

<p>Field studies in Tanzania illustrate how some chimps occasionally murder other chimps for no apparent survival-related reason. Premeditated, gangland-style attacks were directed by a large group of male chimps on a smaller group of males and females that had previously broken away from the larger group. Over the course of five years, each member of the splinter group was systematically and brutally beaten. All died. Only young males initiated the attacks, which occurred only when the victims were isolated from the others. Hands, feet, and teeth were often used by the attackers.</p>

<p>    <strong><strong>Why it&#8217;s retarded</strong>:</strong> NAET has to be the most unsubstantiated allergy treatment proposed to date.

<p>Catamarans have some advantages like resistance to capsizing, spacious widths and speed advantages although the vast majority of boats are mono hull or single hulled. Here are some of the biggest disadvantages to a catameran:</p>
<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-left: 10px;">
<li><strong>Cost to park</strong>:  <br />
        harbors are set up to accommodate narrower single hulled ships and a catamaran can cost double the typical $400 a month in slip fees.
        </li>
<li><strong>Less maneuverable:</strong><br /> <br />
          Mono hulls are the choice whenever close-quarters maneuvering is required. A fin keel mono hull can pivot on its keel allowing for a tight turning radius and excellent maneuverability. Cats, without the keel, must turn through the water and have a much wider turning radius. 
        </li>
<li><strong>Motion Sickness:</strong> <br />
          Contrary to mono hulls which have a ballasted keel, catamarans rely only on form stability, which may lead to motion discomfort and more seasickness in light wind conditions.</p>

<p>Take heed the 2006 blockbuster film which grossed just over  <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=lastwinter.htm" target="blank">$33,190 dollars</a> illustrates the catastrophic perils involved with drilling in ANWAR.</p>

<p>      You know you&#8217;re having a bad day or watching a terribly stupid movie when someone close to you is carried off by a<br />
      ghost dinosaur  These usually invisible ghosts of giant herds of dinosaur ghosts. The movie asserts that oil fields are actually just dinosaur cemeteries. When the &#8216;disease&#8217; is in advanced stages the herd is not only visible but will grab you up.</p>
<p>      <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      To survive simply close your eyes, apparently if you can&#8217;t see them they really aren&#8217;t there and can&#8217;t harm you.</p>

<p>People are not the only victims of this mysterious disease unlocked by drilling in the arctic. Bulldozers, trucks and snowmobiles all fall victim to the possibly gas emissions released by drilling on the dinosaur cemetery. </p>
<p>      Some vehicles have their oil spill out and others simply won&#8217;t start. </p>
<p>      <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      Be sure to carry along some extra motor oil and a jumper cables and an extra pair of hiking boots just in case.</p>

<p>       <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      Shoot the survivors, they are contagious like in the movie <em>The Ruins</em> (where villagers shoot those who touch the contagious plants) combined with <em>The Happening</em> (Where plants go on a suicide inducing hormone releasing spree).</p>

      Our e-mail impaired Elliot Jenkins ignores uncontrolled nose bleeds early on in the movie only to lock the door and go to sleep without seeking medical attention.</p>
<p><strong>Retard Survival Tip:<br />
      </strong>Just because this movie is about drilling doesn&#8217;t give you an excuse to go picking your nose. Remember it&#8217;s not just gross it&#8217;s potentially fatal.</p>

<p>TLW Disease is apparently airborne and causes airplanes to crash barbecuing three victims. Somewhat disturbingly the foreman pins his escape plan on getting 10 people into the tiny four person Cessna 172 (but the movie was on a limited budget).</p>
<p>          <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      Travel by sea, the air and land are definitely unsafe but no one dies on the water so it&#8217;s probably the safest means of transportation.</p>

<p>      The strategy of &quot;mainstreaming&quot; is to put children who can&#8217;t keep up with grade level work in the class with functioning students.  Across the country teachers are spending a huge percentage of their time slowing down their curriculum to try to keep these slower students up with the rest of the class.  In Europe there is a college bound tract and a trade school tract where children who aren&#8217;t college material are taught valuable trade skills.</p>
<p><strong>Retard Survival Tip:<br />
</strong>The homicidal behavior was only exhibited by the nearly 300 pound Dawn Russell character so it&#8217;s safe to assume it only effects fat chicks (avoid them at all costs).</p>

<p>      At the end of the movie our lone survivor emerges from her abandoned hospital room to here thumping noises. You can tell the camera starts to pan back to reveal the city she is staring at only to abruptly cut to black. It&#8217;s pretty obvious the movie was aiming for one of those 28 Days Later city in ruins shots but lacked the budget.</p>
<p><strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      If you don&#8217;t have the money to film something leave it out (see original Star Wars). When hiring a script writer don&#8217;t grab the same lazy idiot who ended the last episode of the Sopranos by clicking the off button in the middle of a scene.</p>

<p>      Scientists have long theorized that dinosaurs somehow evolved into modern day birds.  This movie finally puts the debate on that and drilling in ANWAR to rest. Specifically crows are most closely related to dinosaurs. These crows have something to do with the TLW disease, have somehow developed an immunity to live in the Arctic tundra. The crows subsist in the frigid temperatures by consuming the numerous human victims of the TLW disease.<br />
      <strong><br />
      Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      Bring along a be bee gun, the crows may or may not have anything to do with the disease but by killing them you can ensure that at least your remains aren&#8217;t eaten by the flying scavengers.</p>

<p>      A giant herd of caribou like dinosaurs with antlers reveals what only a few brave scientists have theorized. This herd  appears as wind to the uninfected only to appear and kill their victims once infected by the disease.</p>
<p>        <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      Take a Bible with you this whole evolution thing is incompatible with the creation theory of God making everything in seven days. The book many not only save your spirit but it might just make these make-believe creatures  disappear.</p>

<p>      Originally the movie was going to be shot in the grassy forests of Alaska. When ANWAR became more relevant filming was moved further north and one early shot was left in showing the test well much further south in a grassy area.</p>
<p>      <strong>Retard Survival Tip:</strong><br />
      The test well is nothing more than a large refrigerator sized pandora&#8217;s box. Covering it with Chernobyl style domes will lock the deadly disease causing gases inside. With the small size of the well an oversized salad bowl or camping tent should do the trick as the well cap is apparently only a few feet high.<br />

In 2003, Anderson claimed she was not expected to live for more than 10 or 15 years after contracting the disease from ex-husband Tommy Lee &#8211; but last October the former Baywatch star announced her determination to defy all odds and cure the virus completely. </p>
<p>      Her numbers would be higher, but her looks are on the downhill slope and she can&#8217;t rely on her acting skills to pay her phone bill.</p>

<p>      Victoria Beckham the former Spice Girl turned freakish alien example of plastic surgery gone too far (ala Michael Jackson) would be the wealthiest on this list if her and her husband didn&#8217;t manage money like Fannie Mae. The poster couple for nouveau riche jet sets around the world buying up orchards and reportedly Victoria aka &quot;Poche Spice&quot; sports a seven million dollar ring.</p>

<p>      Paris neglected to pay off her bills for a storage unit and her belongings were auctioned off. Thanks once again to that storage locker which held more secrets than the chest in Raiders of the Lost Ark, a <a href="http://www.hollywoodgrind.com/paris-hilton-has-herpes-medical-records-prove/" target="_blank">medical record/prescription</a> info insert emerged for a drug called Valtrex, which is used to treat outbreaks of genital herpes. </p>
<p>      The troubled celebutante, sort of actress, sort of singer was formerlly a professional heiress was but written out of the will for her crazy antics. That cost her more than fifty million dollars and at least two spots on this list.</p>

<p>      This former child model went on to become a late-teen Disney movie star to wild party girl with not much of an acting future. By all accounts she has given up men and is set to marry Samantha Ronson within a year.</p>
<p>      Prior to switching teams Lohan went through more male actors than a catering truck. She has recently taken a break from acting to drive under the influence and get back her girlish figure in rehab centers.</p>

<p>      Her career has tapered off since two succesful TV shows (Charmed and Who&#8217;s The Boss) and her career is mostly limited to B Movies and the Sci-Fi Channel. </p>
<p>      She is sweet, loves sports and visits the troops so with her good looks you could probably put up with the odd flare up.</p>

<p>      Britney&#8217;s well telivised downward spiral has led her to wake up in more than one strange bed after a drug filled evening of partying. This former member of the Mickey Mouse Club even kissed Madonna on the lips, and that&#8217;s roughly equivelent to locking lips with a half dozen Bangkok prostitutes. She has been doucmented  buying Zovirax in Kentwood.</p>
<p>      The head shaving, well publicised drug problems, losing her children to Kevin Federline and massive weight gain have all taken their toll on her career and more importantly her cash supplies.</p>

<p>      Janet Jackson had a list of her perscriptons leaked online. Here is a <a href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/janetmeds1.html" target="_blank">link</a> from smoking gun with her actual perscription for Zovirax (an antiviral drug, a synthetic nucleoside analogue, that is active against the herpes viruses,)</p>
<p>      She has the highest wealth on the list but looks too much like her child fondling brother Michael to score too high on this list. Besides at 42 she is one of the oldest on this list and is prone to massive (Oprah-esque) weight gains.</p>

<p>      Katie seems like a nice enough child bride in the happy Scientology family. She would rank higher in wealth, but signed a $40 million dollar prenuptual agreement with Tom Cruise. I think for $40 million I would let the man nearly twice her age slobber all over me and give me herpes.</p>

    If left unchecked this promiscuous vixens aren&#8217;t just a threat to Hollywood &#8211; they are a threat to the general public. If we can&#8217;t control these celebrities the entire world will be infected with STD&#8217;s at least three months before the planet melts and we die from global warming. These worst case computer models show just how real the threat to the country is:<br />

<p>Imagine an eco-friendly world, when our home&#8217;s energy is supplied by solar power.  Imagine a world where everyone has the same size home with no more homeless and no more envy.  Dee Williams of Olympia Washington has found the future of housing with her new prototype home.  Add the mortgage crisis as one more thing these tiny $10,000 homes can solve.  Made from recycled materials this home is the future and can be parked in a driveway.</p>

<p>This two story house of the future features two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 4 wheels and prices around $10,000 (depending on options).</p>

<p>&#8220;A simpler life, time, more money. I don&#8217;t have a mortgage. I don&#8217;t have a big utility bill,&#8221; Dee says.</p>
<p>Her monthly heating bill in the winter is $6, less in the summer.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m able to offer money to my family if they need it, (and to) my friends if they need it,&#8221; says Dee.</p>
