Daily Darwin – AGW Golfing Genome

Darwin gleefully points out that this AGW Handicapped golfer should have taken the ‘effing penalty stroke rather than playing it off of the water hazard. Now his genomes get penalized 1 stroke for the whiff and 2 strokes for the frozen balls. Err…genomes.

Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors

Spring Nor’Easter Update – Diving For Cherry Blossoms

NBC4 Washington reports, “Cherry Blossoms Endangered If Temperature Drops to 24 Degrees“.

A major nor’easter is expected to sweep up the East Coast, bringing with it snow, cold temperatures and high winds. That could be dangerous for Washington’s beloved cherry blossoms.

Low temperatures of 27 degrees would result in about a 10 percent loss of blossoms, National Park Service officials said. If the temperature drops to 24 degrees or colder, it could kill as much as 90 percent of the pink-petaled wonders.

AGW – ‘You’re So Vain’, DiCaprio Style – updated

Well, I guess the whole ‘effing AGW-Climate Change-Global Warming (AKA: Weather) thing isn’t as important as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar eyebrows.  This hypocritical bit of vanity is from the Independent, “Leonardo DiCaprio flew eyebrow artist 7,500 miles to do his brows for the Oscars“.  Add those 5 tons of CO2 to the wacky-weed in your pipe and puff away, Leo.

How much effort do you put into the appearance of your eyebrows? Tinting? Threading? Pencilling in? Plucking the strays? Or perhaps nothing at all?

Well if you’re an A-lister with the eyes of the world watching, it seems no length is too extreme to ensure your brows are perfect.

Australian eyebrow-artist to the stars Sharon-Lee Hamilton was flown from Sydney to Los Angeles to tend to a select few celebrities’ brows before the 2017 Oscars.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are reportedly two members of the Hollywood elite who insisted on Hamilton flying the 7,500 across the Pacific Ocean, despite DiCaprio’s environmental stance.
