    Interesting, but typical that humans destroy things to “analyze” them. And isn’t concrete supposed to be a one of the worst air quality offenders? Try pouring thirty tons of cement down a whale’s throat and see what Greenpeace has to say about it.

    And even sadder, your comments page has two link ads for professional exterminators !!!

    @seefish3: Hm, that makes sense. The ads are contextually targeted, and what kind of companies purchase ads on the keyword “ant”? Exterminators!

    This is what’s wrong with Upcoming Queue, a generic text entry gets on the homepage and it just links to someone’s personal blog..and about a subject already covered better. The regular Neato writers do just fine on their own.
