Thank you for not making a lot of comments on politics. There are plenty of other places to find incendiary comment. That is one reason I quit going to boingboing. You're doing a great job.
In Louisiana, we call those FEMA Trailers. They are being burned up because of emitting toxic levels of formaldehyde or gluteraldehyde. I think, though, that they cost more than these, because they were government issue.

Consider that this is a teacher who should know that his disrespect for authority, the law, and common sense will be noted and filed away and possibly someday imitated by his young passengers. I'll be more careful the next time I visit the UK.
There are contrarian views that posit electromagnetic forces being responsible for the phenomena that have led many to theorize about the so-called expanding universe. I find it fascinating, as usual, that contrarian views (such as those of my favorite, James Hogan) based on scientific observation are suppressed, until a tipping point is reached. What color was that Tyrannosaurus, again?
