Good catch, Zowie - I must admit, I quoted the website directly on that and had no idea on what the shutter speed equivalent of taking a blast 7 miles away with a 10 foot lens.
Hi Fennec - according to the article: "Instead of 1 litre of gasoline, 2.5 kg of wood is spent. 20 kg of wood are consumed after 100 km which means that driving "on wood" is up to 10 times cheaper than the conventional driving using gasoline. And that is not the only advantage of this kind of driving - exhaust fumes from wood have a lot less harmful components: the environment is being less polluted."
I don't know if it's true, though since as you say wood is a pretty dirty fuel, as anyone who has a wood pellet stove can attest (even a new pellet stove is 2,500x dirtier than a gas furnace, a href="http://www.webcom.com/~bi/home-heating.htm>reference).
Why is this one disgusting or disturbing, Pogee? I thought it was a triumph of a woman's perseverence and determination to have a child, regardless of the challenges of her disease.
Wait - 10 foot lens? They *make* that?
John - less bacteria than the ice in the drinks? There's something wrong there...
