Knock Nevis

The Knock Nevis is a massive ship, currently used as a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO). Owned by the Norwegian company Fred Olsen Production,[1] she was previously a supertanker and still holds the record as the longest ship ever built.

When plying the sea, the vessel had a fully laden draft of 24.6 m (81 ft), rendering it unable to navigate the English Channel, the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal when its load was up to capacity.[6] As a tanker she was known as the Seawise Giant, Happy Giant, and Jahre Viking.

from the comments of this article

" Oh yes, please berate our country some more oh, western overlords. We all know that Americans, Europeans, Chinese, Russians, Scandinavians, certainly don't overfish their oceans and live at peace with the undersea inhabitants. (No emoticon with eyes large enough to roll for this one)

When all of you stop fishing, whaling, slaughtering, and cooking life on this planet for yourselves, please feel free to make an arrogant supercilious documentary and I'm sure we'll all file in to listen to your moving sermons.

The only reason the anti-whaling/fishing crowd (Sea Shepard, I'm looking at you) and their ilk continue to reproach Japan is because any other country would call in their navy to lay the smackdown on these hypocritical troublemakers."

Kinda nice to see the Japanese fight back after all this time. Point and game.

That's mighty white of him

For the first time, one Mr. Polanski’s lawyers, Georges Kiejman, floated on Wednesday the idea of a possible return in an interview with the radio station Europe 1. “If this process drags on, it is not completely impossible that Roman Polanski could choose to go finally to explain himself in the United States where the arguments in his favor exist,” he said.

I think I'll try that someday; agreeing to be tried for my crimes.

Swiss court orders Polanski kept in jail

Roman Polanski suffered another setback in his fight against extradition to the United States on Tuesday when a Swiss court ordered the 76-year-old director kept in jail because he poses a high flight risk.

They should let him go so he can escape back to the U.S. He knows that's where the girls are.
That way we'll save on the extradition flight.

EVA

Ethylene vinyl acetate (also known as EVA) is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. The weight percent vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 40%, with the remainder being ethylene.

It is a polymer that approaches elastomeric materials in softness and flexibility, yet can be processed like other thermoplastics. The material has good clarity and gloss, barrier properties, low-temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive water proof properties, and resistance to UV radiation. EVA has little or no odor and is competitive with rubber and vinyl products in many electrical applications.

Applications

Hot melt adhesives, hot glue sticks, are usually made from EVA, usually with additives like wax and resin. EVA is also used as a clinginess-enhancing additive in plastic wraps.

2007 Groundhog Day tornado outbreak

The 2007 Groundhog Day tornado outbreak was a localized, but devastating tornado event that took place in central Florida early on February 2, 2007. Early morning temperatures had risen well above average for the season, which, combined with increased moisture and a powerful jet stream, created enough instability and wind shear for thunderstorms to rotate and spawn tornadoes. Due to the conditions, a long-tracked supercell formed and produced three tornadoes during a one hour and 17 minute time frame. The supercell resulted in a 70 mile (110 km) trail of damage.

Algaemia

Algaemia refers to the condition where green algae is found in the blood.
