Because it doesn’t matter. Meteorologist Dr. William Gray calls Al Gore’s global warming movement garbage: the Earth is on a warming and cooling cycle, and the impact by humans is too small to have a global effect on the Earth [via Virginia]. I was never really convinced about the whole global warming thing—we’ll see who’s theories win in a couple of years.

Why? The same thing occurs on the lids of the pre-packaged cups. But i doubt Bill Cosby put it there just so you could lick the lid. Does it splash onto the cover while you put it in the refrigerator? Perhaps. But that can’t be why—the blob will be there even if you’re super-careful to not spill or slosh. I think what’s happening is jello steam from the recently-boiled liquid gets trapped and collected by the cover, and ends up setting into almost-drips hanging from the wrap. Never really thought about it before.

“Over night, seismic activity at Mount St. Helens has accelerated significantly, which increases our level of concern that current unrest could culminate in an eruption. [...] Earthquakes are occurring at about four per minute.”
