lol speaking of environmentally friendly
in the wake of all the concern about global warming etc etc, allow me to bravely bear the wrath of hardcore environmentalists when i say this - i don't believe in solar energy. and why? well simply because the bulk of the electricity i personally use comes from my night time activities - i.e. turning the lights on so i can read/use internet etc. moreover, what are you going to do when the sky becomes cloudy?? what if it rains?? what if a bird lands and sits on your solar panel ?!? forgive me for my overactive imagination, but i believe i am silmply stating the facts lol. and yes singapore has been horrendously cloudy of late, and it seemingly chooses to be cloudy only when i want to go swimming, or when i am just about to leave the house. evil, evil clouds. otherwise, it is simply blazing hot. rarr.
of course the propositioned marriage of solar powered appliances and electrical appliances does sound wonderfully magical, but til then, i am staying off the solar powered route for now. anyways, the excerpt below from the wonderfully amusing http://www.notalwaysright.com has made my day and laid my case on the flaws of solar energy to rest. enjoy!

Teller: “Good morning sir, how may I help you?”
Me: “Good morning, please may I withdraw 100 billion?”
(This is about 1 US dollar.)
Teller: “I’m very sorry sir, but we do not have enough sun.”
Me: “What!?”
Teller: “We cannot give you money because we do not have enough sun.”
Me: “Why do you need sun to give me money?”
Teller: “Oh, we are having a power cut, and the solar panel isn’t receiving enough sun to run the computers.”
Me: *laughs* “Thank you very much for the best excuse, ever.”
Teller: “You’re welcome sir, have a good day.”
