    from farce to reality, in less than thirty minutes:

    RBC chief defends bank's oil sands work

    Royal Bank of Canada's chief executive officer, Gordon Nixon, faced a tongue lashing by two environmental activists today as he answered questions at an industry conference in Toronto. ...

    He defended his bank's "balanced approach" in taking such investment decisions, adding the industry would continue to finance energy, mining and forest product companies.

    "Look, when it comes to financing oil and gas companies in Canada, all the Canadian banks and basically all large banks, globally, are active," Nixon said.

    "I think it is important for any financial institution to ensure that they get the right balance in terms of their decision making, between what's in the economic interest and what's in the interest of society – whether it is environmental, whether it is health care or anything else.

    damn that sounds expensive...
    but what else comes to mind is the fact that giving the heads up to NYPD and UN may cause some asshole to declare that section of the river off-limits during the meeting... i expect some sort of shenanigan that way if only in the name of fighting terrorism :p

    I don't doubt that some money-hungry entrepreneur will think, Hey, that's a great idea! and start selling them.

    "The plan so far is to put a bunch of people in like 50 inflatable "Survivaball" suits"

    Is that like one "Survivaball" suit, per person?

    Were I a New School student, I'd barricade the cafeteria for this outrage. There's no justice until students get personal pneumatic tubes delivering meaty mac-n-cheese directly to their gaping maws.

    The Freshman 15 was the result, in my case, of the hoagie and pizza delivery agencies on campus, not the swill they served in the dining halls.

    @pmarble: Mine were the pints of Ben & Jerry's you could purchase with "Declining Dollars." Oh, and the Snickers and Chex Mix that were readily available in the dorm vending machines.

    Man, just thinking about this is making me hate myself.

    Never understood the concept of the Freshman 15--when I went to college I got away from my mom's meat-and-potato cooking and learned to enjoy sushi. Am I the only one that LOST twenty pounds freshman year?

    @18thCFox: Funny but true and kinda sad story: My parents listened to an entire Oprah and Bob Greene book about getting in shape and improving your long distance running skills, in the car ride before my Freshman year. This was about a 4 hour book, and I was already slightly paranoid about gaining weight, fitting in, blah blah blah. Lost about 15 to 20 that year.

    The cafeteria at USC gave everyone some virus that makes you throw up non-stop for2 days straight. As if I ever had any reason to doubt the wrath of G-d.

    Not to mention, when these college girls bulk up, it makes it much harder for me to stuff them in a wall at their lab. Lighten up on the Ring Dings fatties, I got a job to do too!

    Too soon?
