HOW TO ORDER A BOWL
The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Believe or die
update 10/02: the link above is to a new video not the original . Someone got a copy and put comments on it.
Original post:
This video was created by this group: http://www.1010global.org/
You would think this video was a satire on how intolerant the global warming crowd is but it seems real. Well, maybe it was a joke or satire on themselves.
update from the 10 10 10 website:
"Sorry.
Today we put up a mini-movie about 10:10 and climate change called ‘No Pressure’.
With climate change becoming increasingly threatening, and decreasingly talked about in the media, we wanted to find a way to bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh. We were therefore delighted when Britain’s leading comedy writer, Richard Curtis – writer of Blackadder, Four Weddings, Notting Hill and many others – agreed to write a short film for the 10:10 campaign. Many people found the resulting film extremely funny, but unfortunately some didn’t and we sincerely apologise to anybody we have offended.
As a result of these concerns we’ve taken it off our website.
We’d like to thank the 50+ film professionals and 40+ actors and extras and who gave their time and equipment to the film for free. We greatly value your contributions and the tremendous enthusiasm and professionalism you brought to the project.
At 10:10 we’re all about trying new and creative ways of getting people to take action on climate change. Unfortunately in this instance we missed the mark. Oh well, we live and learn.
Onwards and upwards,
Eugenie, Franny, Daniel, Lizzie and the whole 10:10 team"
Note from TWW: the above apology shows why you need to check this blog before things disappear.

When you find a flaw make it a feature
The buffing wheel grabbed this one and threw it at the wall but it is a good reminder of when you see a work of art and it shows artistic daring it may just mean the artist messed-up.
More who should we believe time
"As mentioned in The New Scientist on September 25th, a recently published study in the journal Global and Planetary Change, reveals that due to deforestation, heating that occurs on the in the day leads to a flow of moist, warm air that flows up the side of the mountain, but that air is not as moist as it once was." ..... "The icepack around Kilimanjaro’s summit is now measured to be approximately 15% of levels measured in 1912. Of course many use Kilimanjaro as a prime example of the effects of climate change. In An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore stated that Kilimanjaro’s glaciers were disappearing because of “global warming”. "

Where is Humpty-Dumpty when we need him
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” -- Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass

Fall life enrichment adventure
Mrs TWW was getting cooped-up in the house so TWW decided to take her out to eat and visit a local tourist attraction. To save time they ate in the car at the tourist attraction and enjoyed a beautiful fall day.
Shoot the males; save the rest
Anti-male sentiment descends on TWW's remote private road probably as a backlash against supposed recent Tea Party election victories.
