Using the same junk science and the same microscopic-sample sizes our so-called ``scientists'' at NASA, OSHA and EPA use when they measure Earth's temperature or the ozone layer, I have just completed an experiment.
Every so often for the past five years I have driven to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront and scooped up a teaspoon of sand. I've used these samples to test the silicon content, the substance we humans use to make glass. Over this five-year period, I have noticed a distinct decrease in silicon at the rate of
Using a computer program I obtained by sending in a box top from a package of breakfast cereal, and a $1.98 calculator, I have come to the indisputable conclusion, based on the same 100 percent pure science used by our government agencies, that by the year 2015 the world will no longer have enough silicon to manufacture glass.
I have concluded that this depletion is being caused by human beings trespassing and thereby destroying the beaches throughout the world. I am therefore writing a letter to Congress asking that the global use of beaches be restricted exclusively to sea gulls, crabs, clams, sea turtles, etc.
