    1. Notice there are only 2 amp, no stage monitors and perhaps Jimmy Page has a single peddle for effect.

      Plus they never wore environmentally UNFRIENDLY anti-bacterial socks…

      Heard of those? I’m shocked RB hasn’t had a report on them yet.

      They are made with nano technology silver which removes the bacteria that creates smelly feet. Yes your feet smell because of the bacteria eating at your toes.

      Researchers experimented on 6 different brands (you can google to see who makes them) washing the socks in pure distilled water

      so no other minerals, etc. would be in the water. After the FIRST wash, all the silver was washed right out of the socks…so much for this new rip off product.

      Secondly is the more important environmental concern. This water gets washed into a city’s water recycling supply where the silver nanobots destroy bacteria needed in water processing plants.

      Also, this water also ends up in fresh water (oxymoron) where silver can affect gills of fish and cause them other major physical problems.

      Moral of the story: AVOID BUYING THESE ANTIBACTERIAL SOCKS AND WASH YOUR FEET INSTEAD.

      Also, there are face clothes and other cloth products incorporating this same new technology that has begun to proliferate the marketplace.

      The same applies to these products.

      So if you care about this planet, keep clean and avoid these new disturbing products.

      Imagine what’s ahead as nanotechnology advances. If these simple products were never tested and released on the market without hesitation, what, pray tell, is next?

      Governments should regulate any nano tech product as the dangers posed by the above example illustrates

      For some strange reason we insane accept anything hi-tech today.

      Sometimes cool isn’t cool at all.

    As far as food shortages go, you can thank Mr. Virgin Airlines
    and his ilk who think bio-fuels are the answer to our energy crisis.
    The stupidity of intelligent people underwhelms me.

    These articles sort of touch on the problem.
