yeah i don't really know if i was being facetious or serious or not. it's a mind boggling amount of water that has been lost, and there is also a mind boggling amount of fresh water in the great lakes that people in the area don't really think about. i grew up right on the shore of lake ontario and the attitude we had was "ugh, lake effect snow sucks and it's probably all polluted, don't go in there"

yet it's 1600 cubic kilometers of fresh water that is practically clean enough to drink as long as you don't care about the occasional case of giardia. half the world would kill for that.

if i were allowed to specify what my tax dollars were spent on i would allocate at least 40% to bombarding the earth with comets and i would encourage others to do the same

only the shoreline of former industrial centers is gross and even that is fine because it's all settled to the bottom. Lake Erie has some v nice beaches

self-deprecation is a very british trait, and problems can arise when the british attempt to do so with a foreign culture

the earth is a closed water loop, no water has been lost.

Every year, when Joel Greenblatt kicks off his value and special-situation investing class at Columbia Business School, he makes his students a guarantee. "If they are good at valuing businesses, the market will agree with them, typically within two or three years," says Greenblatt, who has been an adjunct professor since 1996.

While he can't make any such guarantees to investors, his track record lends validity to this thesis. Using an über-concentrated deep-value approach, the hedge fund he founded in 1985 produced 34% average annual gains, after fees and expenses, for the first decade. At the end of 1994, Greenblatt and his longtime partner, Rob Goldstein, concluded that their growing asset base would impede future returns because their approach was so narrow. They returned shareholders' money and stopped taking outside investments—though they kept their staff and continued to manage their own capital.
