Just wanted to give this thread a bump. The health of the oceans matters to all living creatures, including us. The BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is a reminder that we need to take more care of our oceans. I found the book Sea Sick by Alanna Mitchell to be very interesting and readable. Does anyone else out there have any other book recommendations on the subject? Thanks.

RE: Tattoo signatures - yay or nay?
It's Paul's show. I suspect he wouldn't be doing it if he didn't enjoy seeing how much of a kick his fans and the audience gets out of it. Afterall, Paul chooses which signs he will acknowledge. When Paul stops responding to the tattoo signs, you'll get the hint and people will try something different on their signs. In the meantime, the tattoo thing is what it is and most people are sharing in the happiness of the few who achieved their dream. Ladies, enjoy your tattoos. Lots of us are delighted for you.

RE: Sea Sick
For any boardies living in Canada, airing tonight on the CBC is a four-part documentary on the Nature of Things about how the oceans are the key to life, called One Ocean. Sounds like it will cover many of the topics mentioned in the book Sea Sick by Alanna Mitchell that I recommended earlier in this thread. Anyone interested can visit the website at www.oneocean.cbc.ca. for more information about the documentary or to watch episodes online. I'm sure it will be interesting. I think we all need to become more concerned/involved in the state of our oceans. Watching this documentary will be a good way to start.

Sea Sick
Hello all, I just finished reading a very interesting book called Sea Sick The Global Ocean in Crisis by Alanna Mitchell, published in 2009. It concerns the dire situation facing us all if increased CO2 emissions continue to alter the conditions in the worlds oceans. Turns out we are even more intimately connected with the condition of the oceans than the atmosphere - which tends to get more attention. It is a fascinating and readable book. It has increased relevance now as we contemplate the horrors of the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It is also an appreciation of the richness and mysteries of 90% of life on earth - which is actually in the oceans and not on land. I recommend this book for anyone interested in having a better understanding of what it will take to ensure continued life on this planet. It's such a lovely planet. It's our home. Why don't we take better care of it?

RE: What Beatles Item did you last buy?
An enamel character pin of Paul McCartney from the old Saturday morning cartoon show that ran from '65-'69. It's Fab!

RE: "beatle-esque" songs by different bands
The song "I Get Along' by the Pet Shop Boys from their album "Release" has a very Beatle feel to it. Enjoy the music.
