T. Boone Pickens flew into Sweetwater, Texas, on his Gulfstream G550

the star of a TV commercial promoting his "Pickens Plan," which aims to
turn Texas into the Saudi Arabia of wind.

Fact: Your Life is Worth 4 Barrels of Oil ...from an energy standpoint, that is. Folks over at The Oil Drum are running the numbers on comparing human labour [sic] to oil. Turns out that running the human machine for 45 years on food-calories uses just about the same amount of energy as contained in four barrels of oil, each of which has a whopping 5.8 million BTUs of energy.

So many, apparently, that a mere two hours after official word came of Ms. Getty's passing, Lifetime issued a press release announcing a 10-episode "Golden Girls" marathon paying tribute to the top 10 "Sophia" episodes, even setting up an online poll for fans to vote for their No. 1 favorite.

The Queen of Sheba, definitely beauty and brains. . . . enough to attract King Solomon. She was definitely a mover and shaker.
I like to call it loose friends and keep your sanity. Often so called friends and I are not like minds. And so I have to leave them alone. That's what a girl geek will do!!
Girl geeks are climbing up the points charts. Girls are pretty smart huh!!
Do Girl Geeks like Snoopy and Linus? I think they are both cute.
I suppose the 2 can go together - beauty and brains. Often readers think the reference is to outer beauty when inner beauty is just as important.
You may not know it but Girl Geeks keep a balance between the pursuit of knowledge and friends and family members that we love. It takes time to grow that brain. Getting that knowledge helps growth. Then we know when to take a break an tend to the other facets of our lives.
Would you rather have your man with pecs or specs? Which turns you on... the brain power or the muscle power?
