I just know. ;-)

So how much of your yearly carbon allotment do you think you burned up on
the trip?  You're good at numbers.  That should be a cakewalk for you.

The AP article about the different per capita "carbon load" rates was really

turned out to have some of the worst numbers.

First called ?the miracle vine,? kudzu eventually came to be known as ?the
vine that ate the South.
