Science, anyone?
So, high levels of thermite were found in the ash - considering what thermite IS, that is not surprising to find when large sections of an aluminum plane basically vaporise in a steel (main ingredient: iron) building. As far as being a major contributing factor before or to the explosions, thermite can be unpredictable to start, is much more an incendiary than an explosive, and would not be the 'explosive' of choice for anyone needing precision timing.

Pizza's are easy, just time consuming. I make my own pizza dough and sauce, know what goes in, and don't suffer the typical heartburn afterwards. Yes it takes longer, but costs less and, IMHO, tastes better. =)

Take a train .... on a Sunday?!
Pfft
Simply everyone knows Sunday is when you're supposed to burn your God given fossil fuels to drive your SUV to church then across town to lunch so you can show off your fancy clothes to a whole new crowd of people and afterwards take a meandering, long leisurely drive for a few hours at 15 MPH under the speed limit. God didn't kill all those dinosaurs for us to not use the oil, d'uh.
And who would need to take a train after leaving a bar late? Really, now, it's not like anyone has been drinking while they were there.
On Rail system for entire Dallas-Fort Worth area could be on its way

sigh
He's moving into Preston Hollow here in Dallas. Yes, 'that' Preston Hollow.
That whole "ranch" thing was to make him appear more good ol' boy Texan - just "a regular guy" not some rich kid with connections. He's afraid of horses and only bought the ranch when he thought of running for President. Connecticut born and Midland/Houston reared just doesn't have the same panache as "a cowboy from Crawford".
As far as money, seems his 'little lady' just signed a rather lucrative book deal that should make up for any insufficiencies of income, just in case oil, ahem, Doesn't skyrocket in price again.
Anyone interested in some fine Arizona beach front property?
On George Bush's post-presidency return to Dallas will be pretty cushy

Kind of hard to miss a "big red fire truck with its flashing red lights on" - oh, yeah, that's right, he didn't miss it.

However, at this point Morpheus calls through Hypnus's voice. When it comes to arguments over the internet, I willingly bow to their superiority and am off to bed. I have no issue with letting the barking dogs bark - the caravan passes on.
When it comes to the realm of us mere mortals and our "politics" ... In the words of a destined-to-be-forgotten-in-time bard:
"I will not lie down. I will not go quietly."

Rawlins - well, as a hetero female your opinion that Michelle Obama is "hot" doesn't really sway me as much as some may like.
I would be more likely to give my vote to someone, anyone (diehard liberal or gung ho conservative) who would get the gumption to pull themselves erect and state "I stand for this, period and I don't give a damn what the polls say". However, since I"ve been of voting age (and even before) this country has yet to see such a candidate. Instead we have the Carters, the Clintons, the Bushes, the Gores, the McCains, the people who hedge their bets that the America populace is emotionally and educationally ignorant and therefore voting based on fear or idealism or both.
As a geek, I hold even less belief in ANY electronic voting mechanisms. (And people thought paper ballots could be manipulated!! HA!!)
As it stands, my voice, when November comes around, will not be heard because this country is blindly tied into an archaic two party system that long ago stopped listening to the people - those same people who accept this assinity because they think they longer have a choice. Show me, in the Constitution, that ONLY two parties should/could/would speak for us all. Too many of us decide our candidates due to one party or the other. I'm not a registered anything, and I seriously doubt that will ever change.
I'm still going to vote, that is my duty. I just hold no illusions that it will mean a tinker's damn. ... Sigh.

Sorry, was keeping the explanation at the level of the 'science' used for proof. Even nanothermite would not be the substance of choice for what the theorists claim. Choice between arguing online over ultrasonification and/or "the government's" access to much more effective explosives or shrugging and accepting the futility of the first choice: I'm taking the second option.
