    "In the year 2005, helicopters will yank trees out of the ground like so many daisies. The pilots try not to think about slamming back into the ground when a particularly tough pine refuses to give way. How does he know which one's to yank? Because the advance team has pumped them so full of radioactive isotopes that they set off a Geiger counter five hundred feet in the air.  

    Try not to think about it."

    "This automated fishing boat/processing plant is so efficient, that the men have forgotten what a fish looks like.  

    It's rumoured that the Bosun didn't know they were a fishing vessel and was under the impression that they were the Ramsgate ferry."

    "Banks and other financial speculators are increasingly "betting on food prices in financial markets," according to this infographic from the World Development Movement. Food prices now account for 70 percent of total expenses in some of the world's poorer households, hitting a record high in February. Looking forward, the OECD estimates that over the next decade cereal prices will rise 20 percent. That's still less than meat prices, which are expected to jump by nearly a third."
