peace sign

1)"The 70s" peace symbol
A combination of the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D", standing for Nuclear Disarmament. In semaphore the letter "N" is formed by a person holding two flags in an upside-down "V", and the letter "D" is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down. These two signals imposed over each other form the shape of the peace symbol (coincidentally, considering the organization for which it was created, resembling a stylized, skeletal missile). In the original design the lines widened at the edge of the circle.

2)see V Sign
The hippies needed a way to proclaim their peace so they had Gerald Holtom draw up a symbol.

Peace Pout

The pose all the scene/emo/whatever they prefer to be called kids seem to be pulling off these days.. as soon as someone whips out a camera they instantly do the peace sign and pout to the side.

This can also be expanded to the Flying Peace Pout- for those who can pull the pose at the drop of a hat. The split second a camera is held in position to take a photo they lunge infront and diplay the most ridiculous flying peace pout known to man.
Holy shit dude, that emo chick is pulling the peace pout in EVERY one of her facebook photos.. what a shithead!

peak oil 

Peak oil is the midpoint of all oil production. Oil production whether its from a single oil well, an oil field or the whole world follows a bell shaped curve. After you reach the top of this curve the well goes into decline and will never produce more oil than it did at the peak. Decline rates are usually around 3-4%, but if sea water injection is used (or natural gas) like in Saudi Arabia decline rates will be as high as 10% a year or higher.

Largest known reserves goes as follows:
Saudi Arabia with about 25% of the world recoverable oil
Iran with 10%
and Iraq with 10%

The United States is in the biggest pickle of all, with 5 percent fo the worlds population but using up an astonishing 25 percent of the oil the entire world produces every year, the US economy feels even the smallest fluctuations in the price of oil more than other countries.

Dates for when oil production will peak range from anyday now to 2040. But most group in tight around 2010-2015.

For every barrel of oil we use, we discover only one quarter of a barrel, that is to say, we use four times the amount of oil than we find. Oil discoveries peaked in the 1960's.
For a general idea, oil discoveries inside the United States peaked in the 30's and then oil production inside the United States peaked in the early 70's. So roughly fourty years later. Mind you, consumption of oil wasnt slowed down during that time period like it was during the 70's, 80's and 90's by shortages in supply and the following high prices.

So, now knowing that oil production is going to peak, within your lifetime, and that Iraq has the thrid largest oil reserves, do you wonder why the United States is at war?
We're basically fucked, hold on, cherrish your big screen TV's for a few more years, and make the best of the food shortages. Peak oil will not be fun.

A word describing something that’s too good. You’d use this word to describe how good something was. At the peak of the moment.
Man1: ay that was bare jokes
Man2: yeah! That was peak.
