Manufactured popcorn to make producers rich. Einsteinians have more substance that that dross.

Possibly. But it's rather more likely that he just wanted to see if you'd do it. :-)

 

Oh. So it wouldn't have turned brittle and just dropped off ? by itself...?

Anyway to distract you from your worries, here's a cuddly chap called Dindi :

He lives in the new koala enclosure at our local wildlife sanctuary and is just nodding off after the munchies on those young gum leaves you see around him.

Cheers, Mike.

*point at Dindi*  this ---^ is why I want to live in a tree. That one, or that one next to it looks perfect... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :)

The last time I used a trigger mechanism with a nozzle stuff was supposed to come out of, the bottle fell off so it didn't. Only spilled three-quarters though :) At a 45 degree angle my quick thinking to hang it off the tube then manoeuvre it at an urgent pace against a wall so that it wouldn't snap, snapped it in half. Spraying things upside down from cans causes me some spatial awareness problems as to quite where the stuff that does come out will come out though, I admit.

 

Did you get a bath in the end?

 

@ all the lovely einsteinians EVERYWHERE: No one's won yet... but won't be too long before someone does :)  

 

 

 

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Well, we went from a high of 75 yesterday to a high of 40 today.  Below freezing tonight and the s word is in the forecast. 
Why can't I find a magical location on earth where it's 60 and sunny everyday.

60 and sunny.  Nope.  60 every day try Huntington Beach CA.  Sunny everyday try Barstow CA.  Good compromise of both try San Marino CA or Beverly Hills CA.

We have more trees here than you can ..... shake a stick at. You want a good one, nice aspect, good branch forking*, artistic character, stability in the wind, pleasant fragrance, close to the pub etc. Don't get a ghost gum ( the white ones ) as they drop a limb just from quantum spacetime fluctuations. Mountain ash has outstanding views, including of whatever everyone else is up to, but that's at 150+ feet up ( exclusive of the height of the mountain ). Redgum is great to look at, but you have to like rivers and swamps. Now the other types are just a bunch of straggly stuff in bad neighbourhoods. No serious geometry in any of them and if there are various burn marks about then move along. You should also keep a decent piece of four-by-two by your side. Some possums can get a bit pushy, plus most raptors will be very insistent if you're ensconced in a four way-er fork* ( ideal nesting spot ).

Cheers, Mike.

* So which is the easiest place to sit ? I'd go for at least a three way-er for gentle back support. Two ways is rubbish as you spend all day wishing you chose better. Four way-ers are a bit of a tight bum fit, but then you have a spare one to sit your drinkies on. As 'spatial awareness' is a dominant issue for you then a four way-er is the best anti-Newtonian-gravity solution. Safety first ! I dare to insult your intelligence by mentioning that with any of them you would likely nominate a particular 'ablutions' branch.

Sorry we have none of these

Sorry, we have none of these electric telephones that you speak of. We use the 'bush telegraph' ie. don't telephone, tell a woman ! :-))

So if you ask for 'wifi' you'll be asked : why not Fi(ona)? :-)

Cheers, Mike.
