But this has never stopped the Australian toilet & bathtub industry from designing commodes and tubs which funnel water in a direction specified to confound northern visitors and amuse locals.

Yep, I've always found toilets that spit water at other people to be amusing...
Or better yet, that dis-embodied voices that promise death and ruin (what are the odds of that?) |

Missiles shouldn't get a penalty unless they're seriously not doing their job.

I think it's all accounted for in the skill being used. No one is going to be using shipboard gun systems (which are about the scale at which the coriolis "force" becomes a big deal... oooh there's funny stories about that....) without a knowledge of the effect on their shells. On a lighter note, Troy Aikman (sp?) once said that he accounted for the rotation of the Earth when he threw long passes on the football field (hence, covered by the throwing/non-aerodynamic skill). Um, yeah... right. Good call, Troy.

Hey, it's perfectly reasonable to do that. Just throw the ball a few what, micrometers to one side? :)

As an Australian I will state that winter dose not always mean cold.
In the northern parts you have a tropical climate. In the centre you have a typical desert. It’s hot during the day and cold during the night. In summer the days are longer in winter the nights are longer but it will still be hot in the day and clot at night. I would like to see proper snow throw some snowballs an run around. I think it would be a enjoyable experience for a few hours if properly clothed but after spending hours standing in rain and hail I know how un-fun cold can be. And there is something very fine about water skiing on boxing day When I was in New Zealand on a scout ture we saw a glacier and one of the scouts filled a bottle with glacier ice intending to take it home, the general opinion was it tasted good If a bit flowery.

Go to Thredbo, or one of the other ski resorts in the Snowy Mountains (really just glorified hills) during the Oz winter. There's enough snow, with the added bonus that you can leave it behind at a moment's notice. :) |

A couple of summers ago (I'm Brisbane based), it was one of those nasty 40 degree celcius days with high 90 percent humidity. Hot enough to fry an egg in the shade. Too damn hot to even sit inside the well ventilated house. The entire extended family grabbed blankets and sat outside in the eastern shade cast by the house. We sat, and sweated. It was too damn hot to do anyything else. The kind of day where certain non-Aussie trees have started wilting by midday, and need a spray of water if you want them to see next summer. A white X-mas? Not necessarilly. Just one that isn't so damn blearghh!!. |
