Microscopic: anagram of 'prismic coco', or: amount of brain used by average driver in peak hour traffic at holiday time.

Define: hot*

It's supposed to be 43C here today, was 41c yesterday.

PS: some time ago it was claimed that NZ was at the bottom of the world. This is not so, for if yo consider the globe you see all the land at the other end of the world, and all the water down our end. Dirt sinks in water, so it must follow that all the dirt in the 'northern; hemisphere has sunk, so Antartica must therefore be at the top of the world.

If anyone disagrees then don't bother to tell me, I just live here.


happy New Year to all, regardless of date line.
