New anti-gargoyle coatings are more effective.

Yes I know that happened ten years after they joined NATO.

Because the USA wanted a place to put missiles. (and then complained when the USSR put missiles in Cuba)

That's an odd way to pronounce "bone".:)

Then you really need one of these.

Queue the lumberjack song.

I hope the MRI machine wasn't damaged.

It is definitely bereft of life.

Thank Ted. The physics of a hydrogen tanks rupture would be an interesting thing to model. ( I wouldn't know where to start)
On the other hand it depends how and where the hydrogen is generated....

Quite a lot of the civilised world.

Good luck tonight Northerners.
Stay safe.

It's been a hell of a five years, and she wants a life.
I'm not a huge fan but she has done very well, in some of the most "interesting" times.

It will be interesting to see who wants the job....

One of ours is broody, and the other two don't like the heat, so supply is a bit patchy.
Also they have taken to hiding them in random places

Do vegan tyres automatically dodge hedgehogs?

"Pure ground beef" A.K.A not adding any ingredients to improve the texture or flavour.
Cheap, consistent, and marketable.

A small step up from "genuine cow product" I guess.

Happy Christmas to All!

In the song the Corvette wasn't stock so all bets are off. Six tail lights are worth at least 80hp.

Evidently the Skodas aren't popular in town either - cramped. My nieces husband was most annoyed when his department's Commodore started getting commandeered by others.

I haven't seen anything...

You see things like that a lot in the media. An approximate guess in Imperial, converted to metric to three decimal places. "Winds approaching 144.8 km/h"

Congratulations Prof and Dad!
I was thinking of you the other week, wondering what became of you.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures over the years.

Then what will I watch on a Sunday evening?

The recent Women's Rugby World Cup was excellent.

The OP is a very short "cut and cover" tunnel.

I swam in Lake Pukaki (next lake south) once upon a very long time ago. As well as being very cold the glacial lakes have lots of suspended rock flour, so the water is almost opaque. It was a bit...

The Multipla went from ugly, in a distinctively quirky way, to dull looking.
I haven't been in one but those who have them seem to love them and enjoy their looks

That Citroen concept is just...

I wonder if the two-stage collapse was intentional.
If it wasn't, there would have been some nervous people until it fell.

You can drill a hole through the tiller and both sides of the rudder head then thread a piece of line about the same diameter as the hole with a knot on each end. If the fit is nice this works...

Good man Barney
Unborn generations thank you, even if they never know.

I'm trying to figure out why it gives 124 spider vibes.
The headlight buckets are closer to a MGB.
The bonnet looks a bit like a GT6 with maybe some Frua mixed n.
With the hard top on it looks...

Not complete but you can see the top of it.

Here it is hooked over a knob behind the slot to keep it out of the way when launching.
The red plaited bit acts as a handle and ties tight...

I've used this in a number of boats and find it works well.
The blue and black lines are the same bungy in two different positions (Black on over the top for beating, Blue around the back for...

Pretty common in NZ as well
There are at least six active surf life saving clubs around Christchurch, which is fairly surprising given the temperature of the water.

Bugger. That makes me want to cry too.

One or two coats of thinned varnish? Runny enough that it soaks in and will only take a wash and quick sand when you want to do a proper job

Glad to hear it hasn't been too bad so far Pete, and I hope you have no long term effects.

I'll second the "don't do too much too soon". My son has been wiped out for a few weeks now, possibly...

What if someone hid a gun in a hollowed out book? Are they going to ban.......

Oh I see where this is going.

Is it resistant to chickens?
My back lawn sure as heck isn't.

My floppy sailing hat has a piece of foam in the crown. I should help it float (lesson learned from losing the last one) and it does help a bit if I misjudge the boom (lesson still not well learned).

The chart in post 24 shows the contestant originally selecting the correct door six times out of twelve.
I am quite certain there is a fundamental error right there.

Another way of looking at it is if Monty doesn't open either of "his" doors but asks "Do you want to change from your door to the best option of my two doors?" If you swap, there is a 2/3 chance that...

So if your original pick remains at 1/3, the probability of the prize being one of the other two choices must be 2/3 and you now know not to pick one of those.

If, as you assert, that it was not...

Nick. How does Monty's removal of on of the doors that you did not pick retroactively change the chance of you choosing the right door first, from 1/3 to 1/2 ?

Your chance would be 50/50 if you had not already made the original choice - but you did.

Your original choice splits the three cards into two sets. The card you chose (probability of including...

Tinkerbell complex.

Elbonia.

We have just had a step in the other direction. It's about 10°C colder than last week. Autumn has finally arrived with a light frost.

I would be very surprised if engine oil from a generator would spontaneously catch fire at ambient temperature. That and bearing grease are formulated to not oxidise quickly at their normal operating...

Looks tasty. What sauce are you using Paul?
