Uranium
I’ve worked out what to ask Santa for!
I’d like some uranium, some fluorine and some copper with very small holes in it. With this, I can set up a small enrichment plant in my garage.
I’ve also just remembered a drinking game I invented a while ago. Sadly, I have not yet had chance to try, being tee-sub-total.
It’s called Alcoholics Synonymous, and involves everyone sitting in a big circle and, when it’s their turn (probably determined in a starting-from-somewhere-and-proceeding-clockwise sort of way), they must come up with a word meaning “drunk”. There are certainly hundreds of words which fulfil this requirement. Failure to do so (presumably within a short length of time) results in that person having to take a drink.
Once a trial run has been completed, I shall publish a more complete and refined set of rules.
Just for starters, here’s the relevant lines of the song (”Storm Warning” by I Am Kloot) which reminded me:
“Hell for leather, lathered, drunk,
You’re soused, you’re pissed, you’re sunk,
The jukebox now is drunk,
Just along the way.”
Anyway, this post is just an excuse not to do the work I’m supposed to be getting on with. So I probably better had…

I too am called Andrew Steele and I am not drunk. I would like to draw your attention to this site : : http://phpbb-host.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=25&mforum=animalfights and in particular to this page
http://phpbb-host.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=25&mforum=animalfights because I am interested in a real intellectuals views on such things.

Hmm… I presume the point of this discussion is that there’d be one home and one away match for each animal, and on that point the penguin pretty much gets one win, guaranteed. Pigs can’t swim, especially in such icy water as is found in the vicinity of Antarctica. I’m not sure how penguins respond to warmer climes, but a pig which inhabited somewhere quite hot would certainly have the edge in its farmyard.
However, if you could train either animal in use of some kind of firearms, the balance of power may shift. I would say it was in this, or the use of climate-controlled insulating suits, that the true path to victory lies.

I guess you haven’t heard of the boyscout who created a mini nuclear reactor in the garden shed. Some article I googled about the story.
P.S. The sky on a clear day could be pink and yellow and red in the morning, and pink and indigo in the evening. Your anti-spambot question needs to be more specific, e.g. “What colour is the sky on a clear day above the Greenwich Observatory at 12:00:00 exactly GMT not during the BST period, not accounting for pollutant particle levels.”

All right, all right.
I would say that context precludes such ambiguity, but that would be to relinquish my position as a pedant. Though, from this position, I’m not really sure there is a question which could only have one physically possible answer…

(re: your formatting - you don’t need to publish this)
GMT and BST need to be aed because currently it isn’t. I don’t know if that is a fault on my side or on your server side……?
