    Well, the water could be frozen, so it would actually stick to the side, even though the bottle merely contained half of what it could.

    Or one could call it "troubled waters" ...

    :p Hey Dbagger.......... Your right...

    The water fell on the concrete in it's crystaline form..............SNOW !


    The concrete was definitely dry when I shoveled it. And I've shoveled a boat load of the $^%t in the past week.

    4 inches one day last week...13.5 inches a couple nights ago and then another 4 inches last night.

    He! He! Vic I got me a six year old boy would buy that snow off you now! Trouble is despite the fact we've had a bit in England (nothing like you lot, all the fault of the Gulf Stream apparantly) we've had non here and he's not a happy boy - guess snow means something different when your six! Probably did when I was six but as that was a few years ago I can't remember! the other thing is when we gets snow in this country it definately is WET (turns to slush overnight too!) so your at an unfair advantage there - so so is 'Danish' they get the dry stuff too!

    What works out in theory is sometimes not practical.

    Bottles in Australia contain beer not water.
    and
    It's either full or empty, we don't leave them 1/2 full nor 1/2 empty.

    All that snow is caused by global warming, another bit of theory that sux.:?:

    Hey nice picture RT... now that's some real snow.

    I can't speak for the rest of the country but, here in my shop I try not to leave my St. Pauli Girl unatended at any time, not that anybody around here would ever venture to try a real beer (anything besides Bud lite or Miller Lite). Just the same, I like my bottles empty (The only thing about "Displacement" that I am experienced in.:D :D :D

    Another simple Question...

    I have lost something. It doesn't matter what it is or what it is made of.

    I have lost it.

    Where will I find it :?:

    (There is a definite place where this will happen {me finding it}).

    So, where ?

    Riddles are abound tonight,
    Since the wizard's taken flight.
    By the shroud of mystery,
    Go to be serenity.

    Open hearts are numb to pain
    While open minds fill up of strain
    If they cut this pie in two,
    I'd still give both halves to you.

    Huh Aww Yeah!

    Take the man that fills the throne,
    Contemplate his time alone.
    Add a dash of little boys,
    And watch the buzzards tear away.

    Anyway Vic,
    You will find it where it is (it can't necessarily be found where you lost it, if someone picked it up, unless (of course) it's your marbles.

    Or summat ...

    Poida, spekaing of global warming: Living in Denmark, we usually get rather a lot of snow, but this season we have had what amounts to absolutely nothing (I think we have had snow for two days, and almost nothing fell. Hell I think we have had frost four days (well, nights, actually). My fur hat/cap ("headwear"?) has had very little use, and I do like my snow.

    No, I'm not six.

    Gees, I hate global warming! But patience, when the atlantic pump stops because of all the heat, we will have glaciers, so ...

    I assume this must be like algebra where a usless question results in an equally usless answer--like a+b+c=abc

    Therfore the place where you will find it is the place where you lost it
    No?
