We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Okay, science folks, I've a question for you. Is the Southern Hemisphere warmer than the northern? someone claims it is true but I'm skeptical. and if it is, why?

Dunno.

Summer in the Southern Hemisphere is both shorter and brighter, as the earth is closer to the sun then. Dunno if that translates into it actually being warmer.

So is this, like, comparing the average temp of a bunch of points in the Northern Hemisphere to the average of a bunch of points of the Southern Hemisphere? If so, it depends on what points you pick. Maybe it's based on infrared emisions picked up by satellite?

If the Southern Hemisphere is warmer than the Northern, it would probably be due to average weather conditions in the two hemispheres.

Anyway, what it comes down to is that I don't know.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Are we talking land temperature? Certainly more of the Southern Hemisphere's land area is closer to the equator than is the case in the Northern Hemisphere, so I'd think that the average land temperature might be different.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's more water in the southern hemisphere than the northern. That might have something to do with it? Maybe it's the El Niño effect?

I'd be skeptical too. Maybe they are just arguing temps for location of landmasses. I mean, the Asian continent is HUUUGE and northerly.

erika, you talking about berger's cookies? Cakelike and covered in a huge plop of chocolate cake frosting on them?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is that black and white cookie what Bostonians might call a Half Moon?

Yes, I believe so, but I'm sure people would say they are different. I don't really eat either, so I dunno for sure.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, think so, sarameg. Am I close? I liked them muchly but I'm a sweets fiend. Oh, and Lisah, one of the other people who might be able to picture my tag.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I doubt the Southern Hemisphere is Warmer hypothesis, but I have no data to back up my position.
