| 625165 | 2007-12-28 01:53:00 | Not a theory . . . a FACT! Life as we now know it will forever be changed . . . keep watch! While the solstice is famous as the shortest day of the year -- and the official start of the winter season -- the less-known perihelion marks the point in Earth's orbit at which it is closest to the sun . This year, perihelion occurs on January 3 at 00:00 Universal Time . No wonder Upsidedown Land has hotter hot seasons than the Rightsideup Hemisphere . Youse guys are gonna burn . :eek: |

| 625169 | 2007-12-28 02:34:00 | Fortunately we are on Daylight Saving Time, so we can save the excess and use it in winter. It will be a bit tough on the firewood merchants next winter, but them's the breaks. |

We can't see the point in making a fuss about temperature swings when they only have to swing back in 6 months. It helps our trout get bigger too. (The burning bit is rumoured to come from your spray-on stuff. I am sure lawyers are labouring over this resource even as we read. Works wonders for sun-screen sales too.) |
