482967 2006-09-07 22:31:00 By using the formula F = GMm / r^2, I found out the gravitational acceleration in Australia to be 9.86 N/kg (c.f. 9.81 N/kg on average)


Ain't that just typical of the Ozzies.

They always have to go that one step better - just like the Yanks :p :p

482969 2006-09-08 04:57:00 Here in PN we use a local gravity of 9.801-9.802 to calibrate our forcemeters. I don't remember where the figure was obtained from or how much it varied in NZ. user (1404)

482972 2006-09-09 02:17:00 Wrong George. :(

Jaffa (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffas_(candy)) is a registered tradename.
As you can see there's even an article in Wikipedia. But they got one thing wrong. The best sound comes on the stepped "sloping" floor in a picture theatre. ("Cinemas" probably have carpet on the stepped floor to deaden the sound; real picture theatres didn't. :D )

Of course, if Auckanders are typically soft centred, with a bright orange spherical casing that's up to them. Perhaps some of them are self-centred and turn orange only when enraged at the rest of New Zealand not wanting to pay for its thugby stadium. I don't know. ;)

Ah, I see... But how does that relate to what Metla had once said to us about Ninja:

"Where tf is Ninja? Has he been kidnapped by the Jaffas?"

Cheers :)

Its "J.A.F.A"

Look it up in Wikipedia (without the full stops), its a banned word on the forum apparently
