368907	2005-07-04 08:56:00	lol andrew93. And another problem with the northern hemisphere, apart from the sun shining from the wrong angle, is that the moon is upside down! Don't you recall as a kid the stories about the "the man in the moon"? These were all british books and always puzzled me, I could never see it. When I was in the Nth Hem I could, but to me here it always looks like a rabbit and frog sitting down at a table having a cup of tea. Geez, so many complications.................m :D	mark c (247)

I don't think this affects the taste in any way though, since both right handed and left handed beans taste exactly the same to me! Edit: thinking about it, on the Equator, would beans would just grow straight up??? How do vines cling in equatorial jungles?	Terry Porritt (14)
