    Morning. Cool dawn under a luminous pale grey sky streaked orange and pink by a new day. Is there anything more boring than weeks of 100 degree heat ?

    Weeks of boring white snow and below zero temperatures maybe. Just ask Skiriki.

    Don't get me wrong, I like snow, but I couldn't take weeks of it, I do like to see a bit of colour sometimes.

    Can't imagine what that is like, except maybe a little easier to sleep. Heat makes brain a little gooey :)

    Finally got my Chevy S10 out of the shop after 2 weeks.
    Complaint:
    New starter and head gasket later, I'm down about $1200. :-/

    Oooouuch!

    I feel your pain, but glad you got your car back.

    Last year I spent $5K on an engine rebuild (replaced block and head). A large chunk of a valve broke off and became shrapnel inside the piston chamber and valve head. Something that is unheard of in my make of car. Thought about just getting another car but the one I have I bought as a bit of a restoration project anyhow, and I know it inside and out. If I had bought another used car I'm afraid I would have been buying a whole new set of problems that I knew nothing about. With the engine rebuild, though, I almost have a new car again.

    Crikey shrapnel inside an engine sounds pretty catastrophic :)

    I thought wolverines and arctic foxes provided plenty of colouration?

    24 different words for "white"... and umpteen for "snow"? ... or is that the Icelanders?

    I suppose you could nom the snow afterwards, after colouring it (`.`)>... *speaking as somebody who is about to go out shopping in 37degC ~_~...*

    It's the Inuits, except that they really don't.
    Just false popular belief.

    Before the forum went down for me this had me suddenly thinking of the movie "Smilla's Sense of Snow".

    "Smilla Qaavigaaq Jaspersen is a 37 years old woman of Eskimo origin, who is living in Copenhagen. She is unmarried, unadapted, childless and irascible. One day her friend - 6 years old Esajas - falls down from the roof and is killed in what seems an accident. But Smilla believes he has been killed. Highly ranked people try to 'convince' her not to interfere, but she does not listen to them and tries to solve the crime. Her sense of snow leads her into a mystery with roots far back in time..."

    Not a bad movie in my opinion.

    Exactly! I do not mind the whiteness, I mind the lack of sunlight! (Which, by the way, is dazzling in February, if these current Februaries would deign to adhere to proper standards.)

    Then you take food colouring and paint the snow ;)

    Would anyone care to see a Daz3D parody of the Dire Strait's thing? It might hit a stop over copyrights anyway but I think it would be fun to do.

    EDIT: Beer and chip's over here please.

    Considering how Weird Al has done a parody cover of "Money for Nothing"... I think parody is protected in your neck of woods. ;)

    That would be interesting - from a technological point of view as well as the humour ("look at what we can do now on our desktops, in a finite length of time..." ^_^).

    Or do you want to animate models of the two original guys as well? ;-)
