Well, that answers my climate question. So if an aussie chile-head spins a Twister dial, it creates weather patterns that become Taiwanese typhoons ... I understand now. But if the inversion phenomenon you cited carries through to all cases, a Peter Pepper in the southern hemisphere changes from what's in front to what's out back, and if you present one saying "There's some fair dinkum tucker, mate" it could lead to unfortunate misunderstandings. Maybe that's why AU tourist visas only last one year. - A ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
