It's Too Bloody Hot!

[Gumby]

So I'm spending the day inside, in front of the TV and computer with the air conditioner blasting away.
From all reports it's 40+ all over Victoria today.

What shall we do then ?

Chess ? Checkers ? Ping pong ? A good healthy debate to while away the hours ?

One question though. Who was the idiot who changed the Aus Open tennis to this time of the year. It used to be around November didn't it ? That just doesn't make any sense. I feel sorry for them out there today, not to mention the fact that it's dangerous! Somebody will end up in hospital.

Oh well, I'll sit here and keep an eye on the adjacent national park. It's just the sort of day some clown will set it alight.:mad:

Somebody post something worth hijacking please.
Otherwise I might have to spend some time talking to the wife Although she's out in the spa at the moment. I'd go and join her but it's only an 8 seater so there's no room for anybody else. :eek:

I don't like this heat.

You Mexicans are worse than the poms when it comes to whingeing; you could always move to Darwin, where if never gets above about 37°, or to more equable climes in SE Queensland. But no, you must have your culture. When I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun. Wait, I don't own a gun

Good idea ! I'll make some for breaky. If you're lucky, I'll take a pic so you can have some.

Bloody girl Gumby, get out to the shed.

[ozwinner]

Maybe all you girls would like to come and spend some time at the shop today.

We left there at 3 yesterday it was just too hot.
And the joint always fills up with blowies when it gets hot too.....:eek:

Rocker has it right.

If you can't stand the heat, leave Hell!!

Move to Heaven.

P (23° and admittedly with a few light showers, but clearing later - gosh I love summer here ... it's just like winter. )

I'm officially hi-jacking Gumbys' thread as I walk past the computer going out the door with another load of gear for Casino, will check back later to see if it works.
So here it is "Peter & othetr luminaries here" which ceiling height is better for cooling a house in this general area relative to the equator & why?
This is a serious question that I am currently pondering .

Bruce,
Not sure of the theory:confused: but surely the higher the better, gives the hot air somewhere to rise, while keeping your head out of the heat.

Only going to be 36degrees C in Hobart today.

The reverse is true for winter.

Rocker,
They were Poms. We sent John Batman away in 1835 from Tasmania or Van Dieman's Land as it was known then to find a place to resettle the worst of the wingers. He founded Melbourne and encouraged the wingers & convicts to follow him.

HOT? HOT?.......We had jumpers on last night while having a barbie!

What to talk about.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Should I buy a Triton Workcentre or a TSC10?

Is your Triton router top heavy like mine!

How do I sharpen my chisels?

Better get the heater on, starting to get cold

Move to Heaven.

But Heaven is Hotter than Hell.

It is possible to make an accurate computation of the temperature of Heaven using a physical law called Stephens Law - This follows from data available in the bible.

Isiah 30:28 reads "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days." Thus heaven receives from the moon as much radiation as we do from the sun and in addition seven times seven (ie: 49 times) as much as earth does from the sun. This gives 50 times in all. This radiation falling on heaven heats it to the point where the heat loss by re-radiation just equals the heat received by radiation Taking the absolute temperature of earth as 300K, we obtain a temperature of 798K, or about 525 Celcius.

It is tempting to compare this unexpectedly warm temperature with that of Hell. Although we cannot be exact about the temperature of hell, we can conclude an upper limit. Revelations 21:8 reads : " But the fearful and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." The boiling point of brimstone (sulphur) is 444.6 degrees C, which means that the temperature of such an eternal lake must be less than 444.6 degrees C (otherwise if would evaporate). Therefore, as 444.6 is much less than 525.0, we are forced to conclude, by Physical and Biblical data, that Heaven is Hotter than Hell
