A little green plasticine man sitting at home one very hot Sunday got so bored with whinging that he decided to go and talk to his wife. Sitting on the side of the spa while his wife bathed the little green man said to her, "Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on machines and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just switch me off and pull the plug."

His wife got up out of the spa, turned off the airconditioning, unplugged his computer and threw out all of his beer...


Mwahahahahaha

I refreshed the weatherzone screen after 1/2 hour - 2 degree rise in temp - I'm not going to click the mouse on that again!

A number of years ago I had the pleasure of sitting in the middle of a desert with broken transport. The outside air temperature gauge went off the clock at 50deg C at 1:30pm. We estimate it got to 54+ deg C. We sat in that from 10am to 6pm. Now 40-44deg just seems "uncomfortable" .

My aircon has just decided it's too hot, got woken up by the CFA last night when we had a biggish grassfire nearby, house full of smoke.
CFA did a good job, woke us up and told us what was happening.
MOre smoke today from the big fire at Erica, thats about 80-100 kms away but we still have a fog.
Supposed to go showjumping but the horses jacked up, if I wanted this I would have gone to Qld, no, wait, the humidity is missing......

23° under tin roof on the verandah here

I've been out putting the power cable & conduit up under the wall of the shed, just stopped for a cup of coffee

[Tikki]

42 degrees here, 1200 homes in Adelaide without power (some for more than 24 hours now) and many more in the Victor Harbor/Goolwa area, plus four major fires burning around the State .... bring on winter!

Cheers

Hijacked a useless thread yesterday to comment on the weather, and today's just the same. Outrageous.

Lovely sitting in office with aircon on. 22c

Just finished replacing the diodes in a switch-mode battery charger. Must inform kids - Swimming pool water is not to be dripped into battery chargers.
Dissolves copper and shorts power.:mad:

Too hot to go to shed. Will wait till pm.

Agreed!!!

The Eyre Peninsula fire was the only black spot on an otherwise great summer in South Oz last year. Why cant we have another summer like that!

Whenever we get a long stretch of weather like this, SWMBO and I discuss packing up and getting new jobs in Hobart. We may just do it next year. The main reason we have stayed is staying close to friends and family for our young son. We are seriously reconsidering it, though. Neither of us are hot weather people, and we end up with "cabin fever" if we get two or more weekends of staying inside and running up our power bill. Our young boy gets very bored with staying inside, too.

Anyone recommend a good place to live in the capital of the apple isle???

Anyone recommend a good place to live in the capital of the apple isle???

Anywhere and everywhere is good.
You can live 30 minutes from Hobart and get really good cheap housing, and still be within driving distance.

The Tassie lot dont like to drive more than 5 kms from home.

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......................................I don't like this heat.

At the moment the temperature in my workshop is 26 % . Trouble is I had too good a lunch to go there now.

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

Heres another one along a similar vein:


A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate students. It had one question:

"Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Support your answer with a proof."
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my Freshman year, 'That it will be a cold night in Hell before I sleep with you', and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then 2 cannot be true, and so Hell is exothermic." This student got the only A.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa what a bunch of babies!!!!

I just knocked over 6 hours of landscaping - no worries. Translated as - I was whingeing like a baby for 5 hours and then at 3pm when the temperature went up about 5 degrees and hit about 41 I threw in the towel, walked up to the bottle-o got a six-pack and waited an hour for swmbo to pick me up. It was friggin hot!!!!!

Aw Peter, Shut Up

My shed reached 44C yesterday and today it was 44 on one side and 46 the other. Tried jointing some RG, but nearly drowned in sweat. Gave up and went inside to a nice 23C.

Blerry annoying though, as I had wanted to do a whole bunch of things...

G'day,

Hey that was a gteat useless poll.
