WEATHER PREDICTION
WEATHER PREDICTION
It was April and the Aboriginals in a remote part of Western Australia
asked their new elder if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was an elder in a modern community he had never been taught the
old secrets.When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the winter was
going to be like. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe
that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the
tribe should collect firewood to be prepared. But being a practical
leader, after several days he had an idea.
He walked out to the telephone booth on the highway, called the Bureau of
Meteorology and asked, "Is the coming winter in this area going to be
cold?"The meteorologist responded, "It looks like this winter is going to
be quite cold."
So the elder went back to his people and told them to collect even more
wood in order to be prepared.
A week later he called the Bureau of Meteorology again, "Does it still look
like it is going to be a very cold winter?"
The meteorologist again replied, "Yes, it's going to be a very cold
winter."
The elder again went back to his community and ordered them to collect
every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later the elder called the Bureau again. "Are you absolutely sure
that the winter is going to be very cold?"he asked."
Absolutely," the man replied. "It's looking more and more like it is going
to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the elder asked.
The weatherman replied, "There are reports that the Aboriginals are
collecting firewood like crazy, and that's always a sure sign."

Well told, RR. Another infallible weather sign. You know it is going to rain when the emus start building their nests on the railway line.

A fake Falwell on the real Billy Graham
Here's an amusing clip from the Imus In The Morning show on MSNBC one day last December, where a fake Jerry Falwell comments on a real controversy involving the family of Billy Graham. I tend to agree with him that Franklin Graham has lost whatever fragment of a mind he might have once had. Does anyone know if this silly issue was ever resolved?
And speaking of Billy Graham - and in reference to the heated arguments in the 'Falwell Dead' thread - if you want to hear a liberal like me find words of praise after the death of a supposed "man of God" then just wait until this gentleman passes. I promise you, I'll have much more good than bad to say about Billy Graham.

W.W.E.D.?

Foul-mouthed Brit buys the wrong air conditioner
Poor guy! This is hilarious because the guy doesn't know what a so-called portable air conditioner is supposed to be used for. He perceives all its unique features to be design flaws.
If you don't know, a portable AC is a free-standing unit that is usually wheeled to a position near a window where an exhaust hose is mounted. Because all of the intake air comes from within the room while the heated air is expelled, these machines lower the air pressure in the room and suck air in from around the door. So long as that door opens to a cooled area everything works fine. Portable ACs are useful in, for instance, an interior hotel room where the standard AC is out of order, or a room where the use of heat-generating equipment is over-taxing a building's central AC.
But that's not this guy's situation. He hits on a relatively simple solution to the air pressure problem, but in tinkering with the unit he finds other "flaws" that he thinks he can fix. It really is funny, check it out.

W.W.E.D.?

Re: Foul-mouthed Brit buys the wrong air conditioner
He makes a good point - getting aircon here is very hard work. When you end up with a unit that can't actually cool a room without freezing up, clogging up with dust and dripping water over a capacitor...you gotta get a bit peed off.

Re: Foul-mouthed Brit buys the wrong air conditioner
Well, I can sympathize with him over the difficulty of obtaining a unit, especially if they're as expensive as he says they are over there. But unless I'm very much mistaken, the freezing up is a result of his moving the thermostat off the cooling coil. That type of thermostat belongs on the coil, not on the wall next to it. I can't give you a detailed description of how this type of thermostat compares to a wall thermostat, of the type you would use for a central unit for instance, but the difference is probably similar to the difference in a wet-bulb thermometer and a dry-bulb thermometer.
And the water dripping on the capacitor is likely the result of leaning the unit the wrong way. Unfortumately, this type of unit sits entirely indoors, so there's no practical way to drain the condensate. Therefore, there's no way around the chore of emptying the drain pan regularly.
The guy should have got a window unit, or else he should have stopped fiddling with this one after he found his solution to the air pressure problem.
I thought it was all rather funny because as I read it I kept wanting to shout at him "NO! NO! NO!"

W.W.E.D.?

When I saw this, I got excited, because I own a Plumbing, Heating, and A/C company.
I expected to see a serious chain on mistakes by this guy, but to tell you the truth, the guy is 100% correct in all his assesments.
The funny thing is the way he descibes it.
I often curse out engineers when working on stuff, I got a real kick out of it.
