Aloha Dame Margaret,

Yep, I can believe that the amount of material ejected by Krakatoa could give spectacular visual phenomenon such as a green sunset and a blue moon. The gases from the volcanic vent on the Big Island of Hawaii almost always color our sunsets.

Cheerio,

Wow CD, it must be quite a sight.


If all the gold sitting in the oceans and seas were mined, every person on this planet would get about 20 kilograms of gold each.

Aloha Dame Margaret,

That would be quite a sum of money for each person - WOW! 322800 GBP per person - probably enough for a tiny flat in Belgravia, London.

Cheerio,

Aloha Dame Margaret,

Methinks the 20 kilos of gold for each person is probably what can be distilled out of seawater.

Cheerio,

Well they have no-one to blame but themselves. Why torch a police station, that was totally unnecessary. Hopefully that sent a clear message to others that behaviour like that will not be tolerated.


Behram, an Indian thug, holds the record for most murders by a single individual. He strangled 931 people between 1790-1840 with a piece of yellow and white cloth, called a ruhmal. The most murders by a woman are 612, by Countess Erzsebet Bathory of Hungary.

not long before the Beijing olympic "games" started, there was this story about a young woman who'd been raped and killed, if i remember well. the agressor was the son or the nephew of a VERY important man, so he was free, not even worried of course. when the dead woman's father protested, he was eliminated. later on, some people gathered around a police station and hellfire was on. officers got killed photos of big devastating fire were spred in the news worldwide. i hardly know anything about the truth of this story, though i have my vision of it, of course. but i wasn't there.

that's the problem with events we're not able to see or participate in live, we simply don't know. sometimes images speak forthemselves as tv show people say, but i try not to judge people too fast.
