    7, or 8 if 0 is a digit. Don’t think it is. On further thought it’s is, so 8.
  5. Well it makes sense, the nose runs.
  6. The red robot man is worn out and having a rest, but he keeps thinking of the red robot woman.

  9. During the Federation drought (1895-1903) the situation became so dire that the Maryborough Council (Victoria) considered sourcing town water from the mine pumps. Dr. Howell, the Government Chemist, noted that while the water didn’t fully meet hygienic standards, it could be used for domestic purposes in extreme circumstances. However, he advised against using it in steam boilers for locomotives.

    Two elephants, then red then green. The first two can be either way, they have no rule about their order. It says the largest elephant ( the green one) is always at the back. If it had said the larger elephant is always at the back then I would answer differently.
  13. Climate change cannot be 'brought under control'. We need to start worrying about the real threats from the growing dictatorships. Climate has always changed and always will. By all means do what you can if you are worried about climate, but nothing you do now will change the climate that our descendants live in for the next couple of hundred years. But we can choose whether they live under a Putin or an Ayatollah.
  14. Armageddon will follow from our economic weakness. There would be nothing wrong with phasing out coal if that were to happen, as long as it didn’t weaken Australia wrt our enemies. So it would require a global agreement that will never happen, and could only be applied by force of arms. Likewise for gas, which we have plenty of but refuse to use. And yes, I have ten grandchildren and fear for their future in a world that is moving toward another world war.

  16. The point is that all the self-flagellation is achieving nothing, nor will it. We (the west) are gradually destroying our economic wellbeing toseek some moral high ground that the rest of the world does not care about. The dictatorships of North Korea, Iran and Russia will continue to gain ground against us while also dominating and subjugating Africa and much of Asia and eventually South America.

  20. There is much more gas in Australia to be found, once governments encourage the exploration.

  22. A ribbon on the bonnet and a bag of lollies is probably worth $1000 in trade in value, the way our minds work.
  23. Not reading Murdoch leaves you half informed.
  24. It would have been easier to make a very small model of the white car.
