Drat, and there's me thinking I was being witty 
Oh, why is it so cold? 
Strictly Taboo
TeaKay Posted Dec 21, 2004
Well, I could go into a long discussion involving the tilt of the Earth, and the consequent distribution of light from the sun on it's surface... but I won't. Because I'm cold, and tired, and bored.

Whose stupid idea was it to tilt the earth anyway
Strictly Taboo
TeaKay Posted Dec 22, 2004
I don't think it was anyones idea, as such. More of a random cataclysmic event. But the two are easily confused.

In that case, what idiot cased the random cataclysmic event?
Strictly Taboo
TeaKay Posted Dec 22, 2004
Probably my brother. Always leaving his cataclysmic events lying around, he is.

I don't know, kids these days just aren't careful when they're playing about with the space/time continuum. One day they'll end up wiping a species out and *then* they'll be sorry...

ADmitedly...
But still, if they nadvertantly wiped out cows I'm sure they'd miss beef.
Although, saying this, they'd probably eat foxes instead. Or doormice. Or woodlice.

I don't think woodlice would have the same appeal...

Oh, I don't know... Roasted on a stick over an open fire....?
Strictly Taboo
TeaKay Posted Dec 24, 2004
It'd have to be a small stick, or a bloody big woodlouse.

Strictly Taboo
TeaKay Posted Dec 24, 2004
Even that would still be too big for the smaller lice.

You can get toothpick- sized splinters. That really is far too ambiguous.

So the size of the woodlouse is ambgiuous. And the size of the splinter is ambiguous.
Okay.
Let me try again...
[this is the edited and approved for broadcast version of the statement made several postings ago]
You could roast a medium sized woodlouse, say around 3cm long, by utilisation of a smallish toothpick with a fine point, of approximately 5cm length and 4mm diameter, over an open fire.

3cm long woodlouse? Remind me never to visit your end of the country... your insects are a good few times the size of ours!

I may have been thinking about millipedes... or centipedes...
Woodlice are pill-bugs, right?
So I guess it'll be 1cm tops... 
/This/ is why I didn't do biology
