When Gordon arrives, you could go out on a surfboard and see if you can see any of those 10cm high waves I'm worried about superimposed on the bigger ones. I'm kidding of course, and sincerely hope you don't go out on a surfboard to test my ping-pong ball Nobel Prize-winning theory that 10cm waves slightly increase the probability of a surfer being tipped off their surfboard and pounded on the rocks. I actually think the best way to avoid losing your ping-pong balls or being tipped off your surfboard is to avoid surfing and conducting wave interference tests when Gordon arrives. Some people seriously, really, they do, buy cellphone radiation-blocking equipment while ignoring high-energy bolts from the firmament. They studiously hold the phone away from their head, point their head so the phone is closer to the basestation [to reduce the signal strength]. They do this while sunbathing on the beach to get a tan. Which is okay if you are a dark-brown or black coloured person because your ancestors have already died in their millions to ensure your skin is sun-resistant and permanently tanned. But being already melanin-rich you probably have something more useful to do than get a tan on a tan. White people in New Zealand get burned and then get melanoma, squamous cell and basal cell cancers, not to mention a range of other skin lesions. But they worry about cellphones causing tumours in their heads! Wacky! [Do not tell my wife I wrote that] Meanwhile, while they are getting burned, they are also exposed to all the high energy xray stuff which smashes them up inside! Incidentally, how come a good level of melanin is a ticket to government and job selection advantage in the USA? I heard that's what happens. The C-Block auctions included special advantage for melanin-rich people. I thought apartheid went out when South Africa gave it away. Weirdly, New Zealand is also setting up an apartheid system as we speak. No wonder the NZ$ is going down! What happened to equal before the law and all that stuff? Anyway, don't forget, I was kidding. DON'T go out on your surfboard when Gordon arrives. Mqurice
