Old Weather Forum

Nice find Stuart I wonder if he went to the same weather recording school as the staff on the Patterson?

Interesting article - at least the handwriting isn't too bad!

Octopuses and squid are full of cephalopod character. But more scientists are making
the case that cuttlefish hold the key to unlocking evolutionary secrets about intelligence.

I think you have a point there Randi And with so many arms their typing rate must be phenomenal

Hurrah for hungry goats

Good thing to keep in mind....
Your garden hose could contain a serious hazard in the summer

Nice reminder Randi - ouch. Never thought about the boiling water that must be building up in a hose pipe


That map - Did they do it by 'pin the tail on the donkey'?

Caro's map is a Gall–Peters projection

I have no idea what the point of it is.
Lisbon is now the capital of Spain and Madrid, logically I suppose, is now the capital of Portugal.
London is north of somewhere called Bringmeham and Oxford has moved way south.
The UK and Denmark etc are separated by the Barents Sea. Denmark' s capital is Legoland.

That's a good article about crops and trees Randi - I like it

I initially just looked at the general shape rather than the details.

Wow! The more I look the stranger it gets!

Oh the map - yep - it is very odd. The places are all over the place. Not only countries, but towns too.

If you have a few minutes here's a TED talk by Danny Dorling (guess where he works?). Danny produces the most amazing maps: https://www.ted.com/talks/danny_dorling ... ere_we_are

You got me. Where is Australia on that map?

NE of Italy, SE of Germany, W of Hungary

If the map covered the whole world, Stuart, you might be living in Austria.

No wonder I like Vienna Coffee.

That is a very strange map.
