Lusty and I were watching the tee-vee last night,
and saw a trailer for some 'Ask Attenborough' thing where you can ask David Attenborough questions. This sparked a 'what indeed would you ask him?' debate.

The best I could come up with was 'what was it like making Jurassic Park?'

Can you best this LOLarious witticism? I should fucking hope so.

It's easier to make something small, you just keep them in a cardboard box for a few generations.
Making them big though is harder, involves lots of stretching and all that.

Plus the weather, I'd imagine, makes people grumpy if they're indoors.
I got a good trick, if you wet a tea-towel and ring it out and then lay on that (or even get two and put one above your forehead, you lose/gain about 80% of your body heat through your head), it makes you nice and cool without getting your bedding wet.

It really isn't at all.
A computer has far more combinations of buttons and things to do than any other device, by a factor of millions. A car has two configerations generally (automatic/manual), in each one of these, it's the sameish no matter what the make/model. Clutch/Accelerator/Break/Wheel/Indicators is always the same.

A windows computer differs, to someone who doesn't know them, so much more. A Windows PC from Toshiba or IBM has different software installed, with different icons, and different things. OK, sure, there are similarties, such as 'file/edit/view' is always the same, except even that these days is hidden by default.

That's why I would recomend Apple for someone not used to computers, except for budget.
