Attempting to fill in a black hole tends to be a time-consuming

The PP was invented and developed at CERN, for that very purpose.
And that's why Swiss physicists tend to be rosy-cheeked and rather
plump.

Good thing that those Sheddi are not naturists, I guess.

Wouldn't it be a trilarity? Or just a hilarity...

Sorry - I have been plagued with red bridal satin today.

Actually, I use the terms 'paraffin' and 'kerosene' as synonyms.
Both are abbreviations (for p. oil and k. oil) and the use of
paraffin in that sense predates the use of kerosene (by only a
few years, true).

I've got a Taylor Paraffin boat stove. The embossed brass plate on it
claims it is a "parrafin" stove. The original manufacturer denied it
was a typo.

Now, THAT'S unfair! I must stand up for the sheddies here.

Here ? Amongst us, now ?
shed
Can the minister explain how this was allowed to happen,
where were our border patrols?
Inside some huts drinking tea perhaps ? Consuming wild mushrooms
gathered from their gardens and compost heaps ?

What does the minister propose to do to rectify this situation.
I propose that he should immediately begin a program of super-shed
building to contain these miscreants.

The Miscreants are in uk.misc, over there --
unless somebody crossposts this thread over there as well.

Not all of us, be afraid.
But not very.

Perish the thought !
A naked singularity in a shed !!

Might involve a renormalization ?
An infinitely preferable situation.

I can't get my brane round a naked singularity.

Even though I Googled for it I can't find how a paraffin

Same as a gas one.

Since paraffin is a soild (isn't it) and gas is a gas I don't get
it.

'Paraffin' is a group of hydrocabons which includes solids through
to gases. The paraffin referred to is somewhere in the middle of
the group and is called kerosene in Transpondia.

Transpondia? When I Google that word I find something about bringing a
visitor or fiance to the UK.

This is getting really weird.

British understatement refers to the Atlantic Ocean (occasionally) as
The Pond, and hence to North America (more often) as Transpondia or
Leftpondia.

Apart from recently being declared a diabetic I'm OK. Or, as the
