In message %VAOe.12345$g47.9087@trnddc07, Travis
writes Jaques d'Alltrades wrote: The message DGxOe.10628$g47.7290@trnddc07 from "Travis" contains these words: Even though I Googled for it I can't find how a paraffin refrigerator works. Anyone? 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. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
