Australia is getting snow.  It's a Huffpo link.


From a less fear mongering source:

Quote
Weather experts said it was not unusual for Australia to experience chilly weather in eastern states in early December, as cold winds from deep in the Southern Oceans sweep upwards.

“It’s not uncommon to get a dusting of snow along the higher peaks of New South Wales and Victoria every couple of years (at this time),” remarked Bureau of Meteorology climatologist Grant Beard.

Mr Gearon agreed, saying that in previous years, those on the Victorian snowfields had been “having cocktails in the sun one day and skiing the next”.

Quick, someone check with Know-It-All nadin! This could be a tipping point!

Or anthropogenic global climate change, or something!!!

 :rotf:

Of course WE all know what the true tipping point is - that's when you're done eating and about ready to pay the reck'ning.

1. December 21st is just as long as any other day.
2. It is the start of winter, which means it has the shortest amount of daylight of the year.
3. Unless you're in Australia, in which case, it wouldn't be cold at all.
4. (The next 4 spaces intentionally left blank to allow for all the DUmmies to finish blaming Bush and global warming for #3.)
8. Typically, the coldest time of the year is sometime in January
9. There's also a full moon, so these DUmmies will be especially moonbatty tonight.
 


Darn Happy ain't we lucky we are not living 800 years ago.  last time this happend.  winter solstice and a eclipse of the moon.

All over the world the people would be marching men and woman to their centers of religion to sacrifice them to whatever god they had to bring back the moon and to bring on the winter.

This I believe is one of the reasons Christians moved Christmass into the time frame of the winter Solstice  

Also notice Easter is also changed each year to coinside with the spring solstice.

Ever wonder why, Perhaps Mrs Smith can explain to you why Easter is moved from year to year.

Btw mrs. smith is our experct on Christinanty, she has all her ducks in a row.   Very well versed lady and not a died in the wool tunnel vision person.

Happy, if you are not religious then it wont hurt to check into why those who are have beliefes at what time of the year.

I realize this probably comes as complete news to you, but by 800 years ago even the Vikings had become Christians, Charlemagne and Alfred the Great were already mythic figures, the European discovery of gunpowder was not all that far off, and things were a lot more peaceful than they were going to be for a damned long time into the future.

Well, vesta does have a point in that the Aztecs were knee deep in sacrificial blood centuries AFTER Europeans quit with that practice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec

Granted, Europeans were still a barbaric people who routinely treated executions as a public holiday, rejoiced in the burning of witches and so on, but still, it's quite impossible to top the "peaceloving native peoples" of the Americas for sheer brutality.  Sort of, no, exactly like, how any damage we inflict on the "peaceful natives" of Afghanistan is a drop in the bucket compared to the inherent savagary of their so-called culture.  Any society that treats women and children the way the Afghans do is not worthy of the name civilized, and so it was with the Aztecs and their penchant for human sacrifice.

My husband's birthday is tomorrow.  I can't juggle two things at once.  Birthday trumps "Homeless Persons" day.
If you made your husband homeless for a day it would show you really care.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

Um, correct me if I am wrong, but, aren't memorials usually held for those who contributed something of worth to society?

All that and more is just under the skin of every person and society today, kept at bay only by prosperity and mass communication.  People haven't changed fundamentally.  Those witch-burners considered themselves especially devout Christians, and ones who went to pains to afford the accused legal due process (Absurd as their concept of it seems to us today) in convicting them.

I couldn't agree with you more, and a HI5.
Of course, having seven cats (attrition has whittled them down from ten) AND possessing numerous moles and freckles, I'd be the guest of honor at a bonfire.
All you have to do to observe the inherent savagery left within (wo)mankind is attend a cutrate sale at Bloomingdales or Macys.

$3 might get her a cup from Starbucks. However, I wouldn't know. I STILL remember the story about Starbucks not giving victims of 9/11 any water without money being shelled out for it. Even in that special circumstance.  :argh:

To this day...9 years later, I won't go near the place.

Starbux sux.  Their coffee tastes bitter and they charge through the nose for it.  I did not know about not giving 9/11 victims a cup of water, but I have heard about the Red Cross charging GI's for coffee and donuts during WWII.

I donate to small no kill animal shelters and the Salvation Army and I never buy a cup of cofee unless I'm travelling, at which time it's from Mickey D's.  They do have the best, IMO, and I know better than to position the cup between my thighs. :whatever:

I hate to give you a snopes link, but it's all I can find. I know damn well I heard this info back on Fox NEws way back when, but for the life of me...

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/starbucks.asp

Oh, and here's some good news too. Starbucks doesn't like the troops overseas either. Which I didn't know, but validates my loathing of Starbucks even more if it is indeed true.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
