OF COURSE 'LARGER THAN MOST CANADIAN CITIES' COULD ALSO BE USED TO DESCRIBE A TOYOTA CAMRY

Chunk of ice larger than most Canadian cities stuck spinning in ocean vortex

I said shaken, not stirred.

Amazingly, there was once a time when we didn't know about such things, and all we had to worry about was war, famine and pestilence.

Moore said the best way to understand a Taylor column is to picture a hockey puck in an aquarium full of water.

"If you drag that hockey puck along the bottom of the tank, then what's going to happen is the water is going to be forced to go around the puck right at the bottom, but above the hockey puck, the water is going to be undisturbed," Moore said in an interview Tuesday. "But the earth is rotating, and so if you take that same aquarium and you put it on a big turntable and spin it, and you do the same thing, it turns out that even above the hockey puck, the water is forced to go around it."

What would we do without boffins and scientists?

So an entire city full of hockey pucks?

And it's making us nauseous.

Whatever happened to the normal comparisons of size to Olympic swimming pools, football fields, and Rhode Island?

[NEOs]

I'm sorry but we just can't relate to that.

? for Mr MOTOW - are you referring to a Taylor Swift column? And isn't what you put on a turntable to spin also spinning along with the earth, is the rotation counter or syncronized with the turntable? And what's a turntable? How about if you spin a lazy susan at a Chinese restaurant? That's sum dim question. Or a sum dum question?

Always in the last place you look but still better than finding it in the polar vortex.
