Good morning all, After all the crowing about summer arriving in the other hemisphere, you may feel even more smug when I tell you that Easter in Sydney is currently wet, dismal and grey. Quite a change from a long unbroken stretch of fine sunny days in the past few weeks.
Anyway, here's a question that may seem incongruous: has anyone seen the episode of The Simpsons where Homer is walking around with a rather large astrolabe? I know it sounds strange that someone with Homer's IQ is holding an astrolabe, but maybe he read Jim Morrison's great book! My memory is that Homer wins a Nobel Prize and part of the booty is the astrolabe. This URL mentions an astrolabe, but the episode description doesn't seem right. http://www.tv.com//tis-the-fifteenth-season/episode/280491/summary.html?q=&tag=search_results;more;1 But it does mention a "talking astrolabe". Now there's one that Jim Morrison missed! Cheers, John John Pickard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
