 GJ> last thing I would have expected - wine!  Unbelieving, I put my finger
 GJ> into the red stream, then tasted it.  Yes, it was wine!  Not a great
 GJ> wine, in fact, a semi-sweet Lambrusco type, but drinkable.  To my
 GJ> surprise it was not oxidised.

 ML> Well, we can let divine intervention out, as if it were that,
 ML> the wine wouldn't be Lambrusco.

Shall we say, "Semi-divine"?   Dave the Sac posted some information
which referred to organised tasting of 5 wines at that fountain.
There were 4 outlets, but only 2 were flowing, and I didn't get past
the first one.

 ML> I could have the ginger done and the stir-fry cooked in 3 or 4
 ML> minutes. Amateurs!
 GJ> Including finding the ginger and knives, and applying bamd-aids to the
 GJ> grated fingers?

 ML> No grated fingers. You'll see.

Just chopped fingernails.  I grated a tablespoon of ginger yesterday
and timed myself.  It took 3 minutes, of which 2m 15s was peeling the
ginger.  The actual grating took but 45s.
 
 GJ> one of 200 volunteer subjects in SA and WA in a Phase II research
 GJ> project to evaluate the effectiveness of an Australian CSL Ltd
 GJ> developed vaccine against the H5N1 strain of Asian Bird Flu.

 ML> So are you to deliberately infect yourself afterward? How else
 ML> to test the efficacy of the vaccine?

Some of my blood is extracted 21 and 200 days after vaccination and
sent to laboratories in UK where it is checked for the presence of the
appropriate anti-bodies which are the indicators of efficacy.
 
 GJ> One of the requirements was that I had to say which overseas countries
 GJ> I had visited over the last 8 years, and when.  My A4 sized list
 ML> For me it would be around 45, but mostly duplicates.

I listed 35 visits over the period, to 20 different countries.  Most
were entered by plane, but some by car and others by train.

I just heard of a trumpeter who had an altercation with airport
security personnel when they refused to allow him to take his trumpet
on board, in the course of which his arm was broken.  Of course
trumpets are very dangerous weapons; look what happened to Jericho!

I also heard that a scientist in Canberra has just won a $300,000
Prime Minister's prize for his research into bees' brains.  It is
thought that this has possible applications for flying machines.
