It is in Australia, as far as I know.  I think I could design a water
cannon resistant bomb, and also one that could resist a robot's effort
to drag it away.  A bicycle chain and lock would probably suffice.  I
read that in USA the mother of an 11 year old boy was charged with
allowing her son to make bombs.  My mother was lucky, as I was about
that age when I made my first bomb!

About 3 km, but it does get water from another source; there are
notices in the toilets warning users not to drink the water, as it is
re-cycled, treated sewage.

When he claimed that there were many other people backing him, they
had to care, and investigate.

I have done it again.

I decided to go exotic and cook a turkey drumstick.  It was about
700g, quite large, so I rubbed Tandoori spice powder all over it, put
it in an oven bag, then in water in my pressure cooker.  After 25
minutes, I found that the meat was done more than I had intended, and
was falling off the bone, so I finished de-boning it, and in the
liquid which had come out of the meat, I added powdered chili, water,
lentils, frozen stir-fry vegetables and a few other things, cooked
them, then added the meat and coconut cream. I tasted it as cooked,
and although it had a mild chili bite, and a pleasant coconut backing,
the flavours had not melded, so I left it overnight.

Next day the overall flavour blend was greatly improved, but as
before, the combination of coconut cream and chili powder had resulted
in the disappearance of both those flavours as distinctive entities.
All I can assume is that their combination contributed to the other
flavours.  Eaten with newly baked Turkish bread to mop up the sauce,
the result was very satisfactory.

The dogs also loved the bones.

Recently we were discussing Armenia and its people and food, and I
found that there is small Armenian community in Adelaide.  The
Adelaide Migration Museum has some interesting information, including
a map of the country showing where its invaders have come from.  There
have been many.  The present population of the country is 3 million,
but there are 8 million Armenians residing outside the country.

Invaders of Armenia:

Assyrians       1410BC
Hittites         781BC
Medes            638BC

Macedonians      330BC
Persians         318BC
Alans            164BC
Pathians         100BC
Romans            69BC
