in reply to Meeting People Is Easy

A timely reminder of how easy it can be to meet the person behind the computer. I checked, and there are only two monks anywhere near my location (Sydney, Australia), repson and jepri. However, when I move to Dallas, Texas in a few months, I will have to check out the perl scene there.

      True. I was there for a month last September / October. I arrived there in the middle of their longest dry spell on record, during weeks of days with the temperature over 100 degrees - coming straight from a Sydney winter. (Ok, I know that most of you people in the north of the US wouldn't even consider Sydney as having weather that even remotely approaches a true winter, but still . . . )

      And then there is the coriolis effect - the water does swirl around in the opposite direction when you flush the toilet.

        I presume you know that's a myth, and you just forgot to put a smiley by it. Just in case, you don't, read the Urban Legend Debunking FAQ.
