Blather on Bicycling

I can confirm 1 of the 3. There is a weird building in Australia. It was one of the first things I saw from the plane we we arrived. I’ll probably confirm the rock thing in January. As for the toilet, that is a myth.

When you flush, there is an explosion of water that creates turbulence that has no form of discernible flow, and I’m convinces is the sole cause of the water shortage of Australia. So, while the water circles in an orderly clockwise pattern in America, vortexing the contents to quietly to their resting place, the Australian toilets are attempting to chaotically force excrement down a hole in a way that isn’t always so successful. In turn, multiple flush efforts result in more amplified reservoir (err. . .”catchment” in local vernacular) draining behavior.

The other thing I failed to mention is that Americans know that Australians like to ask for more shrimp on their barbecue (err. . .”barby”). I haven’t confirmed that either, since there doesn’t seem to be widespread barbying going on and I haven’t heard anyone yell out for more shrimp. I’ve seen inactive barbies on neighborhood porches, and I’m prepared for the first opportunity to see a bloke actively using their barbie so I can yell out, “Put another shrimp on the barby” and see if that illicit any response. Will report on that later. . .
