1. Never tickle a sleeping Dragon

2. Dursley's Drills or something of the sort...

5. a map of the London underground

9. Unicorn hair?

10. Shakespeare 'tis taken from Macbeth


We've all heard that half a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know that's not true.

1) El Nino translates, literally, into Little Christ if I remember right. Thats because it pops in to spoil the Christmas cheer. Its a complex arrangement of warm currents and temperature/pressure alternations which do not let nutrient rich water rise alongside Peru, Chile and such ruinin the fishing business. Simply put, the climatic conditions prevelant in the Pacific shift east. Australia gets a drought, Indonesia forest fires and South America gets drenched and no fish.

3) Day before yesterday

cheers!!!
