WATER WASTED

Inner-city Victorians vote green, but they don’t exactly act green.

  1. I saw that at Bolta’s and was amazed. But hang on, riding around on a bicyle with a HoWARd sticker on it, tucking into a hunza pie and knitting beanies is what being a green is all really about, not this water bizzo.

  2. Could it be an increase in bathing?  Nah…

  11. Hippies bathing more?  No way! 

    I wonder if wronwright has a hand in this….

  12. My guess: They have a leak in their hydroponic set up.

  13. It’s threads like this one that help me remember that the Golden Ratio is an irrational number.

  14. Hmm. Probably just a coincidence, but Paco Industries has seen quite a spike in sales to RWDB insurgents in Victoria of Precision Aquatic Carbine Ordnance (ultra-high pressure super-soaker squirt guns with extra-large water tanks and smooth pump action). I understand they are frequently used in drive-by hose-downs of hippies.

  15. #13: Dang, PW! So that’s what that number is. I learn something new everyday here at Tim’s Comment Academy.

  16. #13 PW - as I’ve mentioned to 1.618 before, I worry that she might have a thing about copulating rabbits. Or maybe one day she just divided the length of her credit card by its height

  17. #13 Are you saying that Tim helps you keep your perspective, PW?

  18. It’s comments like #13 that help me remember how erudite we all are in this place. No wonder it is shunned by those of lower intellect.

    Posted by Skeeter on 2006 12 01 at 11:49 PM • permalink

  19. Let’s see, we have #s 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (speaking of irrational numbers), then we have #13.  Damn.  Is this some kind of linear thing illustrating the whole?

  20. Creepy.

  21. I was always under the impression that the Golden Ratio was the TAB Favourite Numbers.

    Just to keep this OT and hold Andrea from releasing the Killer Bees, Fitzroy used to be an inner city slum suburb in the 60’s. I once saw a wino fall off a tram going full speed in Smith Street, get hit by two cars, roll over, get up and continue to swig on his flagon of plonk.

  22. Clearly some Fitzroy eco-activist has decided that Gaia’s lifeblood must be freed from the man made constraints of Victoria’s water supply system and is running their taps continuously. Take that facsists! That, or they overdosed on heroin in the shower and will slowly (as the months go by) end up being enjoyed as a type of soup, by the fish in Port Phillip Bay. Ohhh the horror!

  23. Golden Ratio-schmatio. Too high-tech for me. I prefer three. I like three. I have always liked 3. Any number in which the sum of the individual numbers is divisible by 3 is also divisible by 3. Try it.

  24. #23 kae.  Also works for 9, however neither work if you’re using octal (base 8). (The property applies to the number 7 in this situation.)

  26. I warn you.  Anyone who addresses 1.618 directly will be her friend.  Forever.

  27. “It’s comments like #13 that help me remember how erudite we all are in this place.”

    Well, except for me.  I taught First Grade because that’s the highest math I can do…

    One other thing:  is it because I’m a lowly Mac user w/ Safari that I can’t get any of the Pmcode stuff to work?

  28. About the water situation, we are having a referendum, no wait, it’s a plebescite, here in Queensland in March next year. It’s been moved from 2008 sometime (when the state election is due), forward to next March. Anyway, it’s about whether we want recycled water.
    I don’t understand why the money is being wasted on a referendum. We need water. It needs to be done.

  29. #27 texasred,

    No, unless none all of the pmcode was ignored in this entry, it should work.

    That should have been none, not none.

  31. #23 thru #25:

    I must admit my personal favourite among divisibility rules has always been the one for 11.

    Anyway, I’ve encountered a number (no pun intended) of young-ish people who have never even heard of the rules for 3 and 9…maybe I’ve always been too much of a math geek, but you’d think this kind of stuff was commonly mentioned in elementary school. Or maybe the math teachers are too busy praying to the almighty Calculator god nowadays…

    Recycling mellow yellow? ... that’ll really save ‘em some water.

  33. #23 thru #25, #31:

    A touch off thread, but thanks for the link; I’ve used those rules since middle school, never forgot them (except the “11 rule”....heh!).

    Although I learned a slightly different the rule for multiples of 7 under 1000, thus:

    Take the last digit, double it, and subtract that from the first two digits, and take the absolute value.  If the result is divisible by 7, the original number is as well.
