    The VW bug that is parked on the left side of the street has a license plate that says '28IF'. Paul would have been 28 when this album was released, IF he would have lived.

    The license plate also says 'LMW' which stands for 'Linda McCartney Weeps'.

    The car on the right may be an English hearse.

    Actually, then you disagree with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
    According to my reading, the Coriolis force has an opposite effect in the southern hemisphere as compared to the northern (see above), and diminishes the nearer one is to the equator. That is why tropical cyclones do not cross the equator and rarely even head toward it.

    I understand what you are saying Pirate-Drakk, and it really sounds quite logical.

    However, Jim is quite correct.


    Let us look at this another way:

    Imagine you have a hurricane in the Northern hemisphere on the edge of the equator and a cyclone in the Southern hemisphere also near the equator, with one directly above the other.

    When both are veiwed from orbit directly above the equator, you would see the Southern cyclone spinning in a clockwise direction and the Northern hurricane (cyclone) going anti-clockwise.

    When you look at it this way, the observer's POV of both cyclones does not differ relative to his location, thus proving the observers POV in a southern or northern location is irrelevant.


    Cheers,
    Dave

    Nah...my brain is just filled with all kinds of information that most days is fairly useless. Of course that's not to say that I am not a Beatles fanatic. I have all of their "record albums" on LP.

    Ahh yes, the Amphibious M12 'Tortoise' Tank.

    Great armour plating, but not very fast at all.
