Come on guys, put down your papers and pay attention to what yer doing, like driving...
Hint #1: The rate of increase in density is decreasing.
Hint #2: Come on in fellas, the water is smooth...oh wait, that's cause it's oily.
Hint #3: Is it just me or is it getting warm in here?
Happy Brainstorming!
Phil
Edit: Btw, there is an alternate trigger for the end of thread in case Patch down there in Aussie land injures himself trying to solve this. Didn't wanna leave ya'll hangin'.
You're cooking pasta?

Patiently waiting for the asteroid with my name on it.
This Sunday, I'm riding the museum's Snowflake Special. Usually, that's a chartered L train running all over the CTA, but this year it's a chartered Metra Electric train of the old High Liner cars that are being retired. The trip is a fundraiser for us to acquire and preserve a pair of them. They didn't put out a detailed itinerary, but I'm assuming we will cover all three routes, including the South Chicago branch where no white guy or even a small group of white guys would normally dare to go. I rode a similar charter a few years ago, and we were shadowed by a Metra Police car the whole way.

Einstein is probably getting a boost right now from Seti's latest bout with server trouble. I know it is from me. I even let my phone have a task.

I've been away on holidays over a really long w/end. I do that to escape a certain horse race mania that we have each year about now. A beautiful spot on the coast of South Australia, an historic fishing port by the name of Robe. This is sited on a bay - Encounter Bay - named after an incidental crossing of the ways between two British survey boats, one captained by a Mr Matthew Flinders. In 18 hundred and something. Those were rough days indeed to be travelling on the ocean, and very more so in the Roaring Forties. There are memorials to men, entire ships indeed, that were out in the savage storm of the day. Wrong place and wrong time. One saying was "Good men or bad men, the sea will take them all". Then there is a host of natty vignettes like an argument that Governor VeryStupid had with Baldrick The Smithy, or what Lady FatDumpling did when she found out about Governor VS and The Pantry Maid etc. Why are the pantry maids always anonymous? Or phrased as the pantry maid being Gov VS's downfall, not the other way around ? Anyhows I guess they were simply being themselves, good or bad, and not acting up just so that 150 years later we could gossip about them.
Nowadays there are more nets for tourists than fish. You can sit in the pub, eating a good loin steak and drinking a fine local wine, while looking toward Antarctica. Which I would see if only I was tall enough. However the proximity to a large body of water did not I think help me solve this thread's puzzle, the closest I can come up with is some sort of fracking for oil or somesuch going to ruin Yellowstone, say .... :-)
Cheers, Mike.

LPTP means Last Person To Post wins. We don't give anything away except our admiration and kudos. Phil won the last thread and thus gets to run this one ie. he decides the criteria for what defines 'last post'. This is typically something chosen in advance and kept a secret from the rest of us, until it's over that is.
Now Phil is patently rather more evil than most OP's, thus he has set a real brain fryer of a treat ! So he lays down some breadcrumbs for us to follow and maybe deduce what his criterion for ending the thread is. I think he prays to the ancient God Obtuse ( old Egyptian for 'sideways with a zig-zag' ). Alas he has not disclosed his bribe price, which I consider as most unsporting ... I think he is out for blood here. :-)
Actually sauna is good ...
Cheers, Phil.

Not a sausage of an idea of what's going on but hello everyone :) Want to say sauna but don't know why...
Hi Annie ! Thanks for stopping by here at Einstein )

I solved this thing several posts ago ... Phil just hasn't admitted it yet.
Phil is gaining weight.

:))) Thanks for the insights Mike... and y-e-e-s... I did detect a distinct whiff of something diabolical afoot :)
Loved your hair pic :) Succumbed to a dare a couple of years ago and did mine that exact colour. Didn't work out as I expected at all :/ Hair stayed dark brown and scalp turned shocking pink... for about six weeks.
edit: Hi Bill :) yes... lost alien listeners shuffling about all over the place at the moment... but with winter well on it's way my Einstein RAC won't be dropping back to zero for a good while... call me a foul weather friend if you like :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

I do hope he doesn't explode like a custard muffin or maybe a jam donut .... hey that's it : Phil is heating up a jam donut in the microwave !! :-)
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) I can't believe that Chrome's spell checker doesn't like 'donut'. Sheesh ....
( edit ) What ? I sign off "Cheers, Phil" ? Whoa, I'm clearly rattled ! My left cerebellum is arguing with my right thalamus, the left hippocampus ( Yes. Seriously.

The supposedly brainiest bit - wherever that is - is telling the rest to shut up. It's getting a tad rowdy and I haven't begun to get a clue as to why the gall bladder is even up here in my skull at all ....

RE: Greek fire
Nice try but the Byzantines are not related to this quest.
I personally would not have thought of them, you are thinking outside the box, which is good.
