It’s a lovely place but I think the Australian land mass us moving north faster then us. The winds weren’t favourable and the East Australian Current (the underwater highway in Finding Nemo) wanted to go south. After a trip to the 360 degree liquid horizon we had only traveled only 5 were north and the crew were mostly green. With this in mind the decision was made to cut our losses and wait for the winds to agree with our travel plans.

It definitely could be worse :)

Then I pushed the info into a Google Map that you can access from your mobile by clicking here or if technology doesn’t fail me, it should appear embedded below. Green is good (4 or 5), yellow is alright (3), and red isn’t great (1 or 2).

Space chefs will be able to create deserts with densities which would normally collapse like the iron core of a red supergiant during supernova (I’m trying to use space references).

This is my chocolate space soufflé recipe (note: some of the technology required for this recipe is yet to be invented)

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs separated (If we’ve stopped enslaving chickens use the menstrual extraction of another animal of an artificial substitute)
  • 1 egg white (as above)
  • 90g dark chocolate (I’m sure we’ll still be enslaving poor people in far off places to make cheap chocolate)
  • 75ml thickened cream (or the blood of an Aliens style android)
  • 1/2 tbs caster sugar
  • 20ml (1 tbs) brandy (or synthehol)
  • 1/4 cup butter (or non animal congealed fat substitute)

Preparation
For the fluffiest result ensure the tractor beam in your zero gravity automatic rotational specific euthermic (arse) cooker has the ability to slowly rotate partial liquids in multiple directions, this is required for centrifugal expansion.

Step 1
Melt chocolate and butter to 50°C in your arse (note: egg white coagulates at 65°C so it is important to keep the chocolate below this temperature)

Step 2
While the brown goo is rotating in your arse slowly add the eggs, cream, and brandy. Set the tractor beam in your arse to a rotational speed of 10rpm and reduce temperature to 35°C

Step 3
After 5 minutes of mixing in your arse set the rotational speed to 3rpm and over 15 minutes lower the temperature to 3°C (if your arse doesn’t have a cooling function, place contents outside not in direct sunlight in pressurized container)

Step 4
Enjoy!

Remember, no one can weigh you in space ;)

I was tossing up between buying a $27,000 2012 Harley Davidson V-Rod and a $1000 2009 Bowell 50cc Jolie. vs

The V-Rod had hog like styling while the Jolie had under seat storage and hooks for you shopping bags. There were some other minor differences but in the end I decided to go with the Jolie with a side of hog

After a few hours in paint I had come up with this image “Harley-Davidson Motor Scooter”

I then bought these ingredients for about $30

  

Spent two days toiling at a friends house

But it was worth it to have a shiny new custom Harley-Davidson hog

And when it’s dark it’s pretty hard to tell them apart. Other bikies have started nodding back, I’m like a real life bikie now

Here are some more pictures to help you if you would like to do something similar, please feel free to ask questions
