And Jim, I think all the satellite data there is already days old. It's not the data transfer so much as the analysis that takes time - as far as I understand, it's still something that can't really be done by a machine for objects this size in rough seas, so people have to scour through everything with mk I eyeball.

Yeah, I notice the latest is material is already three days old.

I wonder if it would be possible to plot/track provided the weather is good enough.

It's good to see that International Rescue have brought along Thunderbird 4 to locate MH370's black box.

I'm looking at the latest ill-defined pictures of these objects and I'm wondering--do Antarctic ice floes routinely make it this far north?

Cover up or cock up take your pick.

My personal, ill-informed, opinion is cock-up over cover-up. But it was close for a while.

It's a keeper!

Could I use it such as....
"Don't cock it up!"

Yes you can.

You most certainly can.

Don't cock it up!

I've cocked up!

I've cocked it up, again!

She cocked up the food!

He's cocking it up!

This is a right cock up!

Absent of any diagnostic evidence, always choose a mistake over conspiracy.

Herr-Berbunch · 03-26-14, 03:25 PM

So did Platapus cock up by not putting cock up in the first place, or is that a conspiracy too.

Aliens.

Cock up sounds a lot better than conspiracy

Not at this time of year. It's only just Autumn this end of the globe.

TarJak · 03-26-14, 03:54 PM

Could also be a cover up of a cock up.

Good to see Jeff learning English.

Ah. Thank you. Had a feeling it couldn't be that simple.
