so between 3 days to a week away from the desk, airfares, hotels bills, and entrance fees once every two years is about all I can manage
The plural of penny is pennies. Penny's refers to something belonging to a girl called Penny.
NZ switched to decimal currency in 1967 ("the 10th of July - next year") After that date the most common use of that coin was to improve the electrical connection in torches that used D size batteries.
which only goes to show you how much we post pounds and pennys... I mean pennies... antipodeans know about these penny things - I was born 1967 so have no real/practical experience with the old money.

The reference is incorrect. He did not have involvement with the produced Dune films. Credit where it's due, he did a lot of great stuff. Just not Dune.

eh no you silly little git... just that with the release of the "black swan" book all the overblown hoopla from the media seeming to call every second even slightly less than normal thing a "black swan" incident.... yet for us black swan is a normal, almost every day, thing.. in fact right now as I type if I turn my head to the right I can see the very river named after these swans and as I walked in to my office an hour ago I walked past no less than 3 black swans... there probably were more but, meh, why count? they are ubiquitous, always there on the foreshore, watching the commuters, like oversized pigeons and I doubt many people who've lived their life in London or New York even notice pigeons
so yes we know other people in the deep dark past of european history were unable to think of the unthinkable occurrence of black swans but it just seems weird...
