Then I wonder how bad it gets in a place like LA or Mexico City (IIRC) where the pollution is madness and the towns are close to the equator.
In the Bass Luhrman's Romeo & Juliet DVD commentary, many members of the crew and actors had to go on bedrest and medication for a few days after filming the gas station scene in Mexico city because it was on a busy stretch of road and the combination of pollution and heat made the folks there sick.

Yes...I am a fount of useless bullshit information but wasn't that helpful.

ditto the entire cast of dune (hard to think of patrick stewart, sean young, sting etc all bed ridden with severe dehydration/reaction to the pollution.

I don't suppose you could take discussion of the freakin' weather elsewhere, guys?

No kidding. counting Gil's post and mine (yeah, sorry 'bout this), that's 21 posts that have gone off topic. People really need to use the discussion thread and quote from this one if they want to babble over shit.

I've been to New Mexico & Arizona and it's not that bad at all since it's so dry. In Toronto we have all the moisture coming off the lake so it's a lot more humid not to mention the smog & pollution drifting over the lake from our southern neighbours.

Problem is, the city of Tempe built this huge fuckoff lake right next to ASU. Go stand over the lake and you're talking about 110 and non-single-digit humidity. And we get all of LA's smog, BTW.

It was 44 degrees C in Las Vegas when I was there, and I wasn't having any more trouble dealing with it than anybody else I could see. People from warm-weather climates have much more trouble adjusting to cold weather. You can take a Canadian and stick him in 44 degree temperatures and he'll be OK as long as he has water (which the locals need too), but take somebody from a warm-weather country, stick him in temperatures 20 degrees below freezing with a high wind, and watch him beg for mercy.

Fortunately, I'm not actually from here so I can take the Great White North as well

Sweating actually. It was well over 30 degrees that day and rather humid as well. It was toasty with a capital T.

It looked a little like a problem with the picture quality to me.

Fey, may I ask what sort of camera you're using?

So stop instant messaging me about how unhappy about the picture you are. Thank you.

just because certain people aren't mature enough to deal with *gasp* cleavage doesn't mean you should cater to their immaturity. Christ, i haven't seen this kind of moralistic uproar since Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction".

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm not right now. My camera (a Samsung Digimax 240) is in Kingston. Right now I'm stuck using a camcorder that happens to take stills, which is why the image quality is kind of shitty.

I'm not catering to immaturity. I'm just tired of being bitched at.

What, you mean the local women are getty catty and jealous over the new girl in town getting all of the attention? I see some things remain constant. Don't let it get to you.

Shut the fuck up, Gagme. It's up to the contestant to choose which, if ANY pictures of them make it up on the board. It's trusting and generous of them to be willing to share pictures of themselves with other members. Someone's artwork should NOT be made fun of.

I'll let MoO have the last word on that matter. Those who wish to discuss the Aphrodite thread IN A POSITIVE MANNER can feel free to do so in the Aphrodite discussion thread. Those who wish to discuss it in a negative manner will receive a swift kick in the ass.
