Merry Christmas (and Peace on Earth)
Friday, 22nd December 2006 by James Turnbull
For the GGSS team (and many other people), today is the last working day before we get to take some much needed time off for Christmas.
So in the only way we know how (and with the help of a field in New Zealand), we'd like to wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas!
Things will be quiet around here for a little while, as we both intend to take a few days off, spend time with our families, exchange gifts, stuff ourselves silly, and stand about in front of the TV swinging our arms manically!
But don't despair loyal readers! We'll doubtless be back for a few posts before the New Year, and until then (whether you celebrate Christmas or not) I'm sure you'll agree with the admirable sentiments of another nearby field.
Have a great festive season everyone!
Thanks to Stephen Maslin.
Nice shameless book plug there =]
How about a nice shamelss plug for the first female President of the USA? Pelosi 07!! stay tuned….
Merry Christmas to all Sightseers and thanks to James and Alex (and their publishers) for solving at least 5 Christmas present dilemmas!
Check out the perfectly circular volcano:

…or perhaps a gigantic nipple, 15 miles across?
Lee, glad you liked it 😀
Patrick, uh, yeah, whatever….
Cookie, Merry Christmas to you too, and most importantly, we seem have fixed your commenting problem!
Glenn, Not relevant, but cool.
@Glenn:
The volcano is surrounded by a national park, which has a boundary measured a consistent distance from the peak.

Hey James – you may live to regret fixing that little problem!
Patrick: yeah, dream on. I’m a Democrat and all but there is no way.
