Is it them or is it me?

Is it them or is it me?

A rhetorical question, of course, as I already know that it must be 'them'.

Just reading a 'most informative and highly technical' news item on the SBS (Oz TV) website a minute ago:

'''''' It's longer than two buses, weighs more than a Boeing 747 fully loaded with passengers and can pull 16 Statues of Liberty over a mountain.

.......... boiler able to hold enough water to cover an area the size of a basketball court to the depth of a high-top shoe. ''''''


It's the newly overhauled Union Pacific Big Boy 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive and, obviously, I am now much wiser due to the technical detail provided.

The world has gone mad and the pig ignorant are taking over, but not to worry some of us older members might get out just in time.
