Nope, Cocos nucifera is not a tree but a monocot.

So it's actually a really, really big lily?

That might be overstating their relation a little.. but at least it's closer than any true tree.

They all will because Glinda the good witch of the west will show up in the nick of time in this fantasy land to make 3 more apples and float them gently down to each of them.

Now, Glinda promised she wouldn't do that ...

Just fitted my Smartbel and am rather pleased.
Of course it didn't work at first, that would have been too easy.
So after checking all the connections and power etc I was getting frustrated.
Grumpily, and at great risk to my Man Card I read the instructions to see if there was anything I was doing that was wrong.
It turns out I was answering it incorrectly and rather than just answering I needed to hiy the 1 key.
Having done that I was relieved to hear it work properly!
Now to get the cctv web enabled and sort out the biometric locks.
Not only that but I finally uploaded the very last of the 1300 ink cartridges to the website.
It has been a busy day!
I start on the toners tonight.

An astronomer is someone that can look at a single, still photograph and from it pull a million years of history and a million years of history yet to come - which means they're not as different from an astrologer as they'd like to think.

Except that astronomers don't make shìt up.

I don't believe that the astronomer can tell as much from that one photograph as he claims.
I think he did make sh*t up.
What is great about astronomy, though, is that by the time his observations can be measured the human race will be long gone.
Nice work if you can get it.
