This means if you could stand on Venus and see the sun sunrise would be to the west and sunset to the east. This opposite slow rotation also means Venus is the most spherical of the planets. The rest bulge at their equators because of centrifugal(?) force. If you could stand on Venus. You couldn't. It's got the densest atmosphere of any of the rocky planets, surface pressure on the ground would be similar to pressures around 1000 metres under the ocean on Earth and the temperature is hot enough to melt lead, which makes it hotter than Mercury which is much closer to the sun. And you couldn't see the sun through the thick orange atmosphere, though it is diffusely bright on the surface. Our Earth truly is the "goldilocks" world, Venus is too hot(and thick), Mars is too cold(and thin), Earth in the middle is just right.

Wibbs wrote: » Not on mine. Doesn't have the arrow either. My fuel tank nozzle is on the passenger side. Maybe the symbol tells me that's the type of pump I should aim for? Or Honda were just out to confuse. In keeping avec the thread; Honda are the world's largest producers of internal combustion engines.

The British Calendar Act of 1751 proclaimed that in Britain (and Americn Colonies) Thursday 3 September 1752 should become Thursday 14 September 1752 In 1752 Britain decided to abandon the Julian calendar in favour of the Gregorian. By doing so, 3 September instantly became 14 September - and as a result, nothing whatsoever happened in British history between 3 and 13 September 1752.

somefeen wrote: » I think that would be incorrect. In ireland Cod specifically refers to Gadus Morhua, Atlantic Cod. There are other fish similar to Cod like Haddock but the term for these is Gadoids. Edit. But you might be correct since there's a lot of ambiguity around common names. I must have a look at how EU food labeling laws define cod.

Vauxhall said all models built in the past two years have an arrow but added that the petrol cap always sits on the driver’s side in their vehicles anyway. Audis and BMWs do not have an indicator as standard, but again say it is always on the driver’s side - except in BMW Minis. Citroen and Peugeot do not have a graphic, and the cap can be found on either side of their cars. The manufacturers’ responses disprove another common, but mistaken, belief: that the cap is on whatever would be the passengers’ side in a car’s main market, so drivers could safely fill up from a jerry-can at the side of the road, away from passing traffic.
