I've never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep.
In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.
Transglobe expeditionIn 1982, British explorer Ranulph Fiennes with Charles Burton reached the North Pole during their circumnavigation of the Earth via the Poles circling the earth on longitude 0, the Greenwich Meridian. They had reached the South Pole sixteen months earlier during their journey across Antarctica - which took 67 days and despite the advantages of motorised skidoos, it was still an arduous and dangerous challenge. The ocean voyage was undertaken in a craft named Benjamin Bowring. Beginning in 1979, the 52,000-mile "Transglobe" expedition took three years and cost an estimated $18 million, but it became the first circumnavigation of the world's polar axis, ending on 29 Aug 1982. |
