Australia must be a blessed land. Here in Brazil they sell TVs in inches
(1 inch = 2 cm). Is there any job opportunity for a starship pilot and an
intense care pediatrician over there?
Alberto, you would be welcome to come live in The Netherlands. We measure our TV screens in centimeters* AND we are short on medical staff AND the Dutch branch of the European Space Agency (www.esa.int) might be willing to hire you.

*TV's used to be measured in inches here, but the last few days we have been shopping for a new TV after the old one finally died, and found out that they are all measured in centimeters nowadays.


Jeroen -- who just bought an 82 cm widescreen TV and a DVD player but has to wait till Friday for them to be delivered
