Why is that when you get older the hair stops growing on your head and start growing on your back?

Gravity? ;)

I had something on Fri/Sat sore throat etc. I sat around the house on Sat and slept, somewhat better now but not 100%. Now the wife is complaining of the same symptoms.

Blowfly eye....glad their not that big in real life.
Somethings missing............hhm​mmm, I know the coat of Mortein to hide the hairy back.

With that many lenses I wonder if they have QA problems, front focus, back focus

Just recieved the batteries, thanks Clarence.
Do Australia Post always open packages with batteries? Or maybe they didn't have an x-ray machine at hand.

Eh? Did it just arrive opened or did they repack it with a note or such? I've never had my batteries opened!

The whole top of the envelope was slit open, and they'd stuck a couple of bits of tape over to hold it - kind of, no note.

Not sure Alice, they may have opened it because it X-ray machines can't scan into the lead. I get asked when I go through the X-ray machines at airports when I had my CP-E4 in them :p

I don't mind really, it was just interesting!
My macro bracket package was opened too - that's just a big lump of metal and plastic in weird shapes.
