Very clever, indeed, but ain't that the International Herald Tribune?

'Tis indeed. You'd think I could at least get the order of the letters right. That's what a pre-coffee post'll getcha. I've edited my previous post to more accurately reflect reality. Thanks, Anna.

Actually, you're not far off the mark there (speaking collegiately and not personally).

The Country Dump

Hah! I like this one. There is an observatory in Dunsink, Co. Dublin which was the first city observatory in Ireland we both know where the first country one is, don't we Anne? which, 100 years ago, was well outside the urban environs. Today it is surrounded by housing estates and is no longer a creditable functioning telescope but is still used for Advanced studies for Astronomy students in Trinity College.

Also located in Dunsink is the largest city dump. So the observatory has acquired the unflattering toxynym of 'the dump'.

Actually, guru is the Indonesian for teacher. Doesn't have to be spiritual at all. And the Indonesian for kangaroo is kanguru.
