In Australia, even the fastest broadband connections (generally 512kbps) come with download caps, often as low as 1GB per month, always lower than 10GB per month.

Nope, I won't stand for this! I'm going down to Australia and I'm going to kick some serious ass until those Nazi-bastard internet service providers cease and desist all capping procedures. Where do they think they're pulling this kind of crap? Australia? I have news for them, us Aussie supporters aren't going to let these bloody facists export their caps for Australian internet use to Australia! Screw them and their marxist propaganda, let's take this to the streets!

Or maybe I'll take a nap instead. I'm rather good at napping you know. Posted Image

Nope. Tried it. It keeps track by your ISP, I believe. It isn't a tabs thing.

Nono, the tabs thing would allow me to load up a bunch of replies and do them all at once. My transcendant body is immune to flood controls.

I think that I'd rather prefer a fresh pastry and a comfy pillow, but to each his own I suppose.

Q: What's wrong with this post?

A: Trah hasn't told us something.

[/B][/QUOTE]

A is the answer.

I can only access the internet when I go my Dad's office at the ANU. (Australia National University)

The ISP here has a 1GB limit. That is painful.

There are only 2 fully furnished rental houses with enough bedrooms in the entire city, and the only suitable one comes available February 28. It is really nice, as it backs onto a nature preserve. That means I probably won't have full time internet until early March.

It is hot here. I have classes on the third floor of an un-airconditioned building.

So....
1. µ made her pillows purple
2. She implies that this is temporary, and the purple can be washed out
3. I see no mention of inks or dye, so the only other possibility for how she made them purple is....

µ, have you considered seeing a urologist over this? Posted Image

So you've decided that not only is µ urinating on her pillows, but that her urine is purple to such an extent that it temporarily discolors them, right? If this is so, then she probably should take a trip down to her local Urologist, but I suspect that you are in violation of the law of parsimony here and are subject to cuts from a Mr. Occam's razor.
