Isn't the ozone layer invisible? :o

Science drives me nuts!
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life

    yeh but you can hear them and smell them... can you smell the ozone layer? Does it make a noise? Has anyone visited it? do we just study those things up there from down here? We could just make anything up and people would have to believe it.

    I got burned at the beach this weekend! I immediately bought some carbon credits from Al Gore's company! Then I bought some aloe.

    haha Seriously though, there was a hole above Chile a few years back (think it's moved now) and people couldn't leave their house without getting sunburnt because of all the UVs.



    Googling it I found an even more interesting question

    Are sheep going blind in Chile?
    Yes

    I apologize for my kindergarten approach to science. But for all I know, the ozone layer just might smell... :)

    Yeah, they probably kill 1 baby for every carbon credit. So that way we can spend the next generation's carbon allowance guilt free :D

    when I was in south africa, they told me I got burnt quickly there cos that's where the hole is. my sisters husband was brought up in Australia... he recently told me THAT'S where the hole is... now it's in Chile? I just read in a website that it's actually shrinking... See nobody fucking knows where it is cos we can't see it.

    :D I will not deny that that thought entered my head when I typed it. Well if they TELL us it smells... does that really mean it DOES smell? I probably shouldn't talk about this stuff online :eek:

    I think the decline in Aqua Net use is allowing the hole to shrink.

    Some visitor presentation freaky weird guy with a moustache visited my high school like 7 years ago (eek 7 years since high school?! I feel old!) and he let us smell his O3 gas. I can't remember what it smelled of, but it smelled of something.

    The hole was above Chile in 2003... I saw it on Newsround and everything (I'm not old enough to watch the adult news yet!)
