@tphinney @alanpaxton @cstross @lemgandi @datarama @ZachWeinersmith a TV company re-enacted some of the expedition with like-for-like materials and food. The Scandinavian team ate like kings and actually gained weight, but the Brits all lost weight and were suffering malnutrition so the programme had to be stopped before they suffered long term effects.Scott gambled and in most years would have made it back alive, but Amundsen had the better materials and food however you look at it.

@ZachWeinersmith I would prepare by giving the people who say this sort of thing a swirly and then stuff them into a locker.

@david_chisnall @ZachWeinersmith Ok, thank you. I can't do that in my client (at "then hit quote", I don't have that button). I'll try on the Web in a moment. Thank you!

@mdiluz Same, though I was reading a book recently that said people under age 20 or so don't make the same distinction, or not as strongly. Could be more about age than generation, though.

@Legit_Spaghetti I am trying to write 4 books at once and never been so stressed in my life, but they are good books!
