  Asy .. what is an " Antipodean  "    ??? 

Marcel, The "Antipodean point" of any place on the globe is it's direct opposite, for example, if someone pushed a giant skewer through the globe (going through the exact centre) the points at which the skewer comes out would be antipodean to each other.

The English used to call Australia and NZ "The Antipodes" because we were seen to be at the other end of the earth.

You can look up a description HERE in WIKIPEDIA

So, the Antipodean Piggy roast means not only the piggy roast in Aus and NZ, but ALSO, at the other end of the earth to da Boss's house.

see? :D

We were always told, when kids, if we dug deep enough, we would come out in China.  I wonder what the opposite side of the globe from Florida USA would be?

Check that link I put up, Tom, there's a map there and you can work it out...

Seems it's in the ocean somewhere off Perth!!!  Not many Chinese there!

THere was something on T.V. the other day about that digging to china question.  There were only a couple places in the whole of the united states where if you could go straight through you would hit land.

I'ts  a good thing me and Charlie quit digging then.  We would have punched a hole in the bottom of the pacific ocean and drained the whole think into Lake Okeechobee. :)
