No, and no.

No, no, no.

It's not bubbling crude. Well, it's bubbling, and it's crude, but it ain't gonna get you to Beverly Hills.

Are you saying it's not petroleum related or it's not geology related? Or both?

infinite monkey · 12-06-2011, 08:25 AM

It's not petroleum related.

Is it in Rotorua, New Zealand?

Yeah, I don't know, but without a "yes" or a "no" or a "you're close" we're just stabbing around in the dark.

glatt, you get this one.

I was thinking it might be the home where the Burmese opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is under house arrest. That was just in the news because Hillary visited her. So I looked that up on Google Earth, and it's not it. But when I looked it up, Burma looks really nice! You get the impression that it's a really backwards place from the news, but I guess that's just the government. It's no North Korea.

And the US is building an embassy just down the road from the opposition leader, only half a kilometer away from her house. I read that she lived on a remote island on a lake, but she's actually on a lake shore drive of mansions. Sweet neighborhood. (University Avenue, on the shore of lake Inya in Yangon)

I thought of Burma Shave and wondered if the name were related to Burma. Well, I'll be, it is.

Quote:

Burma-Shave was introduced in 1925 by the Burma-Vita company, owned by Clinton Odell. The company's original product was a liniment made of ingredients described as coming "from the Malay Peninsula and Burma."[1] Demand was sparse, and the company sought to expand sales by introducing a product with wider appeal.

The result was the Burma-Shave advertising sign program, and sales took off. At its peak, Burma-Shave was the second-highest selling brushless shaving cream in the United States. Sales declined in the 1950s, and in 1963 the company was sold to Philip Morris. The signs were removed at that time. The brand decreased in visibility and eventually became the property of the American Safety Razor Company.
