Sunset at the South Pole
Great set of posts! This one brought to mind: I think there's an unexplored niche of vampire movies where our protagonist lives 6 months in each hemisphere per year to minimize downtime in a coffin. With careful planning and a private jet, you can probably reduce sun time to a few <i>hours</i> per year. This would be an interesting calculation to do.<p>Bonus Sunday thought: It's always said that ants are found on all continents except Antarctica, e.g. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant</a> (surely there must be <i>some</i> ants in the buildings). I've always thought it would be interesting to try to introduce them there, sort of like a modern-day Herostratos.
