To quote a hero of American history..."damm the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" This disaster is of such world-wide significance that the existing standards must bend to the will of the many to assist the needs of the millions. PROMOTE THIS CAUSE INTERNATIONALLY ... NOW!!! Damn... I wish I'd said tha...

A question???

Are the Aussie approvers willing for this cache to be heavily promoted internationally in the gc.com forums??? Given the response so far, I don't think anyone at in their right mind at gc.com could even consider removing this cache... If Team Piggy don't want to blow their own trumpet, I'm more than...

Hear Hear... Don't pay any attention to the minority of sticklers who maintain that this is not an appropriate use of a cache... If the geocaching community cannot bend the site rules for this tragic event that would be very sad... Have you marketed this cache internationally??? I haven't checked on...

The average Schmoe can do it... It's all done in HTML coding within the description... Try including something along the lines of: <BODY BACKGROUND="http://img.groundspeak.com/cache/32463_200.jpg" BGPROPERTIES="fixed"> at the beginning of your cache description and then tick the box that says "The d...

Saw it last night (but only coz we couldn't get into Team America - World Police)...

It was actually better than we thought it would be and the ending was great...

There were a few corny bits and a few scientific inaccuracies, but on the whole it was very gripping...

I can't remember which version of the software this was introduced, but I think it was version 4.00... Anyway, once you've got the right software, goto MENU-->Setup-->Power Key and then ...
