Hardly surprising seeing as they paid for his political campaign.

If you go out expecting to have a bad time there's only one thing that's certain ... you won't have a good time.

Congratulations, Darren! Your IQ score is 131 We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Precision Processor. This means you're exceptionally good at discovering quick...

I'm sure it truly is an amazing story merc, and you seem to be in a real state of loss over her, but there are other stories out there, maybe not quite so amazing but enjoyable nonetheless, and they are just waiting for the starring character to come along (i.e. you). All said and done, I don't...

Tea, the "something red" stuff is actually made from turnips. A friend of my mum's worked in a bakery and all they do is boil up a big pot of turnips once a month or so, add a heap of sugar, artificial flavours and colours and voila!!! red stuff

How do you know this person is the one person you care most about? Have you already met everyone in the real world?

here here! mayonnaise is the only thing to put on chips. or maybe just a splash of vinegar. i always used to love the pineapple glaze donuts from 7eleven etc... but find them a bit too sweet nowadays. the best donuts in Australia come form the donut vans on the side of the road. fresh, hot and...

I think you need a little change in your life. Try doing at least one thing a little bit differently each day. It doesn't have to be anything big, just a small change. If you normally drive to the shops, walk instead one day. Something as simple as this can give you a different perspective on...

What type of music did you play? Jazz? Blues? Classical? It's obvious you don't like playing anymore, but do you still like the music? If so, why don't you get out to some clubs where people with similar tastes gather and get down to some diggin' tunes with them. Never know, you may meet someone...

It was quite excitning to see Mars up close although i had imagined it to be larger than it was through a good telescope. We did get a good look at the polar cap and the canyon. I was also quite surprised of its colour. I would have thought a telescope could bring up the redness of the planet...

Sounds to me like you need to dedicate some time to stop and smell the flowers. 90+ hours of work a week is ridiculous, isn't there something you'd rather be doing? Look back at the things you used to enjoy and take them back up as hobbies. Who knows, you may even meet someone with similar...

It's about time someone brought up the lack of WMDs point, and it's about time George and his 'coalition of the willing' answered some questions. In my eyes if it is proven true that there never were WMDs in Iraq the US should be forced to answer to the UN for their actions, and immediately...

Another film I just thought of is Go To Hell. A fairly obscure Australian animation movie about a mad scientist travelling through space with a collection of genetic material from earth. He and his son are cryogenically frozen for years at a time while the ship is run by generation after...

Thanks for the recommendation time, I'll see if I can hunt it down.

Just finished reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and it is the best book I have ever read. The whole concept of babies gestating in bottles and then being conditioned to suit a particular role in life is mind-boggling. Most of the ideas portrayed in this novel could never be reality but...

A couple more I just thought of....... Snatch - Probably Brad Pitt's best acting IMHO. A Simple Plan - how many things can go wrong in one story? U Turn - as above and of course Kooyanisqatsi, Powaqatsi, Baraka Best Aussie movies....... Two Hands The Castle Malcolm honold, I have picked up on...

Just a quick one for now, I'll come back later when I've had time to think. Gattaca would have to win "best concept for a movie" and also come in close to the top for acting and character dialogue.

Paul Hogan used to have a weekly show here back in the late 70's early 80's. It was one of the funniest, most original, comedy shows ever on Australian telly. Every now and again they show a "best of" the Paul Hogan show but it's the same old bits over and over again. I think after he made...

An article I read in the Herald Sun the other day said the Australian four wheel drive would soon be marketed as an SUV to bring the Australian car market in line with the U.S. After pondering this for a couple of days I can come up with not one single reason as to why this would be beneficial...

How did you manage to get 1 under on the 8th hole? I only just manage to get par.

Only just heard this and cannot qualify source but....... Apparently there are five companies who won the contract to rebuild Iraq after the war and all five funded the republican party's last election campaign. Talk about looking out for your friends. :roll:

But why? Hasn't the world functioned perfectly well for thousands of years the way it is? And what is the benefit of a generic worldwide people anyway? I personally think the answer is for every race and religion to respect their neighbours differences and say "hey, it works for them why don't...

Slightly off topic I know, but I like your new avatar Clocker. I wouldn't have thought there would be any Holden fans in Michigan. :)

I'm just about to complete my third WU so look out little white dog :P

That's the funniest string of posts I've read in a long time. Good one Tannin, keep 'em coming!!!

I give up. Thread abandoned.

I second that. One or two fresh and funny jokes are fine, but no more spammy email jokes please.

The obvious answer to all of these questions is to leave these people to their own devices and stop harassing them to the point where they feel they need to terrorize the rest of the world. well, IMHO anyway.

Why are cancerous cells in rats "not the issue" here. As you well know, medical science has used rats for many years to test if pharmaceuticals are safe for human use. If U238 can cause cancer in rats, it is almost 100% possible it does the same in humans. Likewise, if a pregnant female rat will...

The Defense Department's Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute tests seem scientifically proven to me.

As with all contraversial topics like this one, there are differing viewpoints. Obviously it would be best for governments and arms manufacturers to prove the safeness of DU because it is a highly effective tool in warfare. But clearly there is another side to this story. From this site...

I don't know what to say. I am appalled and disgusted by the way these people have been treated. I feel sick just thinking about this. *warning contains disturbing graphic images* http://www.web-light.nl/VISIE/extremedeformities.html One can only wonder what the consequences would be if the...

I would think in a scenario like that bones are going to break regardless. What I'm refering to is other types of stress i.e; trying to hold onto the steering wheel during a head on accident.

I think being relaxed during the crash would also help to prevent breakages of bones as there is no opposing force being exerted on the bones by tense muscles and therefore the limb in question can absorb most of the impact.

I've heard of a similar thing happening when babies are involved in accidents. An 18 month old child fell from a fourth storey window and was completely unharmed due to the fact that a child of that age has no sense of fear and therefore was completely relaxed at the moment of impact.

That's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing it with us Clocker.

Windows XP Wait a minute though, I'm not that stable am I?

I don't even care who wins in the Australian football let alone American football. Soccer on the other hand is a reasonably skillful game. I don't watch it much but I usually tune in to the F.A. cup and a few matches when the world cup is on. My spectator sport of choice is snooker, probably...

The coin I was thinking of was a $200 gold coin released in the mid 1980's in Australia, although I don't think it ever ended up in circulation. After doing a bit of a search I came across this site. The gold Australian kangaroo, at the bottom of the page, looks like the coin I was thinking of...

And the amount of gas held in storage?

I personally think the answer to the world's energy/pollution concerns is offshore hydrogen generating plants. These plants could be run on solar, wind, or wave energy and, using electrolysis, split sea water into hydrogen and oxygen. Both gases can be sent to land via low pressure pipelines...

Thanks for the information on Absinthe/Absente JSF but I am interested in finding out more about it's mind altering properties, as experienced by Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Allen Poe, Pablo Picasso, and many other artists, writers and poets, but I might just have to wait until I get to the Czech...

Cheers Merc, and keep up the good work! bartender, bugger the doubles and triples, just pass the bottle over the bar and hand me a funnel :P

How about pickled onions? You do have pickled onions in the US don't you? Even more vinegary than beetroot and even more delicious. Especially the "Blue Banner" ones from Tasmania, so strong they make your eyes water......mmmmm...yum! :P

A car running unleaded fuel without a catalytic converter actually produces the same amount of pollution as a car running on leaded fuel. The only difference is the types of pollutants produced. The lead in fuels used to bind with the lighter toxins, mainly benzine, and so prevent them from...

Fresh oregano and/or basil. Not too much, but just enough to bring out the flavours of the tomato base and compliment the creaminess of the mozarella. I sometimes like a tiny little sprinkle of ham on top so when the pizza is cooked the ham goes burnt and crispy for a bit of added flavour and...

A mighty fine band too, I might add! They did a reunion show at the Corner Hotel in Richmond about 2 months ago, but I didn't find out until the week after. GGGRRRR!!! I wonder if they'll ever do another one?

I seem to recall hearing that the length of a cricket pitch is equal to one chain, an old measurment that's not used anymore. Anyone else heard of a chain before?

Good stuff Adcadet! Congratulations!!! I've just been accepted into a course too. Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology, and am getting excited about the prospects of going back to study again

Nice avatar Jake, or should I say JoJo! :)
