Now, many of you may think that Australia isn't that important on the world stage, that we can safely be ignored and that nothing of importance ever happens here, but take a gander at this recent development:

Another colony. Basically we sent the religious types to the USA and the more honest criminals to Oz.

Someone stole a ten-ton mango? Just look for a guy with a severe hernia.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Who has a place to hide that thing?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
