You know, I notice there area a lot of Aussies in SL, so I'd like to point out a few things of Australia, for my idiot (read: American) friends:

* Most Australians speak excellent English. You don't have to speak German to converse with them, by and large, I've found.

* The capital of Australia is NOT Sydney, as everyone thinks. It's Vienna.

* Did you know Hitler wasn't from Germany? He was actually Australian.

* The Koo Koo clock was invented in Australia.

* At its height, the Australian Empire was the second largest country in Europe (after Russia).

I hope this helps you. The next time you feel "Quiggly Down Under", hug an Aussie!

I forgot to mention that Australians live on the cutting edge of the future, and actually go to bed before you've even decided to piss for the day. They can predict the future! Ask one if you're going to have a good day.

I love the doubly wrong capital of Australia one though - Sydney -- lol... as much as I love my hometown, and think the *actual* capital (Canberra) is a bit of a letdown by comparison.

As for me, the best question I was asked was 'did you ever have a Kangaroo?'
'Yeah I did, but it was no fun as I had to sling it's tail over my shoulder'.

Siggy.

What do we call a boomerang that doesn't come back?

A stick.

Siggy.
