An amazing statue dedicated to Australian motorcyclist Kenny Blake. Located in Strathalbyn, South Australia. "Surely it is one of the most amazing and continuous tributes to a mate ever known. They come from afar to cheer this bloke, a motorcycling legend who won 11 Australian motorcycling titles. Some say he would have been at least the equal to Australia’s more recent champions Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan and Casey Stoner had he not been forced to race on a shoe-string budget."

Did they think you just had a happy end to your car trip? Lucky you!

There is no emoticon for.... admiration of their spirit

Yes, I forgot the most important question.... WHO PAYS for this infrastructure, and who owns it, and who pays its maintenance and who pays for constant upgrades.

It's time we discussed this issue. Although there is a rumbling in the media, there is little factual background. Do we need them? If so, why, and what is the cost/benefit analysis. Is there a power supply problem? If so, what is the plan to mitigate it. Is there a cooling/heat/water problem? If so, what is the plan for mitigation.

Seems the Globemaster was accompanied by a C130 - probably carring the catering truck. Just in case.

What is Donold up to now? ww.nbcnews.com/world/russia/mystery-us-military-plane-lands-moscow-rcna594262 The head of CIA just flew into Moscow, and neither The Whitehouse nor Kremlin seem to know about it (yet).

A belly button is basically a scar from when you got into a knife fight with a guy in a mask after being evicted from your first place.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks the horse if it's an alcoholic, considering all the bars it frequents, to which the horse replies, "I don't think I am." POOF! The horse disappears. This is the point in time when any philosophy students in the audience begin to giggle, as they are familiar with the philosophical proposition of cogito ergo sum, or roughly, "I think, therefore I am." But to explain that concept beforehand would be putting Descartes before the horse.

Oops sorry, PICTURES.....

A man went to his doctor, and the doctor checked him over before commenting, "It looks like you get a lot of exercise." The man replied, "Oh yes! In fact, just the other day I walked 5 miles over rugged terrain. I climbed over rocks and trees. I waded along the edges of a lake, pushing my way through tall thistles, and even slid down sandy slopes, getting sand in my eyes." The doctor was quite impressed. "Well, you sure are a dedicated outdoorsman." The man replied, "No doctor. I'm just really bad at golf."

Crotchless panties are the most impractical and useless piece of lingerie ever made. Lingerie is meant to tease, hide and hint at what is behind. But these do the exact opposite. They just frame your bits in superfluous material that still has to be removed. Or, if left on, it just gets in the way. Besides, they offer no support at all for your testicles.

The climate change debate continues.
nomadpete replied to Phil Perry's topic in Science and Technology
For years now, I have been losing sleep about global warming. And I'm sure I'm not the only one worrying about our government's lack of action on it. But now I am happy to report they ARE taking action. I am now returning home via the coast of South Australia. Why isn't our media telling all Australians about the hundreds of great big sky fans dotted along the coast? Everyone come to the coast to feel the cool breeze generated by wind farms! Thank you Mr Albanese! -
Media being what it is, there is also a possibility that the parents may not have first heard anything from an official source. I did hear (unofficially) that the parents were likely present at the search. A sad outcome on all fronts. My heart goes out to all involved.
-
I totally agree with all the above re: search efforts, discovery and legalities. However, I cannot understand anyone in an official capacity making a public announcement without being very sure of what they are saying. That was not (in my opinion) acceptable. Whover contacted the parents with such incorrect, unverified information, has made a terribly thoughtless action.

Related to addressing climate change, as well as reducing pollution, and reducing reliance on foreign fuel sources (i.e. still on topic).... Wouldn't the inland rail project reduce transport's contribution to global warming? -
Yeah. I agree. I blame local government.
