  1. 'I've found the most important thing on wikipedia.' Source
  2. True dat!
  3. @TruHart1 I'm sure (without checking) that TB might have weighed in on the subject as well.
  4. Wasn't it Alec who alerted us to the malign existence of the Dallas Mafia?
  5. OK, guys, just take the man at his word that he is a jerk and stop talking to him or about him. Why would we want to talk to a self-confessed jerk?? That way, the next time I'm in the States, there will be less competition and I will have a clear path to hiring him.
  6. Not to be too much of a pedant, but it's not quite the second largest, more like the fourth. As well as Paris, Kinshasa and Abidjan are larger than Montréal.
  7. A story in one pic (source):
  8. The wisdom of the young: [Tweet from a prominent Sydney journalist and author] Very pleased to learn my 8yr old son and his mates refer to KFC as Kid's Fattening Centre. [source] The observations was quickly confirmed by the parents of other 8-12 year olds. One, however noted that his son referred to it as Kentucky fucked chicken.
  9. I'm sure you do! However, that was where the 'I imagine our Beachboy' pic was! As an aside, today in Canberra was 24C, after 7 of the last 10 days being 35C+ and of those, the last two days 38C (aka 100F). Blessed relief.
  10. Winter in Rio isn't that cold!
  11. I didn't read it that he was in the same hotel, just that [wherever he was] he received an e-mail about an offer. I will agree that it was tactless to comment on an e-mail, and even that it was tactless to be looking at e-mails in the circumstances.
  12. The Economist has an interesting article, although a somewhat shallow one, on the complexities of gender identity http://www.theworldin.com/article/12635/pick-and-mx?fsrc=scn/tw/wi/bl/ed/ And it's not just a narrative of modern western 'sensitivities', it includes views in developing countries and those of indigenous communities.
  13. Meet them, talk to them, they can help you and they are happy to do so (for the most part).
  14. And before you ask, no we don't have them either, same as you except no $1s. But we have 5, 10, 20, 50 cent and $1 and $2 coins and no 25 cent.
  15. You need $25 bills!
  16. Australian Antenna of the Year (source): And (unrelated), OMG, it's finally happened!
  17. Cool, thanks. The things we do for science!
  18. I've visited your ad for the sake of the exercise (logged in to the site but with 'visibility' turned off), and I suspect that I haven't showed up there (I had visited previously too but unless you were paying attention to visitors you may not have noticed).
  19. @OliverSaks, I had wondered if advertisers had some sort of override switch that negated our perceived anonymity.
  20. I was under the impression that if you were not logged in to RM, or if you have turned profile visibility off, no one could see that you had visited their profile.
