I hope you have fun with watching Big Brother -sighs- I hate that show. o_O; Well, Phar Lap's heart weighed 6.2kg. But I don't know the size of it though... I'm going back to school tomorrow! (this is un-Australian, but a thing I would like to point out) |
Oh, funny story about the Melbourne Cup. Way back like 10 years ago, me and my crew at school made a mock-bet on who would win the Cup. The horse I picked was a favourite to win, and it came second-last. Its name: Sub Zero (I picked that since I was a crazy Mortal Kombat fan, and Sub Zero rocked)

Umm... I'm trying to think of some other Aussie things to talk about... does anyone have any ideas? ^^; |
Anyways Aussie stuff uh,
Oh how about the water supply what are your thoughts on it. |
THe water drought is a difficult situation to interpret. There are things that could be done, but all seem to be very hard to put into practice.
|
Yeah true.
I miss the days when we could water the garden and use *cries* water slides R.I.P Water slides Taken away from us so quickly FROM:000000-2005 XD. |
o.O i dont have much problem with droughts since i moved to tassie :D, but when i was in qld it was tough, could you emigine only having one shower a day in that heat o.O
but i got out of washing up :\ but seriosly, something needs to be done |

o.O you mesured them
that would take ages XD |
Anyone watch that show 'Mythbusters'? Its on Monday night on SBS. That shower thingy would make a good myth for them to confirm or bust. It depends on what size glass though.
|
yeah i remember that show, i dont watch it much anymore
It wouldnt be that hard to figure out though |
Oh,Mythbusters i love that show i watch it everytime.
|
Okay, what would be a cool Australian myth for those cool nerds to bust? Anyone?
|
hmmmmm.......
how bout does the tassie tiger still exist XD (how many times have people tried to bust that one :P) but thats more of a legend. I know they say if you where a big enough magnet whhile your playing the pokies youll get the jackpot, but i dont know if thats an aussie myth :P |
Uh,Um.
How much beer does the average Aussie drink in a life-time. Nah that's crap it's 10:30 at night here. |
How bout is aussie becoming america XD (thats a hard one XP)
|
How about the fact that a Koala is not a bear?
|
Quote:
thats not really a myth, thats just an american mistake, (not the americans again) come over here and call our koala's bears just coz their furry :P they wouldnt like it if we called thir squiril's bears XD |
|I love telling American tourists about the 'Drop Bears'. Most of the time, they believe it.
|
Drop bears ?
Dont think i've heard that one, go on tell it :D or is it just saying drop "bears" of the start of koala's? |
Actually that is probably how the story came around, but its just a myth that we spin to scare the tourists. Drop bears are giant bears that live up in trees and drop on your head out in the wild.
|
Have you ever been asked "Do you ride kangaroos to school?"
That's happened to me a few times before. lol |
hehe, have to say I've never heard of 'Drop Bears'
speaking of myths, has anybody heard of the Yowie? (I hope I spelt it right) lol, having gone to the USA just a few months ago, I have to say that Americans don't really know an awful lot about Australia.. For some reason, most of the people I talked with seemed to think that I came from England... I would just like to say that I don't have a British accent, thank you very much! :P I don't recall anybody asking me if I rode a Kangaroo though, were they being serious, or were they joking? |
lol drop bears,
everyone has heard of the Yowie :P (in australia that is) :P what about the bunyip (if i spelt it right) (i actually forgot the name of the bunyip for a second there XD) |
They also think we all drink those giant cans of Fosters beer. Thats not true. We drink mayonaisse
Or what about the platypus? That's a big myth too, dont ya know? |
