Oh, I just clicked through and read the story.

It says that it's while the phone is in use, so if you have a hands free headset thing on your ear, and you put the phone in your pocket while you're talking, it isn't going to do your nads any good.

But you know what? I'm okay with that. It means that hopefully there'll be less pointy haired real-estate agents in the world.

...

What's talk mode?

Does that mean that I should be putting my phone on flight mode?

When did Halloween lose the 'scary' aspect? That's like taking the Christ out of Christmas.

Not that I mind, given that I'm not American... or Christian for that matter, I'm just saying...

How the zebra did she manage to pull that off?

Some girls can probably manage it - my girlfriend's 27, and I've seen her highschool photos, she looks like she hasn't aged at all.

But that sheila there...

Somehow, Queensland appealing to the lowest common denominator doesn't surprise me...

I remember a radio competition in Melbourne where they tried to come up with the best nickname for Brisbane, because the one being used, Bris Vegas, is misleading.

The winners were 'Brizil' and 'Brisbekistan' :)

There's some poor girl somewhere without a cat...

The Australian flag has the union jack in the top left corner, and the southern cross (our star constellation down here) on a blue background.

I'm not sure why the background is blue - it used to be red in the early days.

Why the Union Jack in the corner? Because technically we still 'belong' to England.

I'm not kidding about that either. The Queen's representative in Australia, the Governer-General, actually fired our prime minister one time.

If Australia ever votes to become a republic, I'd say the flag will change again.

Probably due to the flag, it is popular amongst macho idiots to get the southern cross tattooed on themselves. Almost as much as a coil of barbed wire. That sort of thing goes towards showing just how much cooler than everyone else they truly are.

The same in Australia as well - two of our biggest food icons are no longer owned by Australia. Arnott's buscuits were bought out by Campbell's soup, and Vegemite has been bought by Kraft.

Yankees have a lot to answer for. ;)

Love the Eric the Eel video - Roy and HG are awesome comedian commentators. They're sorely missed from the current Olympics (and pretty much yet another reason why I have no interest in watching a minute of it!)

Best car names I've seen is 'Pajero', which in many south american country is a word for pleasuring yourself, and the 'Pinto', which in the same south American countries means someone with a very small penis. :)

86 wives and 170 kids... something tells me (as my grandad would put it!) that his fence has a lot of holes in it...

Classy guy, my grandad. :D

Heh. I got up to the 'I DON'T EVEN KNOW. right click' level.

...

You can't right click on a mac.

You know, people are focusing rather a lot on the fact that the game 'made him do it'...

But not on the fact that because he couldn't actually afford to buy GTA4 he went and bought two knives for $16.

How about banning the sale of knives to young people maybe? Shouldn't we be in an uproar about the fact that he could buy knives? Makes about as much bloody sense.

They're actually not bad considering the price. I've seen worse.

The website is so basic though that it's downright disturbing.

What the zebra was that about...
