I think they are mate. I know this sounds a bit double dutch, but I like them in some ways, but don't in other ways, if you know what I mean.

Just like everything, i'm sure they have their pros & cons.

Finished watching a segment on Animal planet. A very addictive show called "infested!". Had a very good part on their about the Mouse Plague that devastated the farmers of Streaky Bay in South Australia. Pretty insane & nasty to say the least! Farmers couldn't do a thing about it & eventually as mother nature brought them in, she took 'em out -but not before those guys lost a years worth of crops & income though.
 
Ok I thought this Aussie invention was awesome... The Australian Crawl or the name it's known as now. The Freestyle stroke. For years I thought the band was named after Pub Crawling, but it's swimming!

Yep, happens all over Oz. I've often been awakened by mice running inside the walls at relative's farm. Funniest story though was on the Corner Crawl - a member had a small tent that under the fly was mesh on one side and nylon (?) on the other. The mice would crawl up the mesh and slide down the other side - all night long :lol:
 
Does anyone know where Vegemite came from?
It's the left over yeast used in the beer brewing process turned into a paste, so yes. Aussie kids have beer for breakfast!
 
You mean it is not axle grease?
 
Ferdinand Porsche may have invented the first all wheel drive in 1900. It had electric motors on each of its 4 hubs.
