God is dead. Don't you read Nietzsche in Melbourne?

I am sure Kim (Kath & Kim) speed-reads Nietzsche whilst sipping on a Cardonnay.

G'day,

Betcha no one knew that Australia was now part of Europe!!

Nietzsche is dead - God.

It's too far away and it's got spiders that live in toilets and bite you on the bum and kill you dead.

Nuff said.

Then they throw your body into the sea, and, as it floats out, sharks drag you under and eat you. (Gives a new meaning to the word 'undertake', really.)

Not to forget the drop bears falling from the trees.

Much as I enjoyed lots of Austalia, who was it* who said it was somewhere you flew over to get to France?

*this is a rhetorical question.

margo_oz Aug 29th, 2008 03:14 AM

Well - I didn't know it was part of Europe, either.

Why are they still charging the horrific airfares to France and Italy, then???

Australia IS different - come and visit.

Mucky Aug 29th, 2008 03:24 AM

I'll come over again Margo, if you get me an ashes ticket for the Cardiff game, I can't get one here lol :-)

I am all in favour of Australia being part of Europe - but am not sure how they are going to tow it around the cape to get it here.

I definitely want to visit Australia again, probably several times - I just wish it wasn't such a long flight to get there.

Cholmondley_Warner Aug 29th, 2008 03:31 AM

Bum biting spiders, blokes with corks on their hats, rubbish beer and a fondness for watching men in very tight little shorts?

Count me out.

They got wild dogs that eat babies and everybody licks poison toads.

Josser Aug 29th, 2008 03:53 AM

They've got jellyfish with boxing gloves that also kill you dead and snakes that lie in wait for tourists.
Let's face it, everything there is out to get you.

Cholmondley_Warner Aug 29th, 2008 04:10 AM

Tasmanian devils, dingoes that eat babies, snakes that can make you dead and boxing kangaroos.

They're not even much cop at sport these days - we beat them hollow at the olympics.

On the upside you might see jenny agutter in the nip.

robjame Aug 29th, 2008 04:19 AM

...and don't forget those cannibal guys that run around with spears and boomerangs and they stick their tongues out at you.

No, that's Kiwi rugby players.

I reckon that Australia would just about fit into the Atlantic ocean if you towed it to Europe. You might have to squash it a bit and chop a few bits off.
That would mean that we could travel to the US by train, stopping off in Australia on the way.

Cholmondley_Warner Aug 29th, 2008 04:34 AM

so we go through the country with baby eating dingo dogs, bum biting spiders, boxing kangaroos etc to get to a country full of religious people with guns. And Bears. And probably religious bears with guns.

No thanks.

Bible belt opossums have migrated throughout the US and Canada.
