the hardest language to learn
the hardest language in the world to learn is english, and i don’t mean the type shakespear (sp?) used in his plays. The ‘english’ spoken in Australia contains so much slang that it’s the hardest language to learn! think about that next time someone from japan tries to get directions from you!
call in the cavalry!
the horses that went over to fight during the wars had their names shortened to ‘walers’. Sadly, once the war was winding down, the good old walers were going to be sold locally to whoever would buy them. MOst soldiers went for a ride on their trusty mounts, returning with tack to report their horses had ‘broken his leg in a hole’ and had to be shot.
Out of all the horses, only one returned safe and sound. ratehr sad
darwin awards – for people who die doing stupid things
some guy came runner up in the darwin awards (he didn’t actually die) for wanting to fly. He purchased weather balloons, tied them to her favourtire chair, got in with a pop gun and untied his chair. The only problem was he kept rising until he was at the height aeroplanes fly at. at this point he figured useing the gun to pop the balloons was way too dangerous, so he just kept drifting – right into the air space of the busiest airport in the world!
after nearly getting squished by planes, he popped some of the balloons and floated to earth where he got stuck in some power lines and was rescued by police who ‘were going to charge him once they figured out what law he had broken’
