poms!! :P

On the news tonight, 2 people from England called for help after getting lost or something at sea. They were trying to ROW (caps for emphasis, not shouting :)) from Western Australia to an island near Africa! Dips**ts!! So the Australian Navy has gone to get them at the cost of Australian tax payers. I say tell them to row back to England!! :P

Seriously, rowing between countries? *shakes head* some people are so stupid!

I don't get that... the human brain has enough power to get a man on the moon (sorry, had to use that sentence again :P) and it still manages to be stupid like that... ugh, you humans... ;)

About the whole space thing? Just reminded me of two very funny facts:

1)The sinclaire ZX spectum had more processing power than the first computer that sent man to the moon.

2)some clever boff realised that biros wouldn't work in zero gravity, due to the ink needing gravity to flow. Consequently, NASA spent millions developing a new 'Space pen' that could work in zero gravity.

....The Russians however simply took a pencil.

Haha pencil :P

ABC News
Noel-Smith says he has had a frightening but awesome experience.

"Suddenly from nowhere a wave hit us and it smacked me on the deck and I hit the hand rail with my head and smashed that and then just sat there completely flabbergasted by the whole thing," he said.
