No, I mean the newspaper, although I do have the floppy as well. Unfortunatly, I can't play it. No record player, you see.

so, we can add something to our "Ways To Tell You're In Australia" list:

It's bloody hot.
An incontinent teddy bear has done something unspeakable to your hat
Everything's Trying to Kill You
There are stupid names for everything
The animals look stupid.

I dunno. I mean, we nickname things stupidly (the Melbourne Cricket Ground -> the MCG -> the G. That's how fucking lazy we are, we have to abbreviate abbreviations, for fuck's sake. Or bikers -> bikies. "Oh, a bikie, he has a knifey, oops, I'm in the morguey!") but check out our naming convention for animals:

"I just found a new snake. It's brown. What do we call it?"
"Brown snake."

"I just found a new spider. Has a red spot on its back. What do we call it?"
"Redback spider."

"I just found a new snake. It's stripey like a tiger. What do we call it?"
"Tiger snake." (Note: some people wanted to call it Stripey Snake, but there was worry it would result in confusion with all the other stripey snakes)

"I just found a new snake. It's like the tiger snake but black with faint white stripes. What do we call it?"
"Black tiger snake."

"I just found a new snake. It's black with a red belly. What do we call it?"
"Red bellied black snake."

Okay, we didn't do so well with the fuzzy things. Note that kangaroo does not mean "I don't know".

That's not unique to Australia, Koumei.

I mean, the lists of birds in North America include things like "Yellow-bellied sapsucker" and "red-headed woodpecker."

Not to mention "Hey, dude, this snake has a rattle on the end of it's tail...it's...like...a rattlesnake!"

And the all-time favorite "Oh. hey, dude, this snake has a rattle on the end of its tail and a diamond pattern on its back."

And don't even get me started on the white-tailed deer or its distant relative, the Woolly-Nosed Red-Butted Moose.

Of course, then we have the scientific nomenclature that goes in the opposite direction a lot of the time.

Names of places on the moon.

Yeah, it's hard to get excited or creative about naming a new animal when it's basically "like that other thing we already have a name for, but with different colors." The ones with stupid names are the ones that look stupid, like the kangaroo, the wombat, and the platypus.

And of course, even the platypus, the silliest animal ever, is venomous enough to kill small mammals. Because this is Australia, and Australia hates you. No matter how ridiculous and innocuous something looks, it was put there to kill you or cause you suffering.

One American comedian (I forget his name) said he loves our country because the deadliest things can all fit in a shoe. "In America, the deadliest things are bears and shit, and they can't fit in a shoe. Well, maybe they could wear a pair of really big shoes, but they're not hiding in them - you know it's a bear, even with shoes on. That won't fool anybody."

depending on the accuracy of that wording, it actually sounds like Eddie Izzard. I mean, except for the American part. though possibly it could be Mitch Hedberg or Daniel Tosh.

I dunno, that last pillow thing looks like a self-execution device.

And making sure those pencils are organized properly would be a total bitch.

Well you only gotta do it once, then just put em back after ya use em.

Yeah, when I saw that pillow, I totally thought it looked like a pillory for kids.

As for the pencils, the part I'd hate would be once you start to use them enough that they're not the same length. Then it would look stupid.

Really, anything Jack Chick made could be put on this forum. I just liked the image of an angel throwing some guy into hell.

Oh, and this.

There are a lot of those.

Also, your link doesn't work.

This is the one you want.
