Tasmanian crop circle mystery solved...


Aussies are going to love this story!

Another mystery concerning crop circles; this time in OZ!

The mystery surrounding crop circles in Tasmania has been solved. Stoned wallabies were eating poppy heads and hopping around in circles. Yes, its true!

Tasmanian Attorney- General, Lara Gibbons said they enter poppy fields, get high as a kite and stagger round in circles. Then they crash, leaving the eventual circle.

Many people have believed in the past that crop circles wer created by aliens - not these ones though friends. These are fair dinkum wallaby created ones. Deer and sheep have been known to act weird after eating poppies in the state's highlands as well. Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.

Jim won a million from the lottery, but wasn't too happy...


Jim won a million from the lottery, but wasn't too happy...


Jim was a country boy, and had won a lottery prize with the ticket he had bought in the city.

Jim was coming into town to collect his prize. He was all dressed up in his Sunday best.

He ambled through the door of the office of the lottery organiser."Give me my $20 mllion dollars now mister." he told the organiser.

"Sorry, but it doesn't quite work that way. You get a million today, and another million every year for the next 19 years." the organiser replied.

Jim was so furious with this answer. "What! If you won't pay me now, give me my dollar back." he demanded!

Two gay penguins hatched an egg and entered mother/fatherhood...


Two gay penguins have successfully hatched an egg and entered mother/fatherhood and are proudly rearing the chick.

Z and Vielpunkt, both males gladly accepted their "Easter present" and set about hatching the egg as if they were born to it, at a zoo in Bremerhaven in northern Germany.

The two "fathers'' are by all accounts diligently handling their offspring. Z and Vielpunkt are reportedly part of a six- strong gay penguin community among the zoo's endangered Humboldt penguins who became famous when four Swedish females were brought in to unsuccessfully "cure" them of their homosexuality.

Like humans before them, the "cure" never worked. Its all in the wiring as they say!

Sire's passionate encounter - not all about sex...


Sire's Passionate Encounter. It’s Not All About Sex...

Some people ask me why I persist with writing poetry on my blog, especially as they don’t elicit a whole lot of comments. I tell them its because I like using poems as a form of expression and that I love to share them with people. Even if one person happens to like what I wrote then I think it was worth the effort.

I wrote this after a personal experience I had in what seems to be eons ago. Some of you may not agree with my experience, unless that is you are a hot blooded Aussie male, who more than likely experienced exactly the same thing I did. And so, without further ado, My Passionate Encounter!

I got her home late one night
Picked her up at a bar, without a fight
I have wanted her, for so long
I could not wait for the last song.

Up the stairs we went, the door I locked
I held her close, I was so hot.
With a struggle I removed her top
I gazed upon her form, I could not stop

In desperation I tore off her wrap
You could almost hear the dripping tap
Perspiration covered her naked form
The beads of sweat visible now the wrap was torn

My feverish mouth claimed her own
The sensation so great my mind was blown
It was not long before she was spent
In frustration against the wall she went

Though short, for it did not last long
I knew I did nothing wrong
For as she lay there, once held dear
She truly was one heck of bottled beer

I hope you enjoyed that? It was actually and old joke or something that I turned into a poem because I couldn’t remember the joke itself enough to tell it as it should be.

We really enjoyed it, Sire. thats why I'm putting in a link to your site for people to read more of your wit, and perhaps some of your technical advice over there too!

When Ralph met Ralph - a mere coincidence...


Did Someone Say "There Is No Such Thing As Coincidence?" So said my friend Familyfunandfaith! But what about when Ralph met Ralph?


"Quite a few years ago I moved to work in a congregation as a youth minister. I knew before I moved there that the preacher and I had the same first name. We were, and still are for that matter, Ralph. It was easy enough for folks to distinguish between us, because he was Ralph A and I was Ralph B., both in seniority and in actual initials.

But I found over the ensuing weeks and months that there was an eerie number of coincidences surrounding us. His wife and mine both had the same first initial, J. We both had two children and we both drove brown Chrysler product station wagon vehicles. Are you impressed yet?

Before I moved to that church I had been writing a bulletin article each week titled Reflections by Ralph. When I arrived I came to find out that Ralph A. was publishing a weekly bulletin article titled Reflections by Ralph. I discovered that his dad and mine, as well as both our grandfathers were also named Ralph.


One day, several months after my arrival, I was in the secretary's office going through the mail that had just been delivered to see if there was anything there for me. I saw that there was a letter there for Ralph A. But I was dumbfounded to read the return address. His dad lived on Chestnut Street in Abilene, mine lived on Chestnut Street in Lake Jackson!


That was enough for me, I quit looking for more coincidences. I did not want to find that we had be switched at birth or some other unacceptable situation!


Got any tales to top that?"

Lion man TV series in doubt over mauling death of keeper in Kiwi wildlife park...


Lion Man series in doubt after fatal mauling:

Film company which makes TV series Lion Man says future of series in doubt after keeper fatally mauled by white tiger.

The makers of The Lion Man television programme say the future of the series is in doubt after a tiger attack claimed the life of a keeper at Zion Wildlife Gardens in Northland yesterday.

Dalu Mncube, was cleaning an enclosure at the park when he was attacked by a male white tiger. Other staff members tried to pull the tiger away but failed. Visitors to the zoo including overseas tourists witnessed the incident. The tiger was shot.

Philip Smith, managing director of Great Southern Television says no new series were planned until an employment dispute between "Lion Man" Craig Busch and his mother is settled.

The Department of Labour, police and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry are investigating and Mr Smith says his company will wait for the outcomes of the investigations before making any decisions.

Mr Smith says his crew has worked at the park for many years and there has never been any indication that such a tragedy could happen.

The fatal attack on a zoo keeper at Zion Wildlife Gardens in Whangarei comes as no surprise to one tiger expert.

Dr Brendan Moyle from Massey University says accidents with big cats happen regularly at zoos all over the world. He says it has to be remembered that tigers are dangerous carnivores and their instinct is to kill.

Dr Moyle has been working with tigers in Asia for the past two years and says he would never go into an enclosure with a tiger which has not been anaesthetised.

Mr Mncube is being remembered as a big hearted man who just loved big cats. Philip Smith, the managing director of Great Southern Television which makes The Lion Man series filmed at Zion park, says Mr Mncube's death has come as a big shock.

"Dalu was a big-hearted, beautiful, caring animal lover who was always enthusiastic, hugely experienced and just a great guy to be around."

Mr Smith says his crew has worked at the park for many years and there has never been any indication something like this could happen.

Is this fossil find in Germany the so-called missing link...


Is the new fossil find the so-called missing link? From Germany comes this remarkable find of a 47 million year old lemur which could supposedly be the common ancestor of all apes monkeys, including our own species.

Darwinius masillae , a small lemur- like creature that lived 47 million years ago, reportedly illuminates a critical chapter in the human story when the primate family tree split into two branches, one of which led ultimately to us.

The fossil allegedly could even mark the point at which the evolutionary lineage of humans, apes and monkeys diverged from that of more distant primate cousins such as lemurs, lorises and bushbabies. Its anatomical features suggest that it lies close to the origin of the human branch and it could be an ancient ancestor of human. Could it be your ancestor?

The skeleton that was found in 1983 in Germany is missing only one leg. I'll give you the link and you can decide for yourself whether you should believe or not! Its as good as it gets at this stage. Regard it not as your great, great, grandmother, but more like your great, great, great aunt!
