Tara ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The Cuba thing, though...we can't verify that they are in fact doctors, and the Castro administration has tried in the past to send us people from their jails. So there's a possibility that "1100 doctors" means "1100 folks we want out of our prisons."
Cuba does have more doctors per capita than the US. And last time I checked, equal or better life expectancy, so they can't all be turning tricks.

According to the CIA World Fact Book, it's currently about half a year shorter than in the US. Close enough to be treated as equal in practical terms. It has a slightly lower infant mortality rate.
Australia, on the other hand, has a life expectancy at birth that exceeds that in the US by over 2.5 years. Our infant mortality rate is 72% that of the US, which I have to say is lower than I expected.
Timelies,
Call me Gronky McGronkerson this morning. Ugh. I think I managed 4 hours of sleep last night with maybe 2 of it being sequential. I wanted to just turn the alarm off and hide under the pillow this morning, but if we call in sick the day after a holiday we don't get paid for the holiday.

But how is that possible? I thought 95% of your native fauna was ridiculously deadly. Why would the Crock Hunter lie to me?
And what about the dingoes? That can't be right.

No kidding. I mean, dingoes. And babies. Dingoes!
I may be a little slap-happy right now. Sleep-dep is worse than alcohol sometimes.

Obviously, the U.S. needs more poisonous animals to raise our life expectancy.

Cheney's not enough?
I'm skipping like a mad thing, so does anyone know if there is a watch 'n post planned for "Bones"? If so, what thread? thanks!
Oh, does that start tonight? What time?
