I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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.

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.

But how is that possible? I thought 95% of your native fauna was ridiculously deadly. Why would the Crock Hunter lie to me?

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.
