Woo! My boss just brought me Chinese food. Not for free, of course, but somehow lunch tastes better when my only involvement in acquiring it is, "I'll take that combo plate, here's five dollars."
None of it means a damn thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From Wired:
Australian for 'Pickled Long Pig'
Boozing it up in Australia can have a deadly side effect: It can dramatically boost your chances of being attacked by a saltwater crocodile. Nearly a third of all individuals attacked by "salties" between 1971 and 2004 had been drinking, according to a study published in Wilderness and Environmental Medicine. It's not that the crocs -- whose numbers have boomed from 3,000 to 75,000 since the species gained governmental protection in the 1970s -- suddenly developed a taste for internally marinated humans. Instead, it's alcohol's charming effect on the human brain that's to blame, according to Charlie Manolis, one of the study's authors. "Sometimes when people do drink they throw caution to the wind," Manolis told AFP. No kidding.

I can't imagine a likely situation where I'd think that wrestling a crocodile would be a good idea. How often do people hold you at gunpoint and say, "It's that, or sex with Dick Cheney!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Did they consider that maybe a third of all Australians are drunk? Huh? Did they?

That crossed my mind.
Fosters - it's Australian for croc bait.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Because hating freedom is always delicious.
