Pot Pourri Fury

Mandatory sporting reference. It's the exciting French Open, set amidst the orange clay of the Roland Garros (soon to be renamed Pepe Le Pew) Stadium. This means two things. 1) People wonder whether Federer will ever win. 2) Wimbledon is just around the corner.

If you have the time, invest it here. A short clip from the critically acclaimed but yet to be released in cinemas or on dvd Mojave Phone Booth (see my links bar <--) is now available on YouTube. At risk of offending my life insurance company, I won't post the link here, but I urge you to investigate for yourself.

What the dickens is going on here? Australia's greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP are the highest in the OECD, and in major areas are still growing. Emissions have increased by 30% since 1990.

Art is in your life. I saw an art (entitled Corvus, which is latin for wang) at the Carriageworks last night. This really is a sterling venue - I can't recommend it highly enough.

The theatre looks nice. Now they just need to turn a theatre into a rail yard, to balance things. If they don't, it's a crime. I don't care if it's downtown. If there's a rail yard on Market St, so be it.

I like it that you referred to it as 'an art'. Who says that? No-one.

You know, corvus really means 'Latvian wang' in Latin. Pig Latin. Pig man.

When Latin was invented late last century, Latvia wasn't even a properly federated state. This begs the question: Where did the word Corvus originate? Some say Celtic immigration to Eastern Prussia, others say "gimme back my money." Either way, the truth is timeless.

I for one, second the notion that sheep form the backbone of any wool economy. Without them, we'd be picking cotton, or getting spat at by alpacas till the cows came home.
