Re: What's in a word.
Hi Jim.
I know this is a big country but the young people out here don't even know the basic history of the place, On quiz question; in which State is Broken Hill in and this uni student didn't know though he lived in N.S.W. Broken Hill started Australia off as as it had the biggest silver mine in the world. The Compare stares at the screen with his mouth open when many of these UNI students can't answer a simple question,and says " And you are going to be a teacher."

Re: What's in a word.
Des know what you mean, we have the 'Chase' here and I am amazed how stupid some of the people are. Between four the other night could only get 15 answers correct.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: What's in a word.
A photo of a misprinted ABC News Caption , reading " The stroke of a Penis" instead of " The stroke of a pen is", did the rounds this week. It now looks like the image was digitally altered for a gag. The Lesson? Don't go off half cocked when it comes to online outrage. Cheers JS
