Two I like from history:

A lady called Winston Churchill drunk. Churchill replied: "Madam, I may be drunk, but you are ugly. I shall be sober in the morning."

Robert Muldoon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, when asked about the migration of NZers to Australia replied "Well, it raises the IQ of both countries."

    It's not too clearly written as they bounce around a bit, but I think they meant it was the 2nd dude ie. the 19 year old not charged with murder that got bail.

    And "The 18-year-old was charged with murder, participating in a criminal group and contributing to criminal activity and was expected to appear in bail court on Saturday."

    Four Corners: Duped: Food Exposed (www.abc.net.au)
     

    Can Australians trust the labels on the food they buy?

    First of a two part investigation.

    I'm expecting major shenanigans to be uncovered.

    Airing tonight on our ABC at 8:30pm eastern, and will be available via iView after.

    Do yourself a favour, and catch Media Watch after it. You'll find out what media BS you've been caught out believing!

    Is sydbot really a robot? (aussie.zone)
     

    idk, I kinda expected a bot to be machine like, regular, predictable and couldn't be stopped and would go on forever.

    You know, like the Terminator.

    But sydbot hasn't posted anything for 2 months.

    Not sure it matters, but I'd like to know that sydbot is safe and happy.

    It's absolutely pissing down here right now, and I noticed this little fella sitting on a ledge outside a window trying to get out of the rain.

    I've never seen any bird try and shelter there before, but am doing my best to not disturb him.

    Hope the eaves and ledge give him some protection and he can stay safe.

    Update: The rain has stopped, and my little friendly shadow has gone. All the birds are going mental! The cockies sound furious!

    Victoria is already in a state of disaster, and today looks like being a really bad day for fires in Sydney, so thought I would link a couple of key sites I use:

    Stay safe!
