The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
The fact of the matter is this: while the Germans can claim to have come up with the car, the Italians with electricity and the French with flight, everything else that has ever mattered in the whole of human history has come from a man in a shed in Britain. Everything. The internet, penicillin, the mechanical computer, the electronic computer, steam power, the seed drill, the seismograph, the umbrella, Viagra, polyester, the lawnmower, the fax machine, depth charges, scuba suits, the spinning jenny . . . I could go on, so I will. Radar, the television, the telephone, the hovercraft, the jet engine, the sewing machine, the periodic table . . . It doesn't matter what field you're talking about - from submarine warfare to erectile dysfunction. The world always turns to Britain when some fresh thought is needed. And with only 25,000 engineers coming out of our universities every year, I fear the world may be doomed. Of course, you may imagine that the giant economy that is America will ride in on a horse and save the day, but don't hold your breath. They got through the sound barrier only thanks to us; they stole the computer from under our noses; and they got into space only thanks to the Germans, who knew about rockets only because our Spitfires had made mincemeat of their Messerschmitts. The Americans? Pah. Left to their own devices, I doubt they could build a pencil. Sir James Dyson, who makes purple vacuum cleaners of such immense power that they can suck up rugs, mice and even medium-sized children, is so worried about the situation that he's opening a new academy, which will be called the Dyson School of Design and Innovation.
As frequently happens, Super Dude nailed it.
Pat Robertson -- "Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, They were under the heel of the French, you know, Napoleon III and whatever. And they got togethter and swore a pact to the Devil. True story."

The turnouts were not very large at all.Also, the main reason Australian's don't want the flag to change is because we don't really find it necessary. Maybe, if we left the commonwealth but otherwise it is not an urgent matter.
WHEN WILL YOU ADRESS MY MONKEY ARGUMENT???? NEVER???? THAT\' WHAT I FIGURED.:lol

Girls screamed, “I love you William,” and clamoured to shake his hand. “It was just the perfect handshake,” said Alexandra Green, 15. “It was gentle ... like a prince.”Two young girls carrying a sign for the prince and an Australian flag were so moved by his appearance that they vowed they would “totally never vote for a republic”.
natural selection is a fact, I agree, but natural selection IS NOT evolution! The word "SELECTION" gives it all away... it is a process where information is SELECTED from what is already there, i.e. it is an INFORMATION LOOSING process.
Just read a pretty funny quote from a Creationist page on Facebook:Quotenatural selection is a fact, I agree, but natural selection IS NOT evolution!
