...and a herd of kangaroos are called a mob.

We tend to call a lot of things a 'mob' when we can't be bothered knowing what it's acctualy called. But here are a few; A mob of sheep, A herd of cattle, (my fav) A crash of rhinos (What made them think of that?), A flock of seagulls, a caravan of cars. etc...

No I reckon that one day you are going to go on a quiz show, and the final Question would be 'What is a male Kangaroo called?" and you know the answer and bingo you're rich and everybody thinks that you are really smart!! Grin Grin Grin

I haven't been everywhere in Aus never been to tas, Wa, Nt, Qld or most of NSW, Vic, SA. Hopefully I will get to travel as I get older and not just in Aus, I would love to go to America, New Zealand, Europe. I pray that God will bless me to be able to do this.

Their earlier stuff were better, but i guess they are getting more people to church and getting them to have faith in God.
35  Entertainment / Computer Hardware and Software / Office Pranks on: September 25, 2006, 06:00:47 AM
(i got this on a e-mail a whille back and thought that it was funny)


1. Go into MS Word or similar program on co-worker's computer, and add an entry to the AutoCorrect feature. This is a very simple prank that will send the novice user into frenzy. Configure the AutoCorrect option to replace the word "the" with the phrase "You're an idiot." They will usually panic and start scanning for viruses.

2. Take clear tape and tape the underside of the mouse. Make sure you take the sticky end of the tape and apply it to the bottom of the mouse so it locks the ball in place. The victim will most likely check the connections in the back, reinstall drivers, reboot, etc. before they realize what has happened.

3. Another gem is to do a "Print Screen" of the user's desktop, and then paste the image from the clipboard to a photo program, and save the image as a bitmap. Then, set the 'snapshot' of their desktop as the actual desktop wallpaper. The user will see their desktop as always, but everything on it will appear to be frozen when they try to click on it, sending them into a rebooting and virus scanning fit.

4. This will mostly only work with people with very little PC knowledge.  Stick in a floppy in their floppy drive. They will be unable to boot up windows until the disk is out. This is fun to watch.

5. Try to find a very obnoxious CD laying around. Pop it in their CD ROM. Put up the sound full blast by double clicking on the volume control on the bottom right. On normal configurations the audio CD will auto-play when windows first starts up. The person starting up their PC in the morning will definitely be embarrassed.

6. This is for that special person you just can't stand in the office, the one who talks on the phone all day with their boyfriend/girlfriend and gets personal email all day. Go into their email and change their defaults to automatically blind copy their boss. Heads will roll.

7. Change the coffee in the office coffee maker to decaf. Wait about three weeks and switch to espresso.

8. Try password securing someone's screen saver. First I suggest changing the screen saver to scrolling marquee and inserting your own word or phrase, "Mr. Jones (president or supervisor) eats beans" or something to that effect.

9. Pop out the "m" and "n" key on someone's keyboard and reverse the two.
Any flat tool will work. Just pry it with little pressure and they will easily come right off. Then just sit back and watch the confusion.

10. With someone who is on the phone a lot during work. This works if you have phones that the handset comes apart. Take the handset apart and put scotch tape over the mouthpiece inside. They can still be heard, but they have to talk loud to be heard. The next day take it off, and put it in the earpiece. Usually they will be yelling to the other person on the line the next day, and won't be able to hear them. When they complain about the phone, and get a replacement, do it on the next phone. After about a week you will notice the calls to be down considerably.

And finally...

11. Depending where you are at you may have a cafeteria in you place of work. Every week most of them put out a menu so you know what they are serving. Usually it is done on Word or Excel, and not extremely fancy. With a little work, matching fonts, and images you can make your own menus, and post them by your desk. We had one co-worker avoid the cafeteria for 2 weeks because of the selection "fish head stew" etc. before he caught on. Works great with picky eaters.Â

Not sounding anything like my name, I asked, "Who is calling?

The telemarketer said he was with The Rubber Band Powered Freezer company or something like that, so I asked him if he knew William personally and why was he calling this number.  I then said off to the side, "get really good pictures of the body and all the blood" then turned back to the phone and advised the caller that he had entered a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to appear in the local courthouse to testify in this murder case.  I then questioned the caller at great length as to his name, address, phone number at home, at work, who he worked for, how he knew the dead guy and could he prove where he had been about one hour before he made this call.

The telemarketer was getting very concerned, and his answers were given in a shaky voice.  I then told him we had located his position at work and the police were entering the building to take him into custody.  At that point I heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running away.

My wife asked me as I returned to our table why I had tears streaming down my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about fifteen minutes.

My meal was cold, but after what I had done, very enjoyable.

A couple was arranging for their wedding, and asked the bakery to inscribe the wedding cake with "1 John 4:18" which reads "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear."

The bakery evidently lost, smudged or otherwise misread the noted reference, and beautifully inscribed on the cake "John 4:18":

"For you have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband."

Here we live near the Grampians (mountains to the west of melb.) occassionally it will snow there every few years to only a certain height. That's the only snow i have ever seen and it's, i guess a very light scatter if you are used to snow every where.

I see that Australians like their coffee, too. I drink mine all day, at home and away, with sugar and cream.

 ???I'm from Aus and i am buggered. Well for starts i don't have coffee, but if i did i'd put milk in it. What is with the cream that you yanks have. is it the same as down here. the stuff that comes from full cream millk when you turn it into skim or low fat (I have no idea what you call your milk!), the stuff that you put on desserts or scones, oh wait you don't have scones or Pavalova, (by the way you are missing out heaps on that front). I went into the starbucks the otherday, yes i was also shocked to find one here i thought that it was only in america, and they asked for cream. That is why i'm confused i just wanted milk. Huh
44  Entertainment / Books / Re: Christian Fiction Books on: September 19, 2006, 09:26:49 AM
I had not once thought about this topic, whether christian fiction is wrong.

I love to read  and i  see where you are coming from and respect that, I just hadn't seen it from that point of view however i will keep reading christian fiction, because when i'm in the mood to do some light reading i would definialty read a cristian book, then one where the morals and the storyline is not based on how i like my life to be like or what i believe in. To me reading a book is like watching a Tv show except that your mind is making up what you see. You begin to imagine what the characters are like and usually in most of the christian books that i read someone is already a 'born-again' christian and shows the non-believer the real Truth and the Way.

I don't make the books a life but they are just healthy entertainment then watching of reading garbage.

By the way my favourite authors are: Francine Rivers, Dee Henderson, Karen Kingsbury, Trace Peterson and Lori Wick. I don't mind the Left Behind Series but you need to be carefull that you don't take that as legit, it is only their interpertation of the book of revalations and the end times, it might not happen that way at all.
