Balloon Boy Over Colorado
We think our Jounos. are bad
"OMG the boy could have breathed in that helium"
And "How could he have gotten in there without the gas escaping"
Physics fail!
I would like to think the whole thing comes down to a prank by the siblings... fingers crossed for the kid if that is not the case. -
Sorry. I meant to say "And those bloody psychics"
Damn spell check.
As you were.

True Gio.
But, and it is a big butt. Gender is not just about size.
Not all men are tough, not all women are frail.
I can think of plenty of women I would not pick a fight with.
Not that I'm the fight picking type.
Try saying that with a mouth full of cookies. -
Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in the bulk of our people.
Whitman wrote that 48 years before brothers Dick and Mac McDonald opened a restaurant in San Bernardino, California.
How could he have known?.

- ACC being used as a means of clawing back tax breaks while also trying to garner more funds to keep itself afloat until a privateer comes along
I have been thinking about this since Nact stole the election.
Last time the Nats were in they privatised ACC and what a stink happened there. "Here, have a free insurance company with locked in policy holders chaps and buy yourselves an airplane each while you're at it"
This latest rort is going to be even worse. By making the corporation self funding the pile of cash is going to be huge and I can guarantee this asset rich monopoly will be flicked off sooner rather than later.
We are, once again, being taken for suckers. As for the motorcyclists. Who is it that causes the most motorcycle accidents?
car drivers. And those bloody cyclists... -
In the 18th century bishop Robert Lowth urged his readers not to end sentences if they could help it
And some of them are still writing or reading or...

how Labtests could be given a five hundred and sixty million dollar contract to be the sole provider of essential lab services, when it seems nobody carried out due diligence on their ability to deliver?
Well, we do, actually, know the answer to that but I fear a gagging order.
Of course there was no conflict of interest was there?. -
ETA: I know it's technically correct nowadays, but man I hate ending a sentence with a preposition like that.
This is the sort of bloody nonsense up with which I will not put.

All that got me thinking "Is there a rule preventing Women from playing in mainstream football?"
So I went looking and found This from the BBCShould women be banned from men's football?
The world football governing body, Fifa, has ruled that a leading female Mexican footballer should not be allowed to play for a professional men's club.And, while we are tearing down the walls of heartache.
How's this for totally ripping the guts out of stereotypes?.Why not, this will promote gender equality. I don't see any reason for not allowing women to be part of men's football team.
