a zillion

thesophy - they talk about religious philosophy and mysticism and stuff

is this an attempt at crowd sourcing?

or a trillion and one

In Australia, which is a short scale country, one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) is followed by one quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000).

In long scale countries, one trillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) is followed by one trilliard (1,000,000,000,000,000,000).

Or maybe the answer you wanted was just ''one trillion and one''.

I'd like to know why theres never been any families of black or asian or any other race/ethnicity on Neighbors??? I'm not talking about individual characters, I mean actual families that live IN Ramsey St

Forever now its just been white Australian families. Surely it would broaden the shows audience if say there was an aboriginal or chinese familly living next door to Toadfish Rebecki

please correct me if I am wrong because I dont really watch Neighbors much these days.

Perhaps one of the families in Ramsay st has been aboriginal! You can't judge origins on skin colour you bastard!

Eddie, are you kidding?

In order for aboriginal recognition you need to identify yourself as an indigenous australian and be recogised by the aboriginal community as being aboriginal.

It is quite possible toadfish or Dr Carl met these requirements and the writers simply chose not to make a big deal of it.

apparently neighbours tried an asian family once, they didn't test well in audience polls so they wrote the family out again.

the rubeckis will just have to do.

Q. What's the Theosophical Society about?

I saw that billboard the other day and thought to myself is 'Theosophical' a made up word?

What I want to know is why there hasn't been serious calender and clock reform. I mean, seriously,
60 seconds in a minute. 60 minutes in an hour. 24 hours in a day. 7 days in a week. A range of weeks and remainders in a month and 12 months in a year.

There's 365.25 days in a year and a month is based on the cycles of the moon but basically ignores the cycles of the moon.

Why are we using this ridiculous system?!

Why are we using this ridiculous system?!

Because it lines up so well with the way we measure arcs and circles???

Why do large women choose the hamburger with chips but accompany it with a diet coke?

They think that sugar is worse for them than salt and fat.

it's slightly less fattening. they're slightly smaller than they might be otherwise, as a result. as a large man i can testify to this.

In my flavoured ansell Okpuamu.

In Nigerian Okpuamu means ''Penis Hat,''. Go on google it.

what was Elvis's drink of choice offstage?

Pepsi. He didn't really drink alcohol.

thank you!

Hmmmm

He actually drank his own urine. He would urinate into empty pepsi cans (not bottles as one could see the liquid due to the bottles being transparent) if he was performing as it was easier to just duck off-stage for a minute and piss rather than go to a toilet. He developed a fondness for drinking his own piss as one night, coming off stage, he was parched and, in his usual state of bewilderment he grabbed the first drink he say, which happened to be a can full of piping hot piss, his own mind you, and after excitedly gulping it down he quickly realised that he had drunk his own urine. This fact did not deter him from continually doing so for every subsiquent show following this eventful event-ridden event.

Various Artists/Kev Carmody, Cannot Buy My Soul: The Songs Of Kev Carmody

is this really the most read record review on the site?

Do male dogs have nipples?

of course they do toadphucker. Why do you think they're so sexy?

titties

OK, collective, how should one handle this scenario:

North Melbourne, a few hours ago, Kez (never very flash with money, particularly not the day after a record fair) having been stood up by a health professional who makes about $80 an hour, is bailed up by an annoying junkie panhandler who instead of going on her way after being told politely 'no, sorry', starts to follow and harass said Kez, mocking her voice and spitting at her. Kez, already a bit upset but generally a peaceful soul, feels a sudden urge to take a swing at the badgering woman (despite the wisdom of that Hitmen song 'Don't Hit Girls'), but worried about concealed knives/infected syringes/superior streetfighting skills (and handbag/wallet stealing propensities) of the junkie classes instead hides in the bank doorway (yes, irony, as the bank just locked the door just as I got there to get money for the stand-up doctor because I had a little but not much, and to hide from the junkie somewhere with security) before very furtively withdrawing from the cash machine, crossing to the opposite side of the road and scurrying back to the car, locking it from inside, and bursting into tears.

I'm noticing more often it's women hassling me for money, and that more often they won't take no for an answer. Has there recently been a quantum-shift in the junkie demographic causing more desperation? Are their puppetmasters putting more 'Ice' in their mix? I know the answer is to wear a suit and not look social-conscience. That or Harden T. F. Up.

But seriously, how does one extricate oneself from this unbidden situation with karma, finances and person intact?

Kez, I have 2 answers to your dilemma, both tried by myself, but I will need to phrase my answer in story form.

The first one. While my band & I were taking a break during rehearsal I was a bit peckish so I ran across the road to the local IGA & bought a capsicum. Outside the IGA on my way back to rehearsal I saw a woman nearing me & recognised the signs of someone about to ask for money. Before doing anything I took a bite out of my capsicum (I was hungry after all). The woman looked at me eating a raw capsicum & crossed the street to get away from me.

The second one (as suggested by a friend). Walking along Glebe Point Rd one evening I saw another woman come towards me & I, once again, recognised that I was about to be asked for money. Just as the woman approached me & began to speak I said ''have you got any spare change?''. She said ''I was going to ask YOU that, smartarse'' & then I had to hotfoot it out of there because I think she wanted to hit me.

So to cut a long story short I would encourage you to always have a fresh capsicum on hand for these situations. It's the most effective approach &, to be honest, I felt like a bitch after asking a beggar for money & probably deserved a smackdown for it.

The end.

Kez - just run.

Sorry to hear that, Kez.
I would just keep walking. I might cry in the cars too.
Sigh~
Also, I would like more police on the beat.

On the TV show The Mentalist, does The Mentalist have special psychic powers, or is he just very perceptive? Or plain mental?

last night, there were threads on finishing songs, finnish songs, fishing songs and felching songs

how is it possible that nobody started a fisting songs thread?

I'm sitting next to one of those Altise electric heaters that is all-enclosed, no exposed element. I bought it new last year, paid mid-dollar for it from Harvey Norman.
It's on full. It's less than a foot away. I'm not in a huge room... I'm cold. If it were closer to me I'd still be cold. If I were to touch it I'd be burnt. Surely atmosphericaircurrentothermal scientists should have invented a better heater.
I can't return it because a) I've lost the plastic bits that fell off it, b) do you think I could find the receipt? c) we chucked the box into the recycle bin as we opened it (or should I say HE did - I woulda stuck the empty box in the shed forever) and d) it's over a year now I've been hoping it'd come good. Are my power bills gonna be massive with nothing to show for it? Was I just spoilt by having decent heaters in my formative years and this one just can't compete with the memory?

On the TV show The Mentalist, does The Mentalist have special psychic powers, or is he just very perceptive? Or plain mental?

He, like, psyches people out. Like Detective Gorrin. And he can tell when people are lying, like that guy from Lie To Me. And he can cloud men's minds, like Alec Baldwin in The Shadow. Or something. I think his main power is the ability to cause me to irrationally yell at the telly whenever his smug face apears on the scren.

Where is this AOR music on my computer coming from? It's not iTunes (closed) and isn't anything I actually own anyway; it's not YouTube (because it really REALLY isn't Shihad, the only thing I've attempted to look at recently). I have a few random windows open after the computer crashed and I reinstated the history in tabs, but the source is eluding me and proving frustrating as there are things I actually WANT to hear and they're being drowned out/turned into cacophony,
