it is a can opener. Therefore if you open a can with it, it is a can opener. Therefore only things that you can't open a can with are not can openers. Therefore you cannot open a can without a can opener.

64. I have been busy undermining Easter.

Using circumstantial evidence, I'm accusing the Easter Bunny of "financial irregularities" and other things.

Where does it get that chocolate from? Why is the money trail cold? Who finances it? How can the Easter Bunny leave so many chocolate eggs around? It just doesn't add up.

It is an undisputed fact that to date, the Easter bunny has been unable to account for its movements on: 9/11 and 7/7.

Worldwide illness has risen along with chocolate egg consumption. Therefore we can only conclude that easter eggs are poisoned with chemicals from big pharma.

84. No, not for a few years. My degree will put me in demand all round the

world so I might then. But yeah, Aussies do travel a bit. Not as much as the people of the Netherlands or whatever, but still a fair bit.

And Aussies with degrees promptly get exported. Big problem here known as the brain drain.

87. Hey, Random_Australian!

a very belated Welcome to DU too! Are you originally from Australia? Or are you a transplant? How did you find DU?

I grew up in Australia; we got transferred there in 1965. Stayed until late 1972. Absolutely loved it. Haven't been back since, but I'm sure its changed a LOT since I lived there....

I sure do miss meat pies, sausage rolls, fish & chips, and pasties.....

88. mmmmm..... meat pies. I am Aussie born and Aussie bred.

How did I find DU? I googled 'Conservative Idiots' and met the top ten.

I should miss it too, were I to leave.

114. O.K....that makes a little sense. Pfffftt hell no it don't, the French did

A question: Why do you hate America.

119. It makes sense if you were around American conservatives.

The anti-French bias is strong. Why do I hate America? I'm just a subversive at heart. I question everything.

I've been wasting my time trying to woo a girl, which turned out to be a waste.

I think I'm going to stay in cyber world for a while.

117. ZombieNixon almost popped a vein when I said (upthread)

that I had a life as well. After 17 years without chicks in a redneck part of the bush, I've moved into the city, and there are babes everywhere, I've having such fun! ;) :evilgrin: next to woo....
