I just want to mention that the Superbowl received no coverage here, and that one of the 3 news services I watch actually mentioned it.

Speaking of tits...

Ah, rugby. I covered some amateur finals for my newspaper years ago in San Diego. Much carnage, and one guy dropped dead of a heart attack in the middle of a match. Actually, nobody noticed for a while. }:xD My favorite rugby match was the one between the students and the Masters in Monty Python's "Meaning of Life."

Yes, "Give me a home, where the q-alas roam, and the wombats and the dingos do play..." I have three of them in my front yard. Damn, they shed skin like a lizard. There are hundreds of thousands of them in San Diego because some bright mind thought that a tree that grows well in a desert would make great railroad tie stock. Until they figured out that they warp horribly and rot when they are dried and then get wet. D'oh!

"Give me a home among the gum trees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two and a kangaroo.
Clothes line out the back
Verandah round the front
And an old Rocking chair!"
Bullamakanka.

I bet the bright spark didn't realize the best wood for railway sleepers comes from the ironbark tree, not your average eucalypt. I bet they also didn't realize gum trees love to burn.
