You must be very bright - must be since you are down under. My wife, when she was younger, twice lived down under, outside of Brisbane if I remember correctly. I think she has told me she has been by/through Perth as well.

Rocker Lets F-Word Slip on 'Tonight Show'
LOS ANGELES - NBC hasn't received any calls about the F-word that Motley Crue rocker Vince Neil (news) dropped during the live New Year's Eve broadcast of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
"Happy f---ing New Year, Tommy!" Neil said to bandmate Tommy Lee (news) shortly after midnight Friday.
The remark was carried to viewers on the East Coast but was edited out before it was broadcast in the West, according to the entertainment trade paper Variety, which reported the incident on its Web site Monday night.
Leno normally tapes his show for broadcast later in the evening but does a live version for New Year's Eve. He had never a problem with profanities before, although the word has slipped out from time to time on other programs.
"The network has not received any calls regarding the incident," an NBC official, who asked not be identified, said Monday.
U2 lead singer Bono used the F-word at last year's Golden Globe Awards (news - web sites), which was also broadcast live by NBC. The network has said it will put this year's broadcast on a 10-second delay.
The Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites), in a ruling issued last March, said the word should never be used on over-the-air radio or television programs. FCC (news - web sites) officials said at the time they had received hundreds of complaints from Golden Globes viewers.
Networks have been more cautious about material they air after singer Janet Jackson (news)'s Super Bowl performance last year
Jackson was near the end of a Feb. 1 halftime duet with Justin Timberlake (news) when Timberlake snatched off part of her bustier on stage, revealing one of her breasts, which was covered with only a sun-shaped "nipple shield." Those involved blamed the exposure on a "wardrobe malfunction."

Anaheim Angels Adding Los Angeles to Name
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Baseball's Angels have a new name, and it's a mouthful: The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The switch, which will be challenged in court by the city of Anaheim, is intended to help the team market itself to more of Southern California, attract more advertising sponsors and broadcast revenue, the team said Monday.
"We believe that the appeal in the marketplace will be broader," Angels spokesman Tim Mead said.
The city of Anaheim will file a lawsuit to block the name change and hopes to obtain a temporary restraining order in place this week, city spokesman John Nicoletti said.
Anaheim officials believe the change violates the terms of the team's 33-year lease with the city.

Was Nemo a big movie down there? Since it was set there.
It was HUGE here. I liked the movie myself - I think we own it on DVD, but am not sure.

Is It A Stroke Or Heart Attack?
Things You Should Know (for yourself and others)
Is It a Stroke?
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately,
the lack of awareness spells disaster for the stroke victim. A stroke
victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the
symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say any bystander can recognize a
stroke by asking three simple questions:
* Ask the individual to smile.
* Ask him or her to raise both arms.
* Ask the person to speak a simple sentence.
If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately
and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. After discovering that a
group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm
weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to
learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the
American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread
use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the
stroke and prevent brain damage.
Is it A Heart Attack?
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10
people, you can bet that at least one life will be saved. Read this...
It could save your life!!
Let's say it's 6:15 P.M. and you're driving home (alone of course),
after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset, and
frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest
that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are
only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately
you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained
in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did
not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without
help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to
feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and
very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and
the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep
inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two
seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to
be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and
coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The
squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In
this way, heart att! ack victims can get to a hospital.
Tell as many people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

Cows, Constitution, & Ten Commandments
COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington. And they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.
CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we'r e not using it anymore.
TEN COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse! You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment!

I will seek and find you . . .
I shall take you to bed and have my way with you . . .
I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan.
I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop.
I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished with you.
And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days.
All my love,
The Flu
Now get your mind out of the gutter!!!

Vince Neil prepares to tie the knot
Vince Neil may have sparked the latest FCC controversy for his use of an expletive during Jay Leno's New Year's Eve broadcast - but he's still a family man at heart. The Mötley Crüe frontman is planning to marry his longtime girlfriend, Lia Gerardini, this Sunday in Las Vegas. According to the music industry publication Friday Morning Quarterback, rapper-turned-Reverend MC Hammer will preside over the proceedings. Perhaps in preparation for the their lifetime of domestic bliss, Neil and Gerardini were recently spotted getting tattoos together at a Vegas tattoo parlor.

"A beer, please, and one for the road."

taste funny to you?"
An invisible man married an invisible woman. The kids were nothing

The Viagra Generic Name?
Drugs usually have at least two names - a trade name and a generic name.
For example, the generic name for Tylenol is acetaminophen.
Aleve isknown as naproxen, Amoxil is amoxicillin, and Advil is ibuprofen.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra.
After a period of long consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced it has settled on the generic name of mycoxafloppin. Also considered were mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix, and of course ibepokin.
Pfizer Corp. is making an announcement today that Viagra will soon beavailable in liquid form and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer.
Pepsi's proposed ad campaign claims it will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.
Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink. This additive gives new meaning to the names of cocktails, highballs and just a good old fashioned stiff drink.
Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of Mount & Do.

JERRY Springer is a changed man. Again.
The clown prince of trash TV is deadly serious about his latest incarnation — radio talk show host.
Starting next Monday, Springer will launch a three-hour, daily talk show from Cincinnati, which he hopes to start rolling out nationwide as early as next month on about a dozen Clear Channel stations.
"At 60 years old, I get another profession — that's wonderful," Springer tells The Post. He will continue his notorious, knock-down-drag-out TV show by commuting to Chicago for tapings.
