Re: Way OT: A question for our Aussie friends...

A good way to fill in time is to browse through the thousands of old
messages, all carefully archived by our efficient moderators.
On reading the original message number 22, I would remind the writer
that we in Australia are not "Down Under" and that such a concept
arouses in us some considerable resentment.
In fact we are the ones at the top of the world, people in Washington
DC in particularly being "upside down" as judged by the number of
jokes on the web about a certain Bush that grows there. I can prove
this because as I sit at my computer my head is pointing upwards
towards the sky. I also regularly sing that old Carpenters song "On
the top of the world".
