Once a year, the city would fill the giant Melbun Cup with alcohol and everyone would get drunk.

Violence was celebrated in their winter by kicking each other in the balls in a game called "Footy".

There was also the Boxing Day Test, where residents punched visitors in a test of fighting prowess. This would get out of hand, with Melbun reduced to ashes, which the residents would complain about in their "whine bars".

Driving around the suburb today and I remember when the roads used to be spacious. But now the streets are virtually single lane because of all the big cars parked along the side streets. Not in the double garages or driveways of their homes.

And then waiting for drivers today try to maneuver their big cars in a multistorey carpark...

The consequences of the big car owner's decision to buy them need to be forced back on to them, not everybody else.

I'm pleased to announce that the Colony Mission to Mars has been a resounding success.

Facing trouble at home, our wealthiest citizens decided to find a new home more conducive to their philosophies. We all wished them every success and worked hard to help them realise their dreams.

Three months ago they launched their journey to the Red Planet.

The new crater on the Martian surface is a fitting memorial to their efforts.

Ever noticed how a rise in the number of cat photos on the internet has corresponded with a rise in authoritarianism and fascism?

It is not a coincidence.

If we are talking about allowing US nationals into Australia as refugees I hope that we have a program to culturally acclimatise them first.

BROTHERS! We need to DEFEMINIZE our ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

And GET RID of that LEFTIST HIPPY EARTH NONSENSE while we are at it.

So apparently the rings of Saturn were formed from an old moon that was destroyed. How was it destroyed? I think the answer is obvious. Mimas is supposedly another Saturnian moon, but I think we can all see what it really is.

So the real question is, why did they abandon the Death Star a long time ago?

Perhaps there really was a reactor leak in cell block 1138...

The Malaysian scientists who released the dinosaurs were motivated more by national pride than by good sense. Malaysia may have been awarded the Number 1 Dinosaur Destination in South-East Asia from the World Paleontology Association, but the saurians devastated the palm oil plantations and devoured the citizens.

On the other hand, dinosaur meat tastes really good as satay.

Sometimes we like to explore the fast food chains overseas, just to see the differences. I've had better and worse depending on the country (KFC in Taiwan is excellent, McD in Denmark is terrible).

Kek Lok Si

While I'm watching the washing go round and round at the laundromat, let me write some more about what I've been up to. I have memories of climbing many steps past lots of little stalls on my way up to the Buddhist temple of Kek Lok Si, overlooking Penang, 30 years ago during my first visit here. The steps seem to be gone now, replaced by a couple of funiculars with a buggy ride in between.
