This is gutless and pathetic.
This allows for a sped-up, electronic version that is over in 30 seconds.

Have we heard from Australian UPers? I hope everyone survived the tsunami.
Wait what
I guess the threat was more to NZ. Map says chill out.

I have been reading Bill Brysonâs book about Australia and it basically confirms my suspicions that Australia is a terrifying and deadly place that you should avoid at all cost.

Thereâs a lot of readers on Marginal Revolution (Tyler Cowenâs blog) that are like this.
Like Cowen himself, theyâre constantly battling straw-men of the left and minimizing anything Trumpworld does.
Larry Flynt has been dead all day and I donât hear a peep about it from you people? Am disappoint.

In 1964 a âclairvoyantâ made a prediction that Adelaide would be hit by a tsunami, because of Godâs wrath at South Australia leading the country in gay rights reform. This was, uh, not very likely for a host of reasons, chief among them the geological stability of the surrounding area and the fact that Adelaide is located up in a gulf, protecting it from any freak tsunamis out of the Southern Ocean. At the time the tsunami was supposed to hit, then-Premier Don Dunstan (who was himself a gay man, although not openly) went and had a beer on the balcony of the Pier Hotel, overlooking Glenelg Beach, which was supposedly going to get obliterated.
Yeah that is a cool story, they were eaten to extinction on Lord Howe Island by introduced rats. The last sighting was in 1920. There were persistent sightings (by rock climbers) of dead insects matching the description on nearby Ballâs Pyramid, which had remained free of invasive species. See if you can spot why.
Nobody was able to find live specimens until an intrepid group went searching there at night, the insect being nocturnal. There they found 24 individuals living under a single bush. There are now thousands of individuals in captivity, and there are plans to reintroduce them to Lord Howe Island pending a rat eradication program which is now underway.
