Sky News in Australia has confirmation from the Queensland Police Service that it was a stingray barb through the heart.

Breaking News THE Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, is dead. He was killed in a freak accident in Cairns, police sources said. It is understood he was killed by a sting-ray barb that went through his chest. He was swimming off the Low Isles at Port Douglas filming an underwater documentary and that's ...

Good god man, are you insane? That game broke my mind for years, I still don't know how the hell you finish it.

In any case, Zeldas, Faxanadu FTW, also definetely Marble Madness and Snake Rattle and Roll if I can get my hands on them.

I have a few plain black galabias that I picked up when I went to Egypt a couple years back, the most comfy stuff I own, really. Other than that, pajamas, or tracksuit pants and a t-shirt.

Just so you know, if it happens again, you can reset it easily by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Arrow Up.

Note that the weird, warmed over taste is not universal; I had McDonalds in Egypt last year, and they make the burger for you when you order it. They also had chicken Big Macs. In any case, the closest way to get a fresh burger from them is to order something specific; say, a McOz with no lettuce, a...

Where I come from, if you don't like a spider you fucking kill it . None of this 'ooh I trap it with a glass cup and bite my nails about what to do with it'. That's because the spiders in our country are insane things. You know, ten foot tall, fangs the size of small hatchbacks, venom flowing like ...

I just got a Suzuki Swift Z-Series (the one with the extra airbags and fog lights). It's pretty damned good for what it is; it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, it's got great fuel mileage, and you can fold the back seats down, put a big chest of drawers in the back and take it home ...

Not in Australia, which is the legel framework I know. In Australia, there are still tracks that are open to the public, that are private property, with no legislated speed limits. They're not exactly backyard operations, but I'm thinking places like Willowbank Raceway and Mt. Cotton Driving Centre...

I have a fairly unique perspective on this argument; my father (who I also work for as an administrative assistant), is one of the five Commissioners on the new Australian Fair Pay Commission, the body under the new IR reforms that sets the minimum and award wages. I, therefore, spend a lot of time ...

I'm told that I'm directly descended from St. Thomas More on my mother's side, and I'm definetely descended from Hugh O'Neill, who led the Irish resistance in the Nine Years War, and I'm also related to whoever the Baron O'Hagan is at the moment, because Thomas O'Hagan (1st Baron and a Lord Chancell...

I started reading young. Really young. I’m told that within about a month of me starting to speak, I was reading things like street signs. By the time I was three, I was reading the newspapers with my mother, with little assistance. By the time I was in first grade, I was reading better than my fath...

Amazing. And the schools have a legal right to dictate student behaviour outside of school property? From what I understand, as those rules are conditions of enrolment, they have a legally defensible position that they can withdraw enrolment at any time. If it were a public school, then no, but thi...

How can they even enforce that? :? With great difficulty, I presume. The only time I've ever heard about an afterparty happening was after a formal a few years back; some idiot blabbed to a teacher and about seventy pupils got suspended, and about five expelled. I'm sure I can find the Courier Mail...

I went to a high school called John Paul College south of Brisbane. They were total assholes when it came to formal time. Let me explain: - You HAD to go to the formal. If you weren't dying or had approval from the headmaster about a year in advance, you absolutely had to go. One of my friends was t...

I have no idea where my LoTR soundtracks are, but from memory the Isengard theme is in 5/4, being a marchy percussive thing and all.

EDIT\ and it is!

According to this site, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica and Kiss From A Rose are, among others. I thought NEM was in 6/8, actually. But this is a pretty big list, so have a look.

Howard apparently guaranteed that they weren't going to allow importing of bananas anyway, so it looks like we're in for a couple years of stupidly expensive produce. Fun.

I had to accompany a truckload of supplies up to Innisfail; it's absolutely destroyed. Words can't describe what's happened up there. Driving up it's acres and acres of banana trees that have been snapped or uprooted entirely; the smaller towns along the way look like Darwin did after Tracy in 74. A...

I've got an Audigy 2, and I use the digital output on it exclusively, to connect to my surround system. Means I don't need a dvd recorder or anything of the sort in my home theater system, and that I couldn't have done with onboard sound anywhere.

Uh, is there some sort of reason that the Quick Reply button image has been replaced with... I'm not really sure what it is, but it does look like someone's avatar, here's a link to an off site version . Didn't check any other templates, but i'd imagine only Blacksoul's buggered. Oh, and it's pretty...

There was an Age of Empires (2?) port for PS2, and it was compatible with a USB mouse and keyboard. I got it for my birthday one year, wasn't too bad.

http://files.meeper.org/songlist.jpg About 4-5000 high-rated songs that I actually like and listen to, every song is listened to and rated. I took some time a couple weeks ago to prune out the 800 dupes in there, and fix up the id3 tags. It could be bigger, but why be huge, when it can be really go...

From what I understand, they change the Stig sometimes depending on what he's doing. The Maserati MC-12 Stig was the owner, the Renault F-1 car was driven by the F-1 team driver. It wouldn't be THAT much of an imagination stretch to think that they got someone new for a ski-jump. Oh, and did the Dai...
