He would just bomb everyone with sheep. How many megatons of energy are released when millions of sheep drop from orbit? :roll:
I dunno, but I have seen plans to swamp the Chinese army with massive sheep wave attacks.

In Australia, there are 10 times as many sheep as people, making for about 230 million sheep. Assuming a 50kg mass for each one, and a 15km/sec impact speed, each sheep should release 5.625 gigajoules of energy. multiply that by 230 million, and you get 1.293e18 joules, or about a quarter of a gigaton. Did I do any math wrong?
Bah, you fool, Sheep are aland attack anmal for that sort of thing you need to get all the damn sheila's to turn on their blow dryiers at onece and complain to the hubbie.

What happens if the sheepfarmers get some massive conglomerate to support them, and then revolt? They could level Sydney!

Hmm...ah, yes! That's the one that goes:

Aussie: You fuck sheep.
Kiwi: No, you fuck sheep.
Aussie: No, you fuck sheep.
Kiwi: No, you...

And so on.

Sure they are the same, just like Japan and Korea are the same, or England and France are the same or England and Scotland.
How ever, it is only in Aussie vs NZ that cabinet ministers from either nation can call each other mongrels and other expletives, in public, and getaway with it.

Our judges are accountable to the people, though. I have problems with some aspects of our system, but not this one.

As things are in NZ a judge is acountable to the law and it is felt, rightly I feel, that to have the judiciary elected would be to open it up to the influence of fear and favour.
Politcians here make law, and judges interpret the law. If the public are dissatisfied then the law can be amended or repealed, by the elected politians.
