Heh, somewhere around '92-'93 I heard someone refer to the "@" symbol as "atterate". It took me a few days before I finally realised he was saying "at a rate".
In fact, I find just a little surprising that the @ symbol was not used for a multiplication sign - considering that multiplication was implied by its original accounting use, and of course it existed on just about every typewriter being made when computers were new.
I live In Australia and that price tag is cheaper than the local housing, and no, I am not in Sydney or Melbourne.
I would buy this in a heart beat, get a white cat and a tank of sharks. Start a career as a super villain on the cheap.
I hear waterfront property in Brisbane is pretty cheap at the moment.
Just don't have as many children? Go against a reproduction instinct with hundreds of millions of years of evolution behind it? I'm not sure you truly understand the meaning of "easily"!
Their 2-yr old toddler died instantly, but the 7-month old baby survived. She was in a pool of blood before she was found, but was taken to the hospital. The bullet was removed from her chest, and she survived. Yay nature!
Hopefully the parents did not pass on their homicidal stupidity gene to the child. Keep an eye on the news out of Argentina around 20-30 years from now (hmm, Unix date rollover, anyone?)
Nah, it's definitely Macca. It's been a classic Aussie nickname for ages. It's right up there with Bazza, Davo, Snowy, Nugget, and Bluey. We had blokes called Macca long before some seppo with a scottish name started sellin' burgers.
There are no crocs in the Brisbane river. Bull sharks are common in waterways in Southeast Queensland. This could have been real, or not. I'm leaning towards not because it is just one person who though they saw something in some pretty messy waters.
Y'know, these floodwaters are absolutely chockers with decaying foodstuff that has not yet been properly disposed of. If you think about it, it's hardly surprising that estuarine sharks will swim upstream and hang around the source of the smell, particularly close to a Macca's and a butcher shop.
Truth be told though, I had to see this story before I thought about it.
Better yet, offer him four twenty dollar notes and ask him if he will give you a hundred dollar note for them. If he says yes, tell him you won't work for someone that doesn't understand money - and leave. If he says no, ask him why he expects you to make the equivalent deal for him - and leave.
Dolphins are/were quite content with their lives in the ocean being at the top of the food chain.
Hogwash. Have ONE of them say so. Let me also introduce you to Mr. Killer Whale and Mr. Great White. FAIL! Go take a flying jump in the ocean, misanthrope.
Messrs. Great White, Killer Whale and Dolphin do not prey on each other nor are they prey to any other species. They all occupy the same level in the food chain - the top.
How does the trait appear in the first place, within 100 generations?
That's not hard, mutations happen all the time. Most often they are benign, sometimes they are detrimental, occasionally they are advantageous. I suspect that "white" people are simply "black" people with faulty genes responsible for melanin production and/or distribution. In northern climes where sunlight is weaker, such a mutation would have proved to be an advantage in allowing more sunlight to penetrate the skin to produce vitamin D.
It has nothing to do with justice, fairness, or any intangible value you might care to place on it.
If that were truly the case, any judge in his right mind should summarily dismiss it before it gets anywhere near a courtroom. Alas, it shall never be. For it seems that in the United States of America, the law itself has nothing to do with justice, fairness or any intangible value you might care to place on it.

I'm going to snub these people whether I go to Kuwait or not. No way these folks are getting any of my hard earned (dinars? riyals?). Nuh-uhh!
Tools used by Incas for ritual human sacrifices.
Admittedly, we no longer sanctify them or use them for human sacrifice, but we still have and use knives.
The horse is known to have been been dead for some time; however its continued flogging is something you can investigate.
Unicorns? Can we please have at least one unicorn?
Sure. All you can eat!

Too soon?
37,500 is pretty decent to have fun and play with legos for a few years, rather than work at some soul crushing corporate job.
True, but there's a fair chance he won't get his $37,500 if he refers to them as legos.

Imminent? Perhaps you mean ominous?
You're quoting the Hebrew "Good Book". Not the Christian one...
The one includes the other.

Correction,

Maybe Mr. Pitchford doesn't know the difference between treason and trauma.

I'd sure hate to lose my equipment while getting my kit off.
That will happen if it's cold enough.

Not that I mind it much. As long as they remain conscientious objectors to war.
A carnivore?
Not likely, given their existence requires killing other creatures.
Hunting is not the same thing as war.

Didn't you got my emails?

Schadenfreude seems to fit pretty well, too.
However comforting your imaginary image may be, Marcika's is more realistic.
