    There is a guy who sits in the same office as me. When he sneezes I can 'taste' it for about a minute after. Don't know if he puts his hand over his mouth or not.

    Two Australian pollies also claim to have invented the internet. This was in the official parlementary record last year:

    "Senator IAN CAMPBELL (Western Australia- Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (7.13 p.m.)-by leave-I move:

    "That valedictory statements may continue beyond 7.20 p.m. and that the question for the adjournment be proposed at the conclusion of valedictory statements.
    "Just by way of support for that motion, to convince colleagues to vote for it, could I just say-and this is an outrageous abuse of my position, jumping the speakers list!-two things very briefly to my colleague Senator Alston, because a lot of it has been said. I did serve as Richard's parliamentary secretary for three years. It was, as Senator Coonan just said, a period of intense policy activity. It was quite remarkable to move out of Treasury, where I really thought we had, as Senator Coonan and Senator Kemp know, a phenomenal level of policy activity. To go to communications and IT at the time when Richard and I invented the Internet was, of course, a phenomenal period of activity. If you think back to that time, it was when the Internet was taking off. Broadband-a term that Richard and I invented!-occurred at that time..."
