Once you meet some Australians it will all become clear: they consider themselves to be honorary American citizens, and their country is actually the United States of Australia. Seriously, everything about Aussie society and culture is consciously imitating that of the U.S.A. - which is pretty sad, I'm sure you'll agree.
Either you are just trying to be funny, or you have obtained your "facts" from some strange source.
I'm an Australian, and I have NEVER thought of myself in the way you mention; honorary or otherwise. The official title for our nation is the Commonwealth of Australia. Mainstream sports include Cricket, Australian Rules Football, Rugby League, and Rugby Union. Australian traffic has always driven on the Left. Our navy is named the Royal Australian Navy, and our air force is named the Royal Australian Air Force. We have a Governor General and individual state Governors as representatives of of the Australian monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II).
"Canada, Australia and New Zealand are clearly not controlled by the United Kingdom. The monarch of these countries (Elizabeth II) is in law Queen of Canada, Queen of Australia, Queen of New Zealand and only acts on the advice of the ministers in each country and is in no way influenced by the British government."
Oh yes! That state of affairs is so clearly 'imitating that of the U.S.A'.
People have been calling software applications "apps" for years before the iphone existed. My bosses in the mid 90's said to make sure all of their apps were on the new computer. These were not geeky people by any means. I am sure people called software "apps" before that.
Indeed. The category "Applications" was often shortened to "Apps".

Anybody find the image confusing-- modern building tools / structures with primitives in the foreground?
Well, that's in keeping with the anachronism-style of story telling present in the Bible. Y'know, like camel trains (Gen. 37:25) earlier than the domestication of camels, and walled cities (Jos. 6:20) in a period when communities lived in simple pastoral enclaves.
If they want to depict the ocean transport of a multitude of livestock without depicting the animals as dead, rotting, carcasses -- they really should equip their 'Ark' to the standard of livestock-carrier MV Becrux: http://wn.com/Livestock_Transport_Take_a_ship_tour_onboard_MV_Becrux
. . with its automatic feeding system, 84 turbo-ventilators, and desalination plant capable of producing 600,00 litres of drinking water-per-day.
"We did nothing when they took our pencils away from us. We did nothing, when they disarmed us by taking our spoons away from us. After that, they took away our bananas."
Obviously it was really the very last DC-8 like spacecraft hiding above that Flight 808, with some poor stealth capability. It was arriving late because there was a fight on-board when the captives woke-up and tried to gain control of Xenu's last transport. Next we'll be hearing that some one's overheard them saying "Right! Let's go." with their cellphones.
Since they failed in their attempt, we'll likely next hear that someone's seen contrails going down into Mount St Helens, or Yellowstone Park.
its far-far worse to have to balance one's ten-year-old Power Macintosh G4/500 DP (Gigabit Ethernet) tower on one's lap; all 30.0 lbs of it with its curvy front base "handle" poking into one's crotch.
With its weight, and the cumbersome shape, the heat passing out through its base is the least of one's worries. Now then, that's why (when a desk is in use) a desktop configuration does have an advantage.
> > "If you carried a gun you would be safer, silly Australians surrendering your right to defend themselves."
Having to carry a gun for defense is only a requirement in a lawless society; as is the case in Somalia or similar places. When it comes to Australian wildlife all one needs is venom-proof clothing, the sense not to swim with crocodiles, or a knife about which one can say: 'This is a knife!'
While before that, it was the gi-normous Boombox being carried on one shoulder where it could even block the listener's vision to one side. First Officers from time-traveling starships could be relied on to deal with these types if they continued using such noxious devices on-board a bus.
It would help if they didn't drive on the wrong side of the road here... (recent immigrant)
Why, are you one of those followers of Napoleon Bonaparte? He was Left Handed, and mandating driving on the right side of the road. Right-handed men carrying arms passed to the left of approaching men bearing arms.
As any automobile-driving knight knows; you have to sit on the RH front seat to wield your broadsword expertly out through the car window.
In real life, ship the sea-lanes off Somalia and you don't just risk some money (or virtual currency); you risk your own LIFE! A real-time pirate can take your life, and rape your wife.
If your lucks fully down the plumbing he may just rape YOU (as well) before he takes your life!
Its not just $1200 you'd have lost, but your intestinal fortitude, and your continuing existence!

As an American I don't pretend to understand the fine points of the Australian political system. From my viewpoint many time zones away, however, those politicians do seem hell-bent on returning Australian citizens to their historic status as Crown convicts banished to Botany Bay on trumped up charges in a guilty-until-proven-innocent legal system. I'm damned glad I'm not living there.
No! Trespassers in these radiation-scared plains (and terminally lost US Postmen) had better beware the ghost of Steve Irwin, and random crazed mutant land crocodiles: http://home.people.net.au/~vortexau/Pics/postal4.jpg
We need to find a way to fit nuclear powered engines onto planes if we are to make a leap into next chapter of aviation.
Yeah - sure, because its very likely that many pilots want to sit behind a windshield made of 6-inch–thick acrylic glass, while sitting inside a massive 11 ton structure lined with lead, and rubber; as did the pilots in the NB-36H.
Perhaps this explains the "UFO" sightings by aviation crew and some astronauts? I would suspect that as one increases their altitude, they increase their odds of experiencing such an occurrence: with a statistical spike as one approaches/escapes the earth's atmosphere. As such this could even cause a "mass hallucination".
. ..
But that doesn't explain, in any way at all, the Nordic-type EBEs looking back through the portholes, and miming: "Please stop exploding those nasty, contaminating, nuclear devices on your planet! They are affecting our transmission of Magnetic Hallucinations direct to your cranial stimulus centers, and blocking our essential message!"
It's clearly a bogus theory. In my experience, ball lightening is usually caused by filling it up with helium.
I'd thought that Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xeon, and Radon is used in a Geissler device (whether globular or tubular, in shape) rather than Helium?
If we can perceive lighting directly by magnetic-stimulation of the brain, rather than through perceiving reflected illumination from surrounding objects . . . . . well, that just means we're going to be bumping into all those objects that don't moderate the magnetic-stimulation in any way at all!?!?
