You see the Poison Meat comment has made me have to tell my story.
My Neighbours have a noisy dog... this doesnt bother me though as I have 2 noisy kids - however on the other side of the fence they have a guy who lives alone - he is always rowing with my neighbours over the wall (the people next door are a real nice lesbian couple) and telling them that their kids (one of them by previous relationship) need a man in the house to show them whats right and wrong etc and would they shut that f*&king dog up before he kills it - the dogs continue to bark until one day the dogs stop - the moody old bloke has tried to kill them with Rat poison on some meat - when the women discover what is happening one of them gets in a row with him over the fence again - he threatens to kick her head in etc - anyway at some point he decides to climb over the fence and punches the butch woman next door - at this point I jumped over the wall and broke his nose - the moral of the story - dont get involved with disputes with your neighbours (I got 3 months and lost my job for assault (1st offence) he got nothing...) the dogs still bark
if you want an american to play a cop then surely you can look no further than Lou Diamond Phillips? - after all most americans are descendants from Europe anyway aren't they?
Would you rather loose a limb than you life? - I would.. I would rather somebody burnt my stump in a fire to stop the bleeding than die on the floor of blood loss - this thing sounds like it will save lives - something which can only be good surely? and I doubt it would be used as first choice treatment anyway - one question though (and I am sure having your leg or arm blown off is not painless) - but would it hurt when they used it on you?

writing as a father of 2 kids.. I must ask why you would continue to be a regular user of this site? if it is only poasted as a shock image does this make it ok?
disgusting
In the UK lots of homless people sell a magazine called the Big issue as a method of making some money.. I am not sure if this is something which is done in the states - but they buy the magazines at say 25 pence each and sell then for £1 allowing them to make 75p per magazine sold - this is done to help them get back up and running again. Some of these people though don't look like they need to be selling the magazines - there is a guy who sells this magazine near my office who is always decked out in the latest running shoes which much cost £100 - I can't help but think that we often help the wrong people.
I think this point was dispproved also - but to be fair they were using a Jelly head and not a real one! - the tongue stud sustained no damage at all when the lightning struck it (it actually hit the top of the had most of the time I belive)
I saw a Mythbusters show where they disproved the piercing thing.. they got some model heads (made of some kind of weird Jelly) one of which had its tongue pierced and they then caused a lightning strike to see which dummy got hit - they filmed it with high speed cameras which was cool - however - it was totally random which head got struck by the lightning- until they filled one of the heads with a load of nuts and bolts, at which point that got struck the most.
This may be slightly redundant - but I thought that it is worth a mention. When is was about 14 I was playing golf on my high school field. The weather turned for the worse and it started with the Thunder and Lightning. One of my less intelligent friends thought that it would be cool to stand on the roof of our school library with a golf club in his hand to see if he could get struck. It took us ages to persuade him to come down! - its something I have never forgotten - although a twisted part of me is still interested to see what would have happened to him should he have been struck!
I agree - some people tell me that my desk is always soo tidy that I must have no work to do.. however when I have finished with something I put it away.. and then get the next piece of work out.. they may think that I have no work to do because I am not always crawling around under my desk looking for that notepad which they took the project start up minutes in 3 weeks ago.. This is eye candy - nothing more - I dont need something like this to organise my work - I am organised already. This brings me to my pet hate! - people who store documents on their desktop then spend 20 minutes looking for them when you ask them for something! - this would just make these people worse!
I use unsecured Wireless spots all the time - AFAIK in the UK the person who is responsible for the wireless link can be held accountable for the activities of people using it which is why at most places you have to accept a policy before you connect (hotel lobbies and service stations etc) If the coffee shop staff wanted this guy to stop surfing using their link they should have secured it - or over the course of the 3 months at least have the balls to go outside at tell the guy to get lost. My next door neighbour came round about 3 months ago and asked me if I was surfing using his link.. he seemed a bit pissed about it at the time - when I told him I used to but his bandwidth sucked so I bought my own wireless router to let me surf in my lounge instead of using his... he was more pissed off than before.

and Russel Crowe is from New Zealand... which makes your entire point about Australia a nil as neither are from Australia - well done.

Its funny.. in the UK Blue's Clues is the worsts childrens TV show ever to make it to air - it involves a manic guy following round a blue blob (meant to be a dog called Blue) with terrible cartoon items such as a notepad.. http://images.tvnz.co.nz/tvnz_images/tv2/kids/blue s_clues/bluesclues_d.jpg
