At least you will never starve on Sand Island...because of all the sand which is there.

And my wife and kids think I make dumb jokes. I am a novice compared to your effort here.

You need a warning at the top for Texans! 😉

Does anyone know when 'Stralia graduated from sub-continent to continent?

Texans can relax, if Alaska was divided into two states, Texas would become the third largest state in the US.

Sorry, Iceland is the largest island.

Kodiak is second



I had a brain fart, what else can I say.
(Iceland is green and Greenland is ice.)

And I have noticed you sometimes throw in a comment in favor of or supporting the other side of each fuss. Trying to keep it going to avoid boredom or just a mean little kid at heart?

May I suggest a good book or even watch movies on netflix etc.
OR:
Since this is a photo forum you might try table top studio macro photography to stay away from the cold and white stuff.

Me, I have to go and update a train simulator program for our special needs son and then do the taxes (Gentle suggestion from the wife.)

Oh, no, I NEVER try to keep it going. Just stifle the necessary.
Never propagate erroneous information.

You'd like me to leave?
Fat chance......
So many interesting people here.....

But I do have only one "aww-shit" left.

#12 is the #1 reason I don't go to Australia.


As for our dangerous "things", spiders jelly fish, etc, etc, most of these things I've never seen in my life (outside a museum or zoo)..people won't visit here because they are afraid of them but I can assure you, there is absolutely no need to be scared. And I've spent a lot of time in the bush doing photography.
