Resolved Question: Australian Lizards don't like sand?
Bearded Dragons are from the Australian deserts right? Which are full of sand?
So, how come you can't use it as a substrate for a bearded dragon?
It seems really odd to me, or maybe I'm just missing something? I know impaction is a danger, but a herp specialist vet, and a 12yr experience herp rescuer both recommended sand.
Is it that babies can't have sand? Or all ages?
Curious!
(I've had my beardies on sand for quite a while now, and their feces are totally normal, and they have a good appetite).

moreResolved Question: Hold on to your boomerang?
The Australian Poetry Competition had come down to two finalists; A
university graduate and an old aborigine.
They were given a word, and then allowed two minutes to study the word
and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word they were
given was ' TIMBUKTU '.
First to recite his poem was the university graduate.
He stepped to the microphone and said:
Slowly across the desert sand,
Trekked a lonely caravan
Men on camels two by two
Destination - Timbuktu .
The crowd went crazy! No way could the old Aborigine top that, they thought.
The old aborigine calmly made his way to the microphone and recited;
Me and Tim a huntin' went
Met three whores in a pop up tent
They were three, and we were two
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu .
The aboriginal won.

moreResolved Question: Shipwrecked---long this one, stay with it. Made me laugh.?
On a chain of beautiful deserted islands in the middle of South Pacific, the following people are stranded:
Two Italian men and one Italian woman.
Two French men and one French woman.
Two German men and one German woman.
Two Greek men and one Greek woman.
Two British men and one British woman.
Two Bulgarian men and one Bulgarian woman.
Two Japanese men and one Japanese woman.
Two Chinese men and one Chinese woman.
Two Irish men and one Irish woman.
Two American men and one American woman.
Two Australian men and one Sheila.
One month later, on these absolutely stunning deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following things occurred:
One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.
The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a ménage a tois.
The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of alternating visits with the German woman.
The two Greek men are sleeping together and the Greek woman is cooking and cleaning for them.
The two British men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the British woman.
The two Bulgarian men took one look at the Bulgarian woman and started swimming to another island.
The two Japanese have faxed Tokyo and are awaiting instructions.
The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy, liquor store, restaurant, and laundry, and have got the woman pregnant in order to supply more employees for their stores.
The two Irish men divided the island into north and south and set up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets somewhat foggy after a few pints of coconut whisky. However, they're satisfied because the British aren't having any fun.
The two American men are contemplating suicide because the American woman will not shut up and complains relentlessly about her body, the true nature of feminism, what the sun is doing to her skin, how she can do anything they can do, the necessity of fulfilment, the equal division of household chores, how sand and palm trees make her look fat, how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do, and how her relationship with her mother is the root cause of all her problems, and why didn't they bring a damn cell phone so they could call 911 and get them all rescued off this forsaken deserted island in the middle of freaking nowhere so she can get her nails done and go shopping.
The two Aussies?
Oh they're still arguing about how the English beat them in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals!!!
moreResolved Question: Difference bewteen a uk,australian and a american cop...funny?
QUESTION:
How do you tell the difference between a UK Police Officer, an Australian Police Officer and an American Police Officer?
ANSWER:
Pose the following question -
You're down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.
Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges.
You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUSTRALIAN OFFICERS Answer:
BANG!

AMERICAN OFFICERS Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Daughter: "Nice grouping dad, were those the Winchester Silver Tips?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UK Police Officer answer:
Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he would be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-9-9?
Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behaviour.
If I raise my gun and he turns and runs away, Do I get blamed when he falls over running away, knocks his head and kills himself?
If I shoot him, and lose the court case does he have the opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and will I lose my family home?
moreResolved Question: NHS is terminally faulty & crap- why can't the UK admit it?
The Australians can critique their far superior Medicare system- why not the mincing feel-gooder UK?
"IT IS a damning indictment of what the NSW public thinks of its health system - a deserted waiting room at Royal North Shore Hospital's emergency department."
"Only a week ago the same waiting room was crawling with people and staff so busy they were unable to attend to a woman who miscarried in a toilet."
It reads like yet another day in the life of the NHS- underfunded, over-managed, over-worked, under-staffed and of course cheap 3rd rate, 3rd world migrant doctors with barely passable communication skills.
But hey, 3rd world doctors don't whinge about crap wages like a UK doctor.
Labour-scum Health Minister Reba Meagher today admitted relations between emergency doctors and the NSW Health Department have broken down.
New South Wales is run by a Labour government.
Labour= Same smell, same shite and both slimy feel-goods who leave the same nasty after-taste.Read about the lady who had to miscarry in a toilet and many other atypical NHS-type horrs here:
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22521843-5001021,00.html
Medicare sucks, whereas NHS is just shite-
Wake up UK- we're not getting our money's worth.Read about the lady who had to miscarry in a toilet and many other atypical NHS-type horrs here:
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22521843-5001021,00.html
Medicare sucks, whereas NHS is just shite-
Wake up UK- we're not getting our money's worth.I live in the uK- but have lived in Australia and also SE Asia.
Sad fact is NHS and UK in general is really crap compared to other nations and it makes me extremely upset my tax money subsidises mediocracy and waste.
I am very fortunate to be able to afford private- BUT- I don't see why our NHS cannot be as good as the Germans' system and force those who can afford it and new-comers into private and remove a lot of unnecesary burden.
Let me fix it- you won't find a single manager not headless.

Here at Yahoo answers itself, I encountered bigots yesterday who should better mind their own business. I'm here in Australia and with a Chinese girlfriend and all my fellow Indian partners have simply deserted me because they strongly disagree with my selection. They told me "if you wanted to date outside your race, at least you should have gone for a White, Australian girl."

moreResolved Question: Have you never seen?
An Australian was showing an American around his country. First he showed him Kosciusko mountain. The American responded disdainfully: "In America, the mountains ar MUCH bigger!"
The Australian then showed him the Great Victoria Desert. The American again: "In America, the deserts are MUCH bigger!"
The Australian, getting a little irritated, then showed him the Q1 Tower. And again the American responded: "In America, the Towers are MUCH bigger!"
By now the Australian was quite bored with the American. Then the American saw a Kangaroo hopping, and shouted: "What on Earth is THAT?!?!" The Australian calmly asked: "Why, have you never seen a mouse before?"Kosciuszco is Australia's highest mountain: 2229 metres high
The Great Victoria is the largest Australian desert. Its size is 424,400 km2 (163,900 miles2) according to most sources
Q1 Tower: 323 meters high, is the tallest residential tower in the world
