That’s Not A Knife

January 10, 2007

Not guilty, due to being a famous actor:
ABORIGINAL actor David Gulpilil has been found not guilty of carrying an offensive weapon after a judge accepted that the machete he produced during an argument was used for cultural purposes.
If that’s not the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard, I don’t know what is.

I Give Up

December 19, 2006

It’s extremely sad that something that is a fairly standard promotion elsewhere in the world makes front-page news in Australia:

The man claims the pass mark is set too high.

I’m Cured!

February 2, 2004

The Israeli flag is back on his office door at ANU. Seems like their attempt at crushing dissent brought a little more heat than they could bear. Poor luvvies.

Anti-Fun Police Still Kicking
