Thank god for that. What clever people they must be. |

Not true. The differential gear was used by James Watt. |
I could swear I've seen reconstructions of a Tang dynasty chariot that had an always-north pointing arm. It was driven by a primitive but complicated differential gear train. |

So basically Aussies are good at telling porkies and saying 'G'day mate' and drinking beer and having bbq's. Big woo hoo!!
I mean it comes to something when I hear an American friend of mine say to me (while a bunch of Aussies are drinking at the next table): 'Shiit, I can't stand these people with their whining accents...'.
Australians - you are the new yanks. You are embarrassing to be with.
HAHAHAHA!!! |

Lets rumble!
I'm thinking a bit of greco-roman wrestling outside HongKou Stadium sometime next week will settle this. Preferably just before one of the Woman's World Cup games. I'm going to beat your arse down!
PS - bring the baby oil. |
