Now that's commitment.

I can remember 'certain' students used to find a modicum of ribald hilarity in scrawling the traditional 'dick and balls' on a plastic high school chair, but these kids have completely taken it to a new level.

Tsk, Tsk - Busted by Google Earth - the shame...

    Thats funny,

    I saw something similar in a paddock from a plane landing in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago. I reckon it might have been bigger.

    Hey I got some modicum of ribald hilarity from it.

    I hope that the "certain student" wasnt me you were mentioning from high school, the only thing I ever wrote was " Leanne Baitup has hairy eyebrows" on the toilet door ( children are cruel).

How to rename an XML Node in C#

People often assume that the point of compulsory voting is to somehow educate people about politics - to force them to have an opinion. The reality has nothing to do with voters, and everything to do with ensuring good governance - By forcing politicians to care about every voter, rather than just the ones who can be bothered to go down to the poll both and vote, it means that politicians are consequently forced to address the needs of all the citizens in the country.
