    Slightly of different... and off topic..

    When was the Federation of Australia, KC? When was the Australian government formed? When did Australia become a Nation??

    No "Googleing".

    Don't know?
    My oh my !! :rolleyes: Do we need a History lesson here?


    Don't be surpised Australians are not absolulty swilling with pride for America this weekend. Don't be suprised if they don't know this weekend is special for you guys. Don't "My Oh My !!" us. We don't live there. We are not Americans. We are not supposed to know... it's not our country.

    No offence, but the rest of the world doesnt really need a history lesson on your country. And like I said, don't be suprised if they don't know.

    My oh my! :D



    Happy Birthday Yankyland, and have a good weekend! :D

    Australia became a nation after they defeated the Mutant Marsupial Alien Overlords of Triton 5 in 1873 by using kerosene soaked koalas as catapult ammo. Come on, everybody knows that :D :p

    Actually Greg, technically people nowadays are supposed to know about the Fourth of July. It's in almost every primary/lower secondary school curriculum, to my knowledge. Not to mention the countless references to 4/7 (or 7/4) on TV, in the movies etc..I understand what you're saying, and in fact I agree that we don't need the history lesson, because we're already supposed to know ^_^. But meh, never really cared for US holidays, but still, happy Independance Day.
