It seems that ex Aussie PM Paul Keating stands no chance of winning the Eurovision song contest.
The likelihood is not much improved if the ex Labor party leader were to team up with recently ousted Liberal leader and recent Aussie PM, John Howard.

In an accident somewhat similar to shooting yourself in the foot comes the tale of the fumbling security guard who downed his own plane. Lucky it was not in the air at the time…
Top UN ambassadors were forced to hitch a bus ride from Democratic Republic of Congo to Rwanda after a security guard accidentally shot a hole in their plane, a UN spokesman said.
The Security Council ambassadors had been visiting violent eastern Congo during a trip to promote peacekeeping operations and other efforts to end some of the most intractable conflicts in Africa.
A challenger to the popular Microsoft Office program is going to be renamed after threats of legal action from Microsoft.
The recently launched product (read about it here), which provides an alternative to all the inclusions of the Microsoft office suit and sells for hundreds of dollars cheaper has been targeted as trying to pass itself off as Office.
This has led to a rethink on the name and the packaging with the product now to be called FukOffice.
I have 2 shark jaws on my wall, each as fearsome as this. They came from a 6′ and 9′ bronze whaler shark, one I cut from the shark’s head 35 years ago. I still remember how hard it was to do ….
But of course I was not a fucking stupid as this lad. I put them somewhere were they would not be subject to nocturnal interactions. They are safe on my office wall, looking at me now. Beautiful things. Not grotesquely set in kitsch some fiberglass shell of a head.
Of course, being mostly on the wall did not stop one girl getting her head stuck in one when my daughter took it for show and tell at school. All ended well, the jaw was undamaged and she only needed three band aids and some antiseptic wipes.

Pensioners in Melbourne Australia, stripped in public yesterday in protest at the low level of the base pension.
The antic caused traffic mayhem as drivers craned their necks to see the older Aussies prancing about in their undergarments.
Organiser of the protest, Mrs Mavis Simms, said this was the only way she knew to attract the government’s attention.
Albert Einstein was a pretty smart bloke I think we all agree, so his idea on God must be pretty smart a well, especially when he described belief in God as “childish superstition” and said Jews were not the chosen people.
Pointing to the real reason why the average US President is weak Einstein wrote:
One has to wonder about the things that go one in the minds of US college students - those who are going on to be that country’s leaders….
The Badger Herald (who thought up THAT name for a paper!) reports on one sick hazing prank…
One eye witness speaking on condition of anonymity, who is a member of the UW Greek community but not associated with Sigma Phi Epsilon, said the bucket contained a “slurry of vomit (and) urine with large brown chunks that could have been feces” and was dumped on three members’ heads. The source said he was standing across the street with an unobstructed view and could smell the contents of the bucket that made two of the students vomit. [Read more →]
I loved that bok 1001 uses for a dead cat - now here is number 102 - fill up as many freezers with them as possible….
SACRAMENTO – Police arrested a 47-year-old man Saturday morning after finding about 300 dead cats stuffed into freezers in his house.
Thirty other cats were found alive and were removed from the south Sacramento home by city animal control workers.
No amount of dieting will alter the number of fat-hoarding cells in our bodies, research has suggested.
Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden say that the number is set during adolescence and stays the same, regardless of obesity later in life.
The journal Nature reports how they tested patients who lost huge amounts of weight, and found little change in fat cell numbers.
