What a Dump!


Meanwhile, overheard at a somewhat lacklustre Roman orgy near you - The man is exclaiming in Latin "Quid gurgustium" ("What a dump"), to which the woman appears to be concurring by responding "Me transmitte sursum Caledoni" ("Beam me up, Scotty").

Desalination



In God We Trust


At the time, the entire world appeared to be holding its breath, in eager anticipation of the outcome of  America's 2008 election.

Recycled Sewage


Sydney recently got it's own desalination plant. Before construction commenced, the debate raged in  Parliament and within the community as to whether the best way to solve Sydney's water shortage problems was via desalination or recycled sewage. I was always in favour of the former option myself. I mean, Australia is an island, surrounded by great oceans on all sides. The City of Sydney sits upon the very shores of the vastness of the South Pacific Ocean. It seemed logical to me that we should go down the desalination route. And besides, the prospect of drinking recycled sewage never did much appeal to me. Yetch!

Cops are Tops!


I found myself behind a police car at traffic lights the other day, when I noticed a "Cops are Tops" sticker adhered to the back bumper. "Hmm," I thought to myself, "Self praise is definitely no recommendation."

Homophobic Peter Jensen


Peter Jensen is the bitter, twisted, bigoted Anglican Archbishop of Sydney. Whether or not he could ever be defined as a Christian, however, is open to dispute. Certainly, his hatefulness would appear to know no bounds.

Jesus Never Mentioned It


Those who have been following this blog will know that Peter Jensen is the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney. As well as being an outspoken homophobe, he is also opposed to the consecration of female bishops and disapproves of stem cell research. I have no doubt that the decidedly homophobic St Paul would approve of the Archbishop's theology, but I'm not so sure that Jesus would.
