My favourite of all the mad bastard Pirates, corsairts and Buccaneers.
Though having said that my knowledge of him is totally informed by Tim Powers book "On Stranger Tides".
Man I love Tim Powers...Argh!

I loathed Seinfeld.
...But I've just noticed that Firefox includes the correct spelling of the name.
No one else's names are accepted, but Seinfeld is.

Basket ball with trampolines is included, but Australian Rules Football isn't?
Bizarre.
The biggest fastest hardest longest lasting and craziest football code in the world.
The Dipper,a legendary player for Hawthorn, saw out one grand final with a punctured lung.
Trampolines indeed.

I would expand upon the Australian entry to include a few other items and explain a bit more about the things listed.
There's the DIM SIM, not to be confused with Dim Sum, as where Sum is a meal of steamed and fried treats the DIM SIM is an entirely bodged together Aussie take on a pork and pastry dumpling.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dim_sim
They are MONSTROUSLY bad for you but quite fabulous.
I'd recommend the ones from South Melbourne Market, just walk around the outside until you see a big queue...that's it. And get the fried one, not the steamed on.
Other than that is the Australian OBSESSION with the Meat pie.
They tend not to ellucidate upon what the meat is and in the past it has been discovered to be a mix of cow camel rabbit and pretty much road kill.
I prefer a couple of FOUR'n'TWENTY pies with a big slop of Dead 'Orse
Here is one of THE most Aussie views in the whole continent.
A FnT pie being eaten at the FOOTY (looks Like Saint Kilda to me).
Then there is the horror that is the CHIKO roll.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiko_roll
I can't stand the things but some folks swear by em, indeed live and die by them.
Other than that....Camel Jerky.
The thing about Oz is it's a nation made of folks from everywhere, who become true blue dinky di Aussies in a single generation, so most Aussies think of Nasi Goreng, Souvlaki, Thai red Curry, Dim Sum,Sushi,gyros, curry, burgers and sausages (snags) as being fundamentally Australian.
Which I really like about them.

iPod can be copyrighted, as it is a construct. the letter i and the word actually can't be as the are language. you couldn't append one to the other and use it though.
Much in the same way SONY learned in the 80s that they could copyright WALKMAN, but not WALK or MAN.
Personally I find the cult of apple repellent in their tactics and arrogance.
They throw their weight around with C&D orders banking on having deeper pockets than their opponents regardless of the validity of their case, which as they are not idiots they must be aware is bullshit.
Apple, all about innovation...yeah.

PETA.
The thing that annoys me most is that nearly all of their followers are blissfully unaware of how ludicrous the organisation is.
hundreds of thousands of perfectly reasonable dopey girls called Hillary encounter the name PETA, and allign themselves with it because they presume that the name is actually what the organisation is about.
And if I may bring down Godwin's law on myself...
Much in the same way that the NSADP, the Nazis, were National, and a Party, and indeed German but in no way socialist or for the workers.

Plenty of fat folks work their tails off every day. Doing the same jobs as everyone else.
There is no reason not to be working due to being fat.
The parents I am thinking of here as they've been on the scrounge for over a decade, while the daughters were 8 and 10 when this all started so are just a pair of big lasses nothing more.
It's the shamelessness with which they scrounge that gets me, their weight is not an issue it is a feeble excuse not a reason.
All of this must be viewed with one very important point in mind.
IT IS THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.

Should probably have added some detials to that.
Australia's Parliament is shallowly angled, and turfed over, the public can take a walk over the building to look down in on their elected officials.

Odd that the Parliament House Canberra Australia was not included.
The best thing about it is that there are windows on the roof where the people can look down on the politicians.
Symbolism is intentional if a little heavy handed.

No really table tennis types get very pissy about the name ping pong. I found this out by repeatedly using the P words in front of 2 Aussie Olympic Ping Pongers.
