Some things are just wrong, so very wrong.

Besides, it would much rather enjoy a nice plump pig or baby seal.

Yes, but those cost money. Stray curs are free.
 
I would have love to have been the editor of the paper that first reported the story, I would have run the headline "DAMN" in big bold print.
 
I saw my brother - an amateur herpetologist - on New Year's Eve and asked him what he thought about this supposed giant snake. His one word response was "Bullsh!t."

It looks like he was right.

Good for a pet though, if you needed to dispose of a body, a chinsaw to half the meal, then a few weeks later all you have is bones, grind them up and mix it with your blood and bone mix, onto the lawn, and BAM, scott free.

Now you've got me worried! What do they make Scott's Turf Builder out of? :eek:

That's a bit over 14.6 metres long, and weighs in at 445.88 kilograms for those of us who have caught up with the 21st century. (That's right I went there.)

You,Sir,are a traitor!I'm proud that I continue to use traditional English/Imperial measurments.You should be ashamed!The metric system is French for God's sake.

No, no, no. The snake IS as big as originally reported:

1. There are just TOO MANY reports of a giant snake....... if just ONE of them is true, the snake is a world record.

2. Can you prove that there ISN'T a snake that big in the jungle?

3. Several stray dogs are missing from the village. There is no other explanation for their disappearance than a giant python.

4. Even if it isn't a python, it could be a giant snake of another species. Only people with closed minds won't admit that.

Scotts? If that's what you are implying, then.... well good idea I suppose, then they would stop whining about how the english keep bullying them, and we wouldn't need to listen to the sound of cats being shoved up other cats bums (more commonly known as bagpipes).

Aye, 'tis french, which on the surface seems like a drawback, but on the other hand, my yankee brethren, is not the statue of liberty french?

If George the Third & the rest of our British brethren had treated the American colonists as they should have,we'd have had no need of the French!!There is no love between America & France..we understand that they did what they did only to hurt the British.We hate them as much as the rest of you.....but we'll accept help where we can get it..when in need.

Oh please. Have you ever tried measuring anything with the Statue of Liberty?

I understand that, but surely you needed their help for the war, but as for the ol' girl standing up in sea just off new york, you could have refused. In fact the regular joe workers in new york had to donate money to pay for the stand it's on, coz no other bugger'd pay for it, that damn thing cost you money in the end, some present!

So that pressie you could have turned down, but you didn't. But though the wonderful metric system was invented by hairy-armpitted frogs, they were at least scientists, so that's OK in my book.

Why not? It's as arbituary as the rest of your nonsensical measurement regime.

"It's nigh on 16 liberties to get to the nearest Mcdonalds, and I just can't wait for my freedom fries" you'd say. See how it patriotises up the language good and proper. You can now use liberty 4 or 5 hundred times a day, instead of just the 300 you can manage now.
 
I vote that we liberty move this thread to liberty flamewar so we can teach this Aussie bastard a liberty thing or two about what happens when he besmirches our McDonaldses. Liberty.


(editted by Darwin's Goat to be more patriotic)
 
Did I besmirch McDonalds? I unreservedly apologise, I meant to besmirch you, your country, your government, your mother, and all the values you hold dear. I would just feel awful if I thought I had besmirched the good name of maccas.

Yes. Today in the NY Post they measured the Queen Mary II with the Statue of Liberty. They said that the Queen Mary II was taller than the Statue of Liberty. The ship, keel to funnel is 236.2 feet high. The statue is 151 feet high.
 
Gosh! 1.5 liberties tall! Big ship!

I wonder how much it weighs in hulk-hogans...

You mean like the British, for whom its weight would be listed as 70 stone, 3 pounds? :p

Pot calling the kettle black :p They are as bad as you, but at least they are being forced into metric by the EU. You guys were this close to going metric, but for some reason you were cruelly denied this great boon of civilisation. I understand even some of your signs where changed to metric before someone said it was anti-family or some such.
