Sorry, we shouldn't be making fun of our Australian friends.
I hear they have it really bad. For instance, their C
compilers require that you end each C statement not with
a mere semicolon, but with the string, "HEAVE AWAY, HAUL AWAY."
That would really suck!

ITYM "HEAVE AWAY, HAUL AWAY.\0"!
Gotta terminate those strings! Even BEABLE VAN POLASM knows to
terminate strings with a null character when writing code in ANSI C,
which was invented by the

SPEAKING of standards,
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html
says:
-> In some countries (e.g., Germany) even many brands of toilet paper
-> have format A6.
Those methodical Germans! A6 toilet paper! I imagine that if you
replaced their A6 toilet paper with some B7 toilet paper or C6
toilet paper, they would be UPSET all day!
"Ach Mein Fuehrer! I had to wipen mein arse with NON-STANDARD size
Toilettenpapier this morgen!"
"Gott in HIMMEL! Let's ANNEX THE SUDETENLAND and INVADE POLAND!"

My copy of the second volume of Charles Lyell's "Principles of
Geology" has a note inside the front cover proclaiming its conformance to
ANSI Z39.48-1984, Permanance of Paper for Printed Library
Materials. Now, Lyell's main acheivement, besides thinking of about half
the ideas Charles Darwin took credit for, was proving the age of the earth
was to be measured in geologic eras instead of human or Biblical
timescales. In this vein, perhaps it would be most appropriate for this
volume to include:
- ANSI Standard on deterioration of C13 isotopes;
- ANSI Standard for Continental drift, with substandards for the inertia
and supplementary momentum incurred from the force of falling penguins;
- Standards for permanance of rocks under erosion and transmutation of
species;
- Standards brightly colored and fluttering in the breeze as the
war-horns trumpet over the May morning hills;
etc.

Yeah, those nutty Americans. One week we can't find a country
on a map. Next week, we drop in a bunch of people for a season
of Survivor, and from then on we think's it's an island.

You probably don't get the same interviews in USAia that they show
in Austria. The producer of Survivor was on TeeVee and said:
'A lot of you Aussies will watch the show and think "That's not
the real outback" and I say "Sure, it's not because the real
outback would be too tough. But you've gotta admit, the conditions
on the show are still pretty damn tough!"'. So watch out for fake
rocks.

Apparently fake rocks are still pretty heavy 'n
