POPSKangaroo genes 'close to humans' This explains why "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" was able to do so much good in the TV show. And I'd always thought it was crap that the human could understand the kangaroo.

POPSIs the Rudd Government now all talk? Sadly it looks increasingly that the great moves initially by the Rudd Government of Australia have become little more than "hot air". As if we need more Global warming! Sea Shepherd have been left to soldier on alone as the Japanese practise their butchering of the whales. Garrett, Australia's environment spokesman was full of noise prior to his election - now he is ominously quiet. The excuse is that Australia is using diplomatic channels - and we know how mind-numbingly slow progress there can be devoid of the public gaze! Comeon "Ozzies" stir the tripe out of your Government - it needs a rocket up its backside!

POPSGarrett to push point to whalers Saw a bit on how the Aussies do it. No inconvenience to the whales and the scientists get all they need. Use a weapon which fires a small container into the whale, pulls out easily with a bit of whale inside. At least it is a more positive attitude than just shooting the Japanese.

POPSThe Australian: I Come to Hail Bush, not Bury Him There will come a time when most Americans will miss President Bush. This sea change will be enabled when Dear Leader begins to reveal his weird nefarious radical visions revealed in Mein Kampt... er... Dreams of My Fathers.

POPSHunt on for Tassie bogans The term "Boonie" is used with reverence on the mainland. It refers to a great cricketer, who just happens to be short and squat (at the least), has a legendary moustache and possibly still holds the beer drinking record on a flight from Sydney to London.

POPSDesert danger forces Australian outback shutdown Been there, done that and had no desire to do it ever again. We reached Delhousie Hot Springs and the hot springs were refreshing. Next morning too hot. Bodies had cooled down, I suppose. Gold miners walked through this country as part of the 500 mile trip from the railhead to Arltunga, west of Alice Springs. Some didn't make it. Those going back due to illness either died or were fit by the time they reached the Oodnadatta "hospital", where a midwife waited.

POPSWarnings From World Leaders All Within 72 Hours “The problems will always be there and there’s going to be a crisis which will come along on the 21st, 22nd of January that we don’t even know about right now.” Powell told Meet the Press. Why are there so many high level politicians around the world in a seemingly coordinated effort warning of huge threats and developing crisis’ that may include a nuclear device? Are they preparing the masses for an event or series of events that have been in the making for some time? Is the public being prepared for new and forming enemies with a potential to plunge the entire world into war? ----end quote--- A number of notable public figures, to be sure; Biden, Rudd, Colin Powell, Madelaine Albright, Lord West and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner. Taken alone there are plenty of ready explanations, but within 72hrs.? Are there any more recent examples out there?

POPSDoes the Human Mind Have Potential “Super Powers”? So, if all of us have latent super-abilities, is it possible to activate them permanently, or at least periodically, without compromising normal brain functioning? Probably, say the Australian scientists who used transcranial magnetic stimulation to temporarily switch off the frontal temporal lobe of volunteers. Afterwards the subjects showed an immediate improvement in calendar calculating, naming the day of the week of any recent history event, and in their artistic abilities. Of course these were just the abilities tested. Scientists do not know all of the latent abilities that humans may possess. It has been predicted that more advanced neurological studies may someday discover how to allow “Regular” people to tap into the incredible latent powers of their own mind, and thereby unleashing some of the “superhuman” potential in all of us.
