To find such an article is almost depressing. Who would devote the time and effort to list more than 30 fictional sheep is beyond me. Some people have too much time on their hands. Ahem. It’s the sort of thing that someone would laught at. I wonder who wrote it and for what purpose.
Here is a list of the first ten:

Casserole, a sheep kept by the Kennedys in Australian soap opera Neighbours
As some of you may know, I am going to Japan to represent my country for a science thing. This morning I received a message. It was from the editor of the local newspaper which I believe is call the ‘Tribune’. They say they are interested in publishing an article in their paper about me, it would be interesting they say. Of course as soon as my mentor found out she encouraged the idea and says that she should be present at the interview to make sure that nothing incorrect is recorded. I’m not really sure that I want to accept or not. I not really sure that I want to appear in a newspaper that considers ‘quilting’ as front page news. Along with that I’m not really joyous about people literally screaming at me ‘oh my god you’re going to Japan!’, people are already pleading with me to smuggle them inside my suitcase. Another thing is that I am not photogenic, because of my lack of sleep, I have developed dark circles under my eyes (which I hope are temporary) and my hair is lank and lacking body, hence I look like some crazed vampire with a mischievous grin. But on the contrary I get to be in the newspaper, not the for the first time though, still the novelty factor is still there.
This week my Playstation 3 arrived in the mail…it is actually amazing for something i didn’t pay anything for (i won it in a competition). It came with one game ‘Heavenly Sword’ I haven’t used it used it yet. It doesn’t really interest me, the only thing I’ve been using it for is watching the mighty boosh and flight of the conchords and checking my emails. It is really amazing…not much of a console person myself…last time I used one was my bum xbox which has now been demoted to dvd duties.
If anyone can suggest anything else I should try out…games, applications and things…Leave a comment and I’ll try it out.
The Talent has for a long time wanted to do a post on the world famous, spectacular, leg-tingling …. THE MIGHTY BOOSH!
For those of you who do not know of The Mighty Boosh…you are seriously deprived and need to go indulge in the booshness. I know that the boosh is played in NZ, UK, possible AUS and I know that it is kick ass.
Vince Noir and Howard Moon go on wacked out and often shamanistic adventures with their mates Naboo and Bolo. It is a world of craziness and humour that should be a part of everybody’s lives…including yours…yes..YOU. Mighty Boosh MySpace Mighty Boosh Official Site
This weeks Random Wikipedia page of the week is…..The MA-1 Bomber Jacket.
“The MA-1 bomber jacket (also known as the MA-1 flight jacket) was first developed in the mid 1950s. The MA-1 and its predecessor, the B-15 Flight Jacket, were needed at that time because the emergence of the jet age created new requirements for pilot performance, safety and comfort.”
This jacket is really popular with the public today, both in its original design and also altered versions of the original. I really like them for their practicality and a little for their look. They look kick ass.
They were design for practicality of the pilot in the new emerging jets that were faster, colder and more streamlined. They are awesome.
Anyway this weeks Wikipedia Page of the Week is ….. Vollan Prison.
Unfortunately this Wikipedia page is only a stub so there is less for me to go on here. Right. It served as concerntration camp during the Second World War during the Nazi occupation of Norway. As you have probably figured out, yes, the prison is located in Norway. Tronheim, Norway. It was used prominently used for transit purposes, for people who were to be sent to be executed, work or extermination camps.
I studied the Second World War at school in History, it was a great topic to study and i wish i couldv’e learnt more. The school curriculums nowadays are very limiting as to what students can learn. It’s almost like the car industry, people are too lazy now to drive a manual car, they now use automatics. Lazy.
Teenagers in the UK have been using the innovative software of Google Earth to locate properties in their area that have backyard swimming pools. The reason for this? To find a place to PAR-TAY. You have to admit. It is a pretty clever idea, they are using their brains. In some instances party goers have been ordered to dress in costume and bring a bike or a car so they could get away quickly incase the police arrived.
“Teenagers in Britain are using internet satellite images to locate outdoor swimming and meet up with buddies for late-night dips and parties.
The craze, known as dipping, involves people using pictures from Google Earth to identify homes that have large outdoor pools, Britain’s Telegraph newspaper reports.”
There has been recent news about a secret pact made between teenage girls who are highs school students. The pact was to become pregnant. The pact was discovered after a few girls seemed disappointed that they failed their pregnancy test carried out by the school nurse.
“Officials in the US state of Massachusetts are investigating how 17 teenage girls from the same school have become pregnant.
The number is four times as high as the year before at Gloucester High School.
There are reports that some of the girls – none of whom is older than 16 – entered into a pact to have their babies together.
The girls and their families have so far made no comment. Officials are also investigating the ages of the fathers.
Some are believed to be in their twenties and could face the possibility of being charged with having sex with minors.”
This is completely fucked up. The report that I received on the night news on television reported that somehow the girls would obtain status in their small town by becoming pregnant. That somehow entering ‘motherhood’ would make them an important adult. This attitude is completely incorrect. In fact people would probably see you as a disgrace. As for the so called ’status’ that they would receive, what exactly are they trying to achieve. Are they now, trying to acquire the ’status’ to the likes of Jamie Lynn Spears. In my opinion if you have a role model such as her, you simply have remarkably less brain cells than the local chimpanzee in the zoo. Ridiculous.
This weeks Wikipedia page of the week is ….. Hollywood Zombies. I’ve been waiting for something like this. But unfortunately it is only a special set of trading cards. Much to my dismay. It portrays current American celebrities as zombies on the cards. As if we don’t see enough of there faces and other body parts on television the internet or on tabloids, no they are infecting the world or trading cards. What I would like to think is that one day out of the year thousands of people in Hollywood wake up as zombies an run around out of panic. Only in my mind. But in actual fact it will probably be little kiddies at school asking ‘Can I trade a Wailing Jennifer Aniston for a Lethal Angelina Jolie?’.
Another hilarious example of misinterpretation of English in foreign countries. Most of the example are those from food packaging and a could are street signs. One such example would be ‘Erektus‘ energy drink. I can never get enough of this stuff.
