What do you want to know the price of a ticket to Sydney?

Cut out the middle man and come straight to Melbourne. Direct flights leave from LA daily.

These cows fell out one or two at a time over a kilometer and the driver didn't notice? What was he driving?

I drove 50 miles once with the e-brake set. The real question is, what was he smoking!

Careful on your side of the world. Aussie has gone from cow tipping to cow tossing.

My fourth grade teacher in St. Louis pronounced it Mizz-OOH-ruh. She was the only one I knew who said it that way, and because she forced it on us, it really messed up my childhood.

She wouldn't accept my reasoning that Missouri ended with an "I," which by nature does not take an "uh" sound.

But even when we go to the Mizzou game in Columbia, the chant is "Mizz-OOH-ruh, Mizz-OOH-ruh, Mizz-OOH-ruh TIGERS!"

It's just one of those things.
