A "Drosophila melanogaster" might fit with the evolution side but is a bit of a mouth full. How about a "George" He was the long live Galapagos turtle not a Beatle type of George- Brand confusion Arrrgh- look what you started [biggrin]
and how far is that from Coober Pedy?Quote:

Us poor plague ridden southerners could promote a "Fawlty Towers" type thread about NT politics, a laugh a minute and a new political party or two every election with all sorts of politicians re-inventing themselves. Sort of a "Comedy Company" of the north [bigwhistle], it'd be funnier than watching Donald Trump pretending to be intelligent [bigsmile]

Had some friends around for lunch last weekend. On the topic of should we open the borders, given increasing cases south, everyone shook their heads side to side, no! Might have to give ourselves a Darwin award if we end up with community transmission.Quote:

Totally off topic of course but it saddens me to see how quickly our Federation so easily Balkanises into a bunch of us and them parochial states. :(Quote:

Yes, on that basis I think NT might have lost the opportunity of using covid as an excuse to incorporate some remainders of western Qld and northern SA...that way a Darwin Jeep driver bogged near Isa could say they are in Jeep 'Territory' (a pathetic attempt to segue back to topic).Quote:
