    I知 pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    Now, this is interesting. Did you know that the US and Germany were fighting at sea before a declaration of war, 8 months before at the first instance, and that a US ship was sunk with over 100 lives lost, once again before war was declared between Germany and the USA. I didn't.The title , from the history guy, is - USS Greer, USS Kearney USS Reuben James, and the undeclared war. Now there is an ad for his sponsor, but get thru that, and it is an interesting piece of history.

    The Battle of Brisbane, WW2. Spoken of in hushed tones by my Fathers generation. He used to say the Americans were over paid, over sexed, and over here. Add to that the Australians had been fighting in the middle east and New Guinea while the Americans twiddled their thumbs [ his words] , it was bound to boil over.

    Sir John Monash, the AIF and WW1. It's refreshing to hear an American talk about Australia, and get it right.
