1. Cortez ripped off the aztecs, after the aztecs gave him an entire room full of gold in return for peace. Instead of taking his money and leaving, cortez took it, then continued to pillage the aztec empire.

2. No. Europe does not exist. Take this geographically correct map of the world. And point out Europe. Theres North America, South America, Africa, India, Antarctica and Australia. Note - that Australia is one of them.

3. Im 345 dog years.

1. History, was the federation of Australia.
2. Ive been to Europe. Nice place, never went to Romania though....
3. Im 16.

But I have to agree with dsio, try and find us. Australia has a people/land ratio of 1.6km2/1 person

That looks like a picture of Gondwanaland. (That was geography not history)

That picture looks like it was drawn in paint...

Its all in good fun chrisbard and honiar.

First in Australia!

I'm glad that our badges arrived in Australia in two pieces. Being a keyboard addict doesn't help the quality of your handwriting. dsio complains about my handwriting? This from a guy who didn't send me his name, just his grid co-ordinates?

I do not keep a record of Member's names, I tear up the envelope that their SASE came in as soon as I put their AOA case badges in the mailbox. It's much easier to remember their online handles!

Please post a pic of our fabled case badge, dsio!

"This from a guy who didn't send me his name, just his grid co-ordinates? "

Pheeeeeeeeuuuuuuu, sending your own and very personal name to someone that lives in the States and possibly has connections with the FBI or CIA or even NFL, it's not only dangerous but totally unacceptable to someone who killed numerous poisonous tods in his childhood. Good job Dsio

PS. and of course, no hard feelings !

1. You have to get on the school bus even if you don't want to.
2. That's where the coke vs. Pepsi wars were fought!
3. Not sure, but they checked my ID and wouldn't let me work on the Coliseum

Talking The ancient land called Europe

1. What is the first history lesson they teach you in schools?
2. Have you heard of an ancient land called Europe?
3. What age are you guys?


1. Wales is part of the UK, which is part of Europe (both geographically and historically)

2. Ive heard of Europe and for many years I beleived I was part of it; but in October 2004 Brussels bureaucrats map took wales out of Europe. The picture shows a line from Chester to the Severn Estuary along the English border, but Wales has vanished.

So if Europe exists - am I there??

3. Old enough to know with answer 1 or 2 are mistakes, but I can't decide who to believe. So who am I to comment on Romania, US or Austrialia when I dont know where in the world Wales is.

Whaa, everyone disses the US. Everyone here knows that president Bush is a fine man that works for the good of every common man. Whaa, it's so unfair, sniffle.

I have a very nice bridge for sale and it's cheap at twice the price.

I vouch for the existence of Wales, I've been there. I've not seen Romania, but
I'm almost certain that it exists. It has to, there's too much history of it to deny.

chrisbard: being 16 sucks. I cant drive (until im 17). I cant drink. (until im 18) not saying I dont though

cloasters: everyone knows Bush is a midget in high heels. My dad says Romania exists. He says met dracula after he escaped from the gnome that was living under ther bridge and wanted to make my dad his play thing.

Nah, in all seriousness, ive been to Europe. It was cool never ventured as far east as Romania though. Greece was as far east that I went.

BTW: I made one of those British Royal Guards, do a gun at arms thing. Me and my dad were having argument about if he was real or a statue. The guard does, gun at arms, then my dad says: "Fine, he's a robot then!!" then walked off with a smart-arse grin on his face. My dad is old going on 15.

Here is a very high resolution scan of the two case badges that cloasters sent me. Keep in mind there is a bit of dust on them, and the scanner's resolution and light brings out the imperfections in the badges. They dont look uneven and dirty in real life.

Any imperfection even in those conditions you mentioned could mean that they were switched with fake ones....hmmmmmmm
Do you completely trust your australian mail man or mail women??
