G'day Bruce,
Ok, so I was wrong on the elephant theory, nothing new in that. Looks like if I get to Maple leaf land that I should go in cognitio if out west? Nah, surely not, they couldn't be any worse than our lot up in central OZ. Lots of very drunk indigenous types that are generally not too friendly (when drunk anyway). Your better off socialising with the emus, (incidentally emu is pronounced e-mew, not like that clown on the CBS late show who pronounced it as e-moo)
Cheers,
Robin
