Precisely . . But I'll bet some scientist could prove otherwise

Had a maths teacher many years ago who could prove algebraically that 1 equalled zero

0
= 0 + 0 + 0 + ...
= (1-1) + (1-1) + (1-1) + ...
= 1 -1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ...
= 1 - (1-1) - (1-1) - (1-1) - ...
= 1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - ...
= 1

Thanks Sam . .

You have proved that you are fully qualified to have input into drafting Fauna Laws for the 'Smart State'

Well done . .

Thanks to all who have replied, bugger about the legality issue, guess the southerns will have all the fun.

Move to the dark side....... Muahahahahahaha
We had a pair at work and they were the most skittish things I've ever seen.

I see these all the time down the South Coast.

I used to see them in my parents lemon trees eating the bugs out of spider webs.

They do have a nice call!

South of Wollongong I see them regularly along with flocks of goldfinches.

I recently, more just to irritate the miserable sods than anything, applied for a permit to import some in QLD. Unfortunately I got the wrong side of stupid that ended up with the application and because she couldn't find it in the native list wouldn't approve the permit. I'll do it again soon and see if I get the right idiot to approve it and set a precedence. I'm bored, and making them do menial tasks makes me feel better.

Love it

Only thinking of these birds yesterday and haven't seen one for over 40 years .I had 2 pairs in yard in coffs for years
