Another reason to like Australia
 

Check out these questions (supposedly real questions and responses) posted to an Australian tourism web site. Hilarious!

These are great!

I just saw this same post about Canada...

Bummer. Probably just made-up/urban legend stuff then.

Still good for a chuckle though.

Been to Oz twice....Luv it; especially the people....I have a few life long friends there..

When I saw the thread title i thought you were talking about this

man, is the Cory Worthington clip for real... too funny...

Yup, it is real.

And Australia is a great country. ;)

I liked the one about the hippo racing at Kings Cross. I spent three weeks there once on an easy assignment and I saw just about everything except hippo racing when the night life kicked in at Kings Cross. Only place I ever heard of that had a show where a dancer had sex on stage...with a guy she picked out of the audience after checking various crotches! (I did not make the finals I guess)

you obviously have not been to Amsterdam before

I love that Cory kid vid; too funny.
Party on dude
