Oh, and I forgot to tell you that I lived in Australia for 12 years. I miss it terribly . . . especially chico rolls and fish and chips wrapped in newspaper. Do they still do that? Aaaah and the beach, Bribie Island. I better stop. See ya.e

ha! as an english teacher, i definitely appreciated some of these. others of them were scary, mostly because they looked so familiar... :-P

Some of their reasoning is sound. At least these were funny because some of them made a sort of sense, and showed the reasoning behind them. Or were near misses (Pyraminds/Pyrhinees). Smart kids! (What's terrifying, though, is many adults would agree with those answers. Gah...)
