Typical Middle European power tripper, once they lose god they become fanatics about something or another. Dangerous people. www.aynrand.org hy You seem to have read quite a bit,pity you don't seem to understand a word.	Cicero (40)

But anyway I always read a lot about everything I could at any time all my life. I have read a lot on Electronics in general because I worked in the field for most of my life, so much so that I started to get an American accent! Also some Philosophy and Psychology as the mood takes me all through my life. So look out Cicero, in more ways than one I think I am what used to be called a "Renaissance Man" although overall I am very average in abilities except problem solving.	zqwerty (97)

485849	2006-09-23 06:31:00	Ohhhhh, here we go again! :horrified Only $720,000 to study Neutrinos this time! :waughh: Who said what are Neutrinos? Ok, I didn’t know either, but I’m told on good authority that they are best described as the result of multiplying 400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 by 0 (Zero)! Apparently they have no mass, electron charge, or in fact anything . :confused: However, some Scientist has convinced our intrepid government that any number of these “nothings” are loitering in Antarctica . Odds on he leaves with $720,000 and comes back with nothing . :mad: Makes the overseas study of Hip Hop look cheap doesn’t it .	B.M. (505)

485851	2006-09-23 20:04:00	Thanks BM for keeping us updated,Zqwerty will be pleased his pals are using OUR money to good affect. One has to concur with PJ's observation's.	Cicero (40)

THE REST OF THE WORLD VERSION: The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building and improving his house and laying up supplies for the winter . The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away . Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed . The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold . THE END THE NEW ZEALAND VERSION: The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter . The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away . Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed . A social worker finds the shivering grasshopper, calls a press conference and demands to know why the squirrel should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like the grasshopper, are cold and starving . TV Three shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper; with cuts to a video of the squirrel in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food . The New Zealand press inform people that they should be ashamed that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty . The Labour Party, Greenpeace, Animal Rights and The Grasshopper Council of NZ demonstrate in front of the squirrel's house . TV One, interrupting a cultural festival special from Wellington with breaking news, broadcasts a multi cultural choir singing "We Shall Overcome" . Michael Cullen rants in an interview with Kim Hill that the squirrel has got rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the squirrel to make him pay his "fair share" and increases the charge for squirrels to enter inner Auckland . In response to pressure from the media, the Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer . The squirrel' s taxes are reassessed . He is taken to court and fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as builders for the work he was doing on his home and an additional fine for contempt when he told the court the grasshopper did not want to work . The grasshopper is provided with a state house, financial aid to furnish it and an account with a local taxi firm to ensure he can be socially mobile . The squirrels food is seized and re distributed to the more needy members of society, in this case the grasshopper . Without enough money to buy more food, to pay the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, the squirrel has to downsize and start building a new home . The local authority takes over his old home and utilises it as a temporary home for asylum seeking cats who had arrived illegally on a boat as they had to share their country of origin with mice . On arrival they have tried to blow up the viaduct because of New Zealand's apparent love of dogs . The cats had been arrested as illegal overstayers and for attempted bombing but were immediately released because the police fed them pilchards instead of salmon whilst in custody . Initial moves to then return them to their own country were abandoned because it was feared they would face death by the mice . The cats devise and start a scam to obtain money from peoples credit cards . A Campbell Live special shows the grasshopper finishing up the last of the squirrel's food, though Spring is still months away, while the council house he is in, crumbles around him because he hasn't bothered to maintain the house . He is shown to be taking drugs . Inadequate government funding is blamed for the grasshoppers drug 'illness' . The cats seek recompense in the NZ courts for their treatment since arrival in New Zealand . The grasshopper gets arrested for stabbing an old dog during a burglary to get money for his "P" habit . He is imprisoned but released immediately because he has been in custody for a few weeks . He is placed in the care of the probation service to monitor and supervise him . Within a few weeks he has killed a guinea pig in a botched robbery . A commission of enquiry, that will eventually cost $10,000,000 and state the obvious, is set up . Additional money is put into funding a drug rehabilitation scheme for grasshoppers and legal aid for lawyers representing asylum seekers is increased . The asylum seeking cats are praised by the government for enriching New Zealand's multicultural diversity and dogs are criticised by the government for failing to befriend the cats . The grasshopper dies of a drug overdose . The usual sections of the press blame it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity and his traumatic experience of prison . They call for the resignation of a minister . The cats are paid a million pounds each because their rights were infringed when the government failed to inform them there were mice in New Zealand . The squirrel, the dogs and the victims of the hijacking, the bombing, the burglaries and robberies have to pay an additional percentage on their credit cards to cover losses, their taxes are increased to pay for law and order and they are told that they will have to work beyond 65 because of a shortfall in government funds . THE END Postscript: In addition the squirrel decides enough is enough and sells up everything he owns and pisses off to Australia! :lol:	B.M. (505)
