It happened the SAME night we were out

Three people arrested at homicide scene, neighbours say

Where is Botany Downs? VERY close to my place. What were me and my friends doing out on a Saturday night? Well..only we shall know, but...its scary just thinking about a guy being murdered in front of his family. That's as evil as it gets!

What's all the hype?

Why is there still a hoo ha about evolution? So often you hear "I don't believe in God, evolution brought us here"
Evolution this, evolution that. Do we actually know what it is?

check out these links

Evolution is a Fact and a Theory

Top Evidences Against the Theory of Evolution

That being said (or read) I'm sure there are many many many more wordy arguments stemming from both sides of this topic. Thing is...when it comes to convincing people, no one ever changed their way of thinking after losing an argument. Especially an argument such as this.
An analogy? Would you buy a car you didn't really want if a salesman argued you into it? e.g. he points out all the good things about car A, when the fact is, you'd rather bus than buy car A. Sure, you try to defend why you don't wanna buy the car, and you lose, BUT would you buy it? Some people are so set in their ways, they may never give themselves a chance to undo their lines of thought.

Later that night we made fondue!!! We only coated the traditional strawberries and marshies though...

I didn't take any pictures of the steak we ate. Might insult some cow lovers...but I did take a pic of our final farewell breakfast to Taupo.

Sigh...holidays.....

PS: As a tribute to the Huka Prawn Farm, I'd like to have a Did You Know Session.

DID YOU KNOW?...
The prawn breeds at a ratio of 7 females to 1 male?
The male prawn has 2 'thingys'
The golden claw male puts all his energy into fighting and if he wins, often enough he turns into a blue clawed male (Think Dragonball!) and puts his energy into mating.
The male prawn has an average lifespan of 2 years and fathers up to 36,000,000 babies.

So there....the summary?
Prawns are tastier when you have knowledge of them. :P
