    Census collectors

    Funny story.

    A mate of mine just got back from a trip to Cameron's corner.
    He said last Tuesday he was camped about 70k's north of Tibooburra in this remote little camp spot, no one to be seen or heard until 2 old ladies pulled up next to him and hand him the census form to fill out.

    He said he was speechless and I just cracked laughing...I couldn't believe it.
    Before he left he was laughing and commenting "They won't find me where I'm going..haha"

    I filled it out, but after looking at it like that I dont think I will fill the next one out. Didn't even think about Big Brother peeping in on me.
    They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

    I love Censii.

    For example at various times my religion has been Orcish, Celt, Atlantean and I always tell them I spend up to 120 hours a week doing housework (which drives the Missus nutso) Oh, and after consuming a couple of Slabs need help to walk, talk, shower and undress myself.

    In 2014 I think I shall convert to Goth, stop working around the house completely and earn uuuummmm 1.3 trillion Kwacha.

    See if that doesn't skew their precious stats... knobs!
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
