For those of you who share Indiana Jones’ fear of snakes, this story is the kind that will freak you out.

I love the quote from the guy:

“Fortunately I’m not the panicky type.”

Good thing.

We once discovered an Egyptian Cobra in our kitchen when I was a kid. We didn’t have a mouse or mid-size rodent problem…

RUS’s are, of course, a whole ‘nuther story… :-)

I preached a sermon a few weeks back focused on being generous people this year, not just financially, but more particularly in the way we think, speak and act.

Then I was reminded of this great line from Napoleon:

“Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.”

I laughed out loud (um, that would be LOL for you younger types)… such generosity of thought!

My translation?

“Give people the benefit of the doubt. It’s more likely they’re just stupid, not mean.”

Kind of funny, after a previous post of mine wondering about why Twitter hasn’t really caught on here in Australia, to find a news piece talking about how Twitter is taking off in a hurry down under, albeit in a slightly oddball Australian way. Typical…

This is a rather interesting development in this day and age. What are they going to do? Send the Jesuits around?! :-)

I liked his use of the offerings to make a point… :-)

My wife says I am guilty of at least one of these… NO WAY!!!

OK, as someone who was forced to use these things in a previous life, I thought this was VERY funny…

The title of this post is inspired by an occasion a few years ago when one of my cars had been missing for a few days without me noticing it was gone. Those who know me well know that details are not a strong point… :-)

According to the RAC, here’s the top 10 worst places in Perth for car theft:

1) Fremantle

2) Perth

3) Morley

4) Cannington

5) Mandurah

6) Joondalup

7) Armadale

8) Midland

9) Thornlie

10) Gosnells

To be honest, I’m surprised Rockingham doesn’t feature in that list, but there you have it. I’m very surprised that Joondalup and Mandurah are in there. The rest are somewhat predictable.

The most stolen car? Older Commodores. Why oh why would you steal such rubbish? This classically illustrates that thieves are not into quality but convenience. My Porsche is safe… :-)

But I suspect it might be for some of the Facebook addicts out there…
