Practical Innovation: CSIRO's Idea Trebuchet

 

Be counter-cyclical. Imagine a big red bouncy ball

 Some say it's awfully warm nowadays. My colleagues here and at our partner agencies have produced an awful lot of maps, and they just keep getting redder. Enough of that shit. 

I'm Doctor Larry Marshal of the CSIRO and I'd like to introduce  a practical innovation developed at my instigation by the CSIRO to jettison inconvenient lines of research. As it turns out, future applications are well-nigh limitless

 

A high-minded intellectual as ballast, making an ancient weapon new again. As Malcolm Turnbull would acknowledge, that's agile

Fool or charlatan? Pope Frank believes George Pell. 

No cleanup required at the Augean stables. George had the walls recently covered up with institutional whitewash. Tony Abbott is decorating the place with all the suppositories of wisdom he can, er, bring forth.

Divine Hopoate Tactics

 

Would George Pell query his God ?

Maybe in retrospect, but God doesn't like gossip and he appointed me, so shut up and read the documents he provided.

Hypothetically speaking of course, if I in the 70s had seen a priest offering pastoral guidance to a 14 year old in his bed I would have applauded his vocation for children, you know there was a desperate shortage of men with a calling for the priesthood... Of course I see things differently nowadays

Does Pope Frank agree, Who knows?

Thumbs up for now

It's just a little  ditty Clive Palmer and Gina Rinehart perform on opera stages around the place.

Elected with a healthy 97% of the vote, life is good for Abdul Fatah al-Sisi, despite the rapid onset of the creepy skin condition known as "dictator's face"(Scrofula Kopfaeces). This is the Price of being Egypt's strongman, that's not a teardrop tattoo under his eye, just natural wear and tear.

A fan of Kafka, Sisi loves his centipede and cockroach braid

Sisi demands that his people be as happy as he.

What price Prince Charles with a George Cross pinned to his nose? Though it could equally be an Iron Cross with oak clusters. He's a bit of a dick, a fan of novelty ties, and future hereditary head of state with a habit of scrawling personal demands to ministers
