Not only Queensland has a lot of Waterslides, South Australia & a few others do have waterslides of course! Water World, a swimming centre near my suburb has a fast slide called the Gully Gusher! But now, as Water World is now closed for upgrades, the Gully Gusher is now demolished! The last time I saw the Gusher, it was in a pile of metal supports!

Son Of Beast used to have a loop but now, it was a mechanical nightmare and may face a lawsuit against it's manufacturer! Now ALL wooden coasters are the ONLY wooden coasters which do not have a loop! RCT2 & RCT3's wooden coasters had loops, just to let everyone recreate SOB! -

Here's another song that I listened to in my childhood: The Sneezing Fisherman A fisherman went out one day, to catch some fishes in the bay. But all he caught was a nasty cold, which stayed with him ‘till he grew old! He sneezed and wheezed and wheezed and sneezed. Each time he sneezed he looked displeased! He sneezed and wheezed and wheezed and sneezed, until he sneezed himself away! -
April 22, 2010: NASA's best-recognized, longest-lived, and most prolific space observatory zooms past a threshold of 20 years of operation this month. On April 24, 1990, the space shuttle and crew of STS-31 were launched to deploy the Hubble telescope into a low Earth orbit. What followed was one of the most remarkable sagas of the space age. Hubble's unprecedented capabilities made it one of the most powerful science instruments ever conceived by humans, and certainly the one most embraced by the public. Hubble discoveries revolutionized nearly all areas of current astronomical research, from planetary science to cosmology. And, its pictures were unmistakably out of this world. This brand new Hubble photo is of a small portion of one of the largest seen star-birth regions in the galaxy, the Carina Nebula. Towers of cool hydrogen laced with dust rise from the wall of the nebula. The scene is reminiscent of Hubble's classic "Pillars of Creation" photo from 1995, but is even more striking in appearance. The image captures the top of a three-light-year-tall pillar of gas and dust that is being eaten away by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. The pillar is also being pushed apart from within, as infant stars buried inside it fire off jets of gas that can be seen streaming from towering peaks like arrows sailing through the air. NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) are celebrating Hubble's journey of exploration with this stunning new picture, online educational activities, an opportunity for people to explore galaxies as armchair scientists, and an opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts to send in their own personal greetings to Hubble for posterity.

The Happy Tree Friends are cute, cuddly animals whose daily adventures always end up going horribly wrong! No matter how innocently their day begins, it always ends in mayhem! The ensemble cast includes Cuddles, the cutest darn rabbit you’ll ever meet, and Petunia, a sweet girl skunk always mindful to wear air freshener! Traveling through picturesque settings and speaking in a kooky language all their own, the Happy Tree Friends never know what chaos lingers just around the bend! http://htf.atom.com/

Here's another tune that I sang and danced to when I was in primary school. It's called 'Boogie Board Boogie'! I only remember the chorus from now... I just want to boogie, boogie on my board. Get down to the ocean, I'll find myself some motion, I'm riding on my boogie woogie board! -

I have GTA-IV, which is rated MA15+ in Australia. Some cartoon series on DVD such as Happy Tree Friends & Family Guy is also rated MA15+ in Australia. I am very keen on the MA rated content, especially the blood & intestines these days. Although I might be old enought to prepare for R18+, my brother says that being over 18 years old doesn't count as being mature enough to watch such violence. Watch on http://htf.atom.com/ and see what you think! -

From http://www.news.com.au/national/adelaide-rocked-by-earth-tremor/story-e6frfkvr-1225854759427: A 3.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Adelaide and the surrounding suburbs last night. At 12.15am, Geoscience Australia seismologist David Jepsen said the quake hit at 11.27pm with an epicentre somewhere in the Adelaide Hills, AdelaideNow reports. "It's located in a population centre so expected to be felt quite widely," Mr Jepsen said. And the feeling would have been even stronger for multi-storey apartment dwellers. "If you're in a building of many floors the shaking would be amplified, apartments or tall buildings in the city," he said. However, Mr Jepsen said it was unlikely there would be any aftershocks or major damage from tonight's quake. "Something of this size, it's highly unlikely there would be any damage." A police spokesman said there were several calls to triple zero around the time of the tremor, and the Bureau of Meteorology also fielded lots of inquiries. "There were reports as far away as Monarto and Salisbury," a spokesman said. Early reports from Twitter users said the quake happened at approximately 11.35pm CST last night. Twitter users reported houses shaking, while over 3000 Facebook users joined a group titled "the earthquake in adelaide!" If you live in Adelaide, did you feel the tremor? I did when I was in bed and my wardrobe doors rattled!
