The 2000 election here in the US was not decided until about a month after the fact. The first time someone ever won without winning the popular vote I believe...

It was actually the 4th time someone won without gaining the poular vote IIRC.

No.

I was referring rather to the issue at the polls, rather than date of completion. Anyone looking for a thought-provoking movie should check out Hacking Democracy

what do you want to know???

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #63 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:16:09 AM »

I can find out raw statistics and facts here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia

Things I am curious about are strange things like what's on the menu at McDonalds in Australia (if there are McDonalds there)?
What do Ausies think about Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin?
Is there really a dislike between Australians and New Zelanders?
How often do you see a Kangaroo?

TheJaylor · « **Reply #64 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:20:12 AM »

who cares about kangaroos when koalas and wombats and blue tongued skinks and the deadly animals like Funnel Web spiders and Death Adders and Opera Singers

SomeKittens · « **Reply #65 on:** August 31, 2010, 12:12:40 PM »

Why do you have a giant building with sails when it can't move?
Do you guys eat kangaroo, and if so, what does it taste like?

of course there are McDonalds in Australia. There everywhere. But they I think are really bad.
never watched croc dundee and Steve's dead.
You see kanga's in the zoo or just about all the time in the bush/outback.

The giant building as you probably know is the Sydney Opera House and the sails are only its designs.
You can eat kangaroo and it tastes like dry beef to me. (Not that dry really.)
