Newfy Terrorists
Latest news reports advise that a cell of 4 terrorists has been operating in
Newfoundland, Canada. Police advised earlier today that 3 of the 4 have been
detained. The Newfoundland Provincial Police Commissioner stated that the terrorists
Bin Sleepin, Bin Drinkin and Bin Fightin have been arrested on immigration issues.
The Police advise further that they can find no one fitting the description
of the fourth cell member, Bin Workin, in the province. Police are confident
that anyone who looks like Workin will be very easy to spot in the community.

Historical anecdote
Charades anyone?
One of the (many) difficulties that plagued the Austrians in the Seven Weeks
War were the multiplicity of languages used by the various nationalities that
made up the army. Officers spoke German, the language of command. Unfortunately
the soldiers often did not speak German; nor did the regimental commanding officers
speak the regiment's native tongue. Understandably this made communication difficult.
One regiment at Munchengratz was accused of cowardice after the regiment did
not obey an ordered bayonet charge at the Prussian positions. One officer retorted,
"The regiment fought bravely until nightfall, when the officers could no
longer pantomime examples [of what was needed]."...

Exercise Tandem Thrust [now theres a Freudian slip] is on in the Rockhampton
area, with US and Australian air, land and sea forces.
In the various briefings for the visitors there is a segment on flora and fauna
and what to be careful of.
In some of the briefings for US land forces they are warned about the feral
koalas which lurk up in trees and drop on people before inflicting serious damage
with their long claws [and these were illustrated].
The wounds so caused need lots of Vitamin E to cure, but luckily the Aussies
have such stuff, this black paste which is plastered on your skin, mostly on
your face to be working in case of drop bear attack.
So the hulking USMC and US Airborne are moving out on patrol and operations
with Vegemite smeared on their faces. ...
