Do you hate Australians?

[Egbert]

Hitler was from Austria. Australia shares a lot of letters ... which you might dismiss as irrelevant ...

Except there's THIS.

Awesome! A well dressed Aussie.

[Bereta_Eder]

The exact phrase is

Do not trust the horse, Trojans! Whatever it is, I fear the Danaans, even when bringing gifts."

In australian speak that would be

Do not trust the horse, Trojans! Whatever it is, I fear the wogs, even when bringing gifts.



So they're not austrians but australians

[dannubis]

Thanks Bereta. I though it was a quote from Herodotus referring to the "Trojan Horse".

Was it actually a quote from Virgil?

It is in the Aeneis.
I don't know if it features like that in the iliad.

[Sava]

i hate them because they are humans but their nation of origin is irrelevant

Hitler was an Australian.

[Bereta_Eder]

No, the one I saw outside the Woolworth's in Melbourne makes up for all the ones that infest the internet.

[Sava]

Australia grows bananas. Who could hate a country that grows bananas?

[Ben Kenobi]

I don't know why conservatives would have a problem with their wife's beaver.

[N35t0r]

Iceland grows bananas in lava-heated greenhouses.

[Dinner]

Not since the 1950's. Or at least not at commercial scale since the 1950's.

[DaShi]

OMG! I never thought about this until someone finally asked the question: no.

[Egbert]

Australia grows bananas. Who could hate a country that grows bananas?

Australians eat about 5 million bananas a year.

That sounds like a lot however with a population of over 20 million that's only 4 bananas a year each.

That means the average Australian only has one banana every three months.

What sort of country is this if people have to wait 3 months for the next banana?

Horrifying! I had no idea we had such a serious problem on our hands.
