At least five of our iconic marsupials have been decapitated and their heads left on a beach in Queensland.

Dads have generally been getting a bum rap for ages now.  But Lindsay Lohan's old man seems to deserve the condemnation he's been getting.  Sounds like a pretty flaky character.

He's been sprung for DUI, as well as battery.  No wonder his daughter is such a mess.

I've noticed that there are some pro-bloggers earning a full-time income.  For some reason I assumed that the leaders in this field would be from the US.  But it's not the case.  One of them, Darren Rowse, is from down here in Oz -- Melbourne to be exact.
