Their is either a debate of if it's Greenland or Australia. I think the answer was Australia, but now "officially" Greenland. I suppose it's how land is measured.
Icy what you did there.
What is an 'Island' and what isn't is tricky.

I just wish we could all get along like we used to in Middle School, I wish that I could bake a cake made of rainbows and smiles and we'd all eat it and be happy.

Buying a new ASUS notebook, to replace one of another brand that only lasted 5 months(!). The computer part itself works like a dream. On the other hand, the screen is all washed out with a magenta cast, and has to be re-calibrated each time you log in.

Host asks this question in a quiz: Jamaica is considered part of what continent?
1st person: Um would it be South America? (HOST said No, she then says um Central America)
HOST for next person: No, not South America, but go further up.
Person said: Um would it be Asia? and similar answers from the next two people.

(The host deliberately said or what she thought was a "give-away" clue, as she was in a hurry for the news)

I was driving along today when I thought I saw the "Air Bag fault" light on in my '96 Commodore's dashboard. I thought "oh no, if I crash I won't have any airbags to save me."

Then I rounded a corner and realized it was just the sunlight shining in from behind me that made it look like it was on.
Then I realized that my car doesn't have airbags to save me in a crash. No ABS either!

When we had the Commodore that light came on. They did some computer jiggery pokery on it and figured out that the driver's side airbag had "decreased resistance" or something. Considering it would cost well over $1000 to fix, we never bothered.

That's wishful thinking here in NSW, you have the airbag light on, car won't pass the annual inspection, car won't pass annual inspection means no registration. There's a reason most bombs here have QLD registration. I know someone who fixed the problem the easy way-he took the airbag light globe out. I'm not even 100% convinced that they actually do save lives, they make life for emergency services a heck of a lot harder as well. Time that could be spent saving people is spent "managing" the airbags.

What sort of Commodore did you have, if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah, I've been told it took them up until the VT to get the airbags worked out properly. I was also told by a former Holden mechanic that VR/VS Holden airbags often wouldn't even deploy at all, and that the Ford system was much better. Something about 3 sensors vs 1 on the Holdens.
I'm lucky that my rather spartan S pack has neither airbags nor the woefully craptacular IRS system that some had.

Decided to look up my old high school, downloaded the subject information and coming to the conclusion that I would not survive high school today. Made me feel very old.
