We've topped $1.30 a litre here in Oz, though it's back down to around $1.25. Allowing for exchange rates and units of measurement, that works out to about $us3.65 a gallon.

Around two thirds of that is tax, though, and the fuckers are refusing to lower it.

Over here in the UK it's $1.83/gallon.

I win!

Oops, what I meant to say was, ours is $1.83/litre... that's roughly $8.25/gallon.

Hooray for living in a society dependant on a chemical which takes 3 billion years to develop!

Poop.

I heard a funky radio scientist over here in Oz, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, talking about how oil is an incredible chemical, full of amazing hydrocarbon chains that are impossible to duplicate, and we waste it by burning it. When we _do_ run out of oil, a lot of industry's are going to be in trouble - plastics (and by extension all those reliant on plastics), medicine, cosmetics, and lots of other manufacturing and scientific fiels. Sure, maybe we'll make an electric or salt-water-powered car, but building the bloody thing is going to be fun with no petrochemicals...

There's supposed to be a bunch of plastics they can make without petroleum, but I don't know if they're nearly as good as the real stuff.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

That will teach me to post on a public forum when still half asleep.

"Industry's" instead of "industries".

Christamighty, time for some self-flagellation, I think...

"Forgive me father for I have sinned." *shwack!* "I pluralised with an apostrophe-S." *shwack!* "Please forgive me." *shwack!*

Well, I don't think there will be any raised eyebrows or cries of surprise to hear.... DexX wins! Whilst all of his entries were extremely good, my two particular favourites were:

and especially

...because it satisfied the Socratic Irony bonus rule.

Nobody actually used my "secret" corporation (which was Sony) but who cares when DexX's logos were all so awesome?

Congrats, DexX - unlike the forthcoming finale to the Ashes series, this competition ends in an Aussie victory!

i am outraged!

that

the Fosters one didn't win

+100UP for DexX

what if nigger meant kite

Yay! I shall have a ponder and post a new competition in an hour or two. I have a few ideas bouncing around, so I will work out which one I like best and post it soon.

Thank you, He of the Fading-In-and-Out Red Face.
