The year of astronomy indeed. Another amazing announcement coming up. Watch this space. :O

World Bank: Extreme poverty 'to fall below 10%' The World Bank has said that for the first time less than 10% of the world's population will be living in extreme poverty by the end of 2015. The bank said it was using a new income figure of $1.90 per day to define extreme poverty, up from...

Okay, guys. So I posted a facebook status the other day about my Dishwasher, and received some feedback about how I was 'given two hands for a reason' and implying that using a dishwasher is lazy. I didn't install the dishwasher, the house came with it and it's the first time in my adult life...

So, Flakka is set to be the next big thing as far as drugs in Australia are concerned and have already made their mark in the USA - more of less for being a type of 'Bath Salt' - the same kind of drug that sawe someone chew the face off of a homeless person [link] and saw a woman start licking a...

Body of missing teen in chimney for ‘years’ THE body of an 18-year-old man reported missing seven years ago was found in the chimney of an abandoned cabin less than two kilometres from his home, with the details of his death likely to stay a mystery. Colorado police said the remains were...

Okay, yes. It's been done. And done successfully - a man by the name of Craig Rowin made a series of YouTube videos that went viral where he effectivbely asked random celebrities, business people and businesses for $1,000,000. Eventually he was actually given $1,000,000 by a man by the name of...

So. Yesterday my car conked out. It was kind of a bomb, but it was my bomb - and I didn't need to worry so much about cleanliness as anyone driving it (besides me, work to home and visa versa) was a rare occurrence at best. Anyway, it's due to be toed off the side of my street today and I had...

How someone could have so little regard for their child is beyond me. To just leave her there and walk off without even a second thought about the million and one things that could happen to her. This lady and her children, who found the little girl, deserve a medal. This child is obviously...

Right now is the blessed day of Eid (al-Adha) for Muslims. :D Alhamdulillah. Which to put it simply is like 'Muslim Christmas' and marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage. Just thought I'd wish anyone/everyone a Happy Eid. :) EID MUBARAK EVERYONE

Video: This is just so scary - this woman is clearly very intelligent and has clearly lost a lot as a result of war. She wants what is best for her child, and is looking out for her daughter more so than for herself. No more money, no more food. You look at her child and at her, and can't...

That's right. She's willing to risk it all, and get on a boat for a better life. It's so profound and something no one on this forum can relate to - the fact you know the risks of getting on a boat, but you feel as though there's no other way. You have to do it. Sure, we can rattle on about...

US mum charged after kids found living in shopping crate in an underground cave A 24-year-old mother is in custody after her two young children were found barefoot, dirty and living in a wooden shipping crate in an underground cave on the eastern edge of Kansas City, Missouri. Brittany...

In this midst of things like the current refugee crisis, it's very rare to chance upon a story as heart-warming as this. A Danish Police Officer playing with a young Syrian girl on the road. So good! According to the article below, the cop was hiding his wedding ring, and the girl would...

Not only an amazing idea, for our environment. But, also amazing looking! I think I want to live there. :ph34r:

Is it learned, or is it an ability that everyone can tap into? The question comes as I was driving for work the other day, early in the morning and 3AW's Ross and John brought this up, as they'd heard a sports-caster refer to someone as playing as though they 'know hard work is a skill'. What...

Hahaha, I love Lupe! His first two albums were gold. His idea to unmake Lasers is pretty good - too bad I don't own it. :P Basically, he wants anyone who owns lasers and doesn't like it to send it back to him so he can destroy it with a laser on New Years day 2016. :P

Alright, so it's my day off work and my wife and I decided we'd head out, check out some shops in a nearby suburb (just got back, in fact.) when my wife noticed some damage to her car and someone's Working With Children's Check (a photo ID, with a full name. But no address.) sitting on the...

Thought I'd start a pets topic. For us to post funny stories, pictures and videos and stuff. Ask questions, post updates. Now, I don't have any myself. Though my kids both have a Rabbit each. :) Unnamed, as my wife feel it'd be nice to wait until the kids name them.

I'm sure no one will remember me though. My name is Sayf and I'm a 26 year old Muslim father of two from Melbourne. I work in retail *Joyyyyy* and am quite boring. Hi, tho.

A woman in China has reportedly been caught in hospital trying to eat her baby, leaving the child's arm/hand heavily bruised and bleeding. It's understood she was mentally ill and brought to hospital after being found on the streets (where she'd been living) going into labour. Scary stuff -...
