Somehow your tale of a billionaire media mogul murdering a doctor for a stolen kidney using assassins paid via a heist of his own gold reserves was one of the tamer ones
Getting a heap of unhinged anonymous tipoffs at the moment and the problem with Australia is it's impossible to tell if one person is just having an episode or if our country really is just like that

felt like you needed to see this travesty
Pete had known tricksters and sly dogs in all his time as a half-spy half-bassist; but of all his enemies none had been quite so deceiving as Scomo.
This Pete Wentz Scomo fic may both the best and worst thing we've ever read (yet somehow still not even in the top 10 worst things involving Scomo)

has anyone sent you Andrew Leigh's official portrait on his website because I was reminded of it recently and it made me laugh out loud
www [dot] andrewleigh [dot] com [slash] andrew
Look normally we have a policy of not sharing any politicians' photos that contain their kids, but clearly Andrew specifically chose to upload this particular family photo to his website, so ladies, gentlemen and others, we present to you the Assistant Minister for Employment's official portrait:

Despite finding the fabled 'Terra Australis' after sending a search party to scope out this groovy sounding Kingdom of Beach, the Dutch were unable to name the continent 'Australia', due to an awkward mishap where Portuguese sailors had already named some random island in Vanuatu 'Australia' instead, very over-optimistically assuming it would prove to be a vast new continent when they sailed by.
It would take about 200 years for that naming snafu to be forgotten about, and in 1824 the British did what they do best, yoinking the name for themselves - the Dutch having long since bailed out of Australia after learning the locals didn't have any gold they could steal.
For a period in the 1600s, due to a spelling error that everyone just rolled with, the continent of Australia became known throughout Europe as 'Beach'

Amazingly, this is not an April fools joke.
