In my World History class here in the States, we learned how the British established a huge penal colony there in 1788. So, what kind of crime do I need to commit to be admitted to the Land Down Under? Will a simple misdemeanor do it, or should I aim higher and commit a serious felony? Also, can the prisoners visit the Sydney Opera House? It looks like a magnificent structure. And will my use of the word "magnificent", and my interest in opera, make me a sure target for my fellow inmates? I sure hope not. Is New Zealand a good side-trip? And is it really as new as its name would suggest? Finally, will it be hard to get used to the idea of heading north to enjoy the tropics? Where I live, if I head north, I'll be drinking Molson's on the beach with a bunch of Canadian ice fishermen. So many questions, so little time, mate. (I heard Paul Hogan say that in a movie once.) Star if your dollar bills have George Washington's picture on them, too... Y!A sez: Health > General Health Care > Pain & Pain Management. Yes, I can hear you all moaning...
