South Africa

I just read an article saying it was based on real world political issues regarding international isolation that faced Apartheid South Africa. For me it was just a cool show.

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year.

The male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.

We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-*** man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost

If you could back in time to anywhere in SA history where would you go and who would you be, or be with? I always loved the stories of Coenraad De Buys and the frontier bandits and their adventures.... a pity they never make a film of that, much better than any cowboy film in my opinion?

I knew an ou who could tell you where you were from by the way you spoke Afrikaans, or where you had learnt it! I used to have a Vaalie accent but then when I moved to the Cape it got coloured (no pun intended). I must admit I like the Cape accent, much more similar to Dutch! When I went to Malmesbury it cracked me up the grrr bray of Malmebrgie! Manakwalanners have a crazy accent and Griekwas use words and phrases that are mos difficult to follow sometimes..... what about you?

Why do we say to "fight fire with fire", does it mean literal fire or fire as in gunfire? I can understand the latter but not the former! Apart from that is fighting fire with fire the best way? Or is it better to use water.....?

I normally delete them immediately, especially those telling me my wishes will come true if I send a specific e-mail to at least seven other people. But still here is one I really would like to share with you:

Dear All

My thanks to all those who have sent me emails this past year........

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat **** in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also,I now have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown); who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the R15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program ....
Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeriawho wants me to split $7 million with me for pretending to be a long lost r

This morning I went to sleep and when I woke this afternoon, I see my landlord have painted my apartment RED with YELLOW trimmings on the outside. It seems nightmares can follow you into your waking hours now.

Like we say the late Mr/s X. Why the use of the word “Late”? What are they late for; and aren’t they earlier to death than those who call them “late”?

the lame duck,Mbeki,is a Dead duck and about to be replaced by Zooma. My logic is that his new Health Minister will be promoting a Shower with Lifebuoy as a cure for HIV/AIDS instead of Beetroot and Garlic favoured by the (Johnny) Walker Brothers (Manto and Tonto).

The golden rule when reading the menu is, if you can't pronounce it, you can't afford it.

"African National Congress President Thabo Mbeki and his lobbyists were humiliated on Sunday, as the majority of the ruling party's provinces and branch delegates said no to a third term and an overwhelming yes to Jacob Zuma."

Apparently it doesnt matter that he is in the process of being convicted of corruption. And was accused of rape.

And he is no better than Mbeki when it comes to staying home..

"Zuma was not at home to witness his successes, opting instead for an international "get to know me" visit to India, Los Angeles and London."

Already spending money on going overseas on holidays.

"Zuma may well be president when the event takes place in 2010, given that ANC policy conference delegates said it was preferable for the ANC president to also be the country's leader."

Or do you only frequent the Spur, Wimpy, Mac etc. for fear that your child will ruin the place?

Here is something that may interest you, and in turn you may add places that you have experienced to very children-friendly. I place this link because I would like to share the info with you, and not because I am trying to advertise anything. So trolls, please do not report me. I am sure there are many tourists who would be happy to know that some restaurants in South Africa are child-friendly. We have been to places that have welcomed dogs, but have frowned when children visit their venues.

Why is 2007 pronounced "two thousand AND seven" when 27 is pronounced "twenty seven" NOT "twenty and seven"?
Is it wrong to say "two thousand seven", the narrator on a documentary on the History channel kept saying, "two thousand seven" or "two thousand three".

So what is right?

A priest was preparing a dying man for his 'long day's journey into night'. Whispering firmly, the priest says, "Denounce the devil! Let him know how little you think of his evil."

The dying man says nothing.

The priest repeats his order again.

Still, the dying man says nothing.

The priest asks, "Why do you refuse to denounce the devil and his evil?"

The dying man replies, "Until I know exactly where I'm headed, I don't think it's such a good idea to aggravate anybody just yet."

Where is this supposed evidence that Africans have a lower IQ than Europeans? I have noticed that the sick racists like to quote this one a lot, but where is this evidence, where is this science? Where do other races fit in this supposed framework of intellectual capability? I present my facts, I challenge you to backup your own.......
