Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.

It seems that our mates down under have been having fun!  Some at the expense of a poor slob in South Australia who has been slapped with $61k in speeding tickets due to a new law in New South Wales. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/11/13/australia.speeding.ap/index.html It seems under a new law, if a driver swears that he was not driving his car when a camera caught him breaking a law, then they do not have to pay the fine.  So in the past few months, one living guy and one dead guy have been cited 238 times for driving their cars and speeding (I have got to see the dead guy driving - wait - We have drivers like that here in the states too!).

If that is not enough, now we have Aussie scientists who have invented a t-shirt that will allow Air Guitarists to actually play music!  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,229050,00.html Take that Funky Winkerbean!

Now if they can only combine the 2 and create a t-shirt for the dead guy so we can hear his air guitar, we will have a new craze on our hands!  And the cemetaries will be jumping!

Give a man too much leisure time, and this is what they come up with.  It may not extend your life (sorry about that for the dead man), but it will make the time you have on this planet more enjoyable!

Yes, they are.  But in a very fun way!  If you wrote a story about these news items, no one would believe you!

I don't know the first thing about playing the guitar(I can play the sax, though)...but maybe these shirts will help...or at least make me look ridiculous but sound cool.

Now...the next thing is to wire up some gloves for wind instruments and percussion too.

I bet they are working on those!  As I said, they may not prolong life, but they are going to make sure the time we have here is fun!

The first person to be caught using this scam was a former judge who didn't want to pay a AUD$77 fine. A former judge who can't afford to pay $77... He deserves everything he gets.

As for the air guitar shirt, as a guitarist, I have to say I see this only as a form of cheating. Still, Aussie ingenuity is a marvellous thing to behold, even if I do say so myself.

So when is the air clarinet coming out?
