Yeah, I know. I'm a pedant. Deal wif it. Plus I have a love affair with Australia, though I've never been there. It's a long-distance relationship, but it works.

Where'd you get that pronunciation? I think it's missing a syllable.

Those Maori tattoos are absolutely the coolest things I've ever seen. They're all buh-BLAOW! I'm not sure how they're done traditionally, but if it's anything like the traditional Hawaiian way of tattooing, they use a reed sharpened to a needle point and dipped in ink, and they do a sort of quick succession of sharp taps using a mallet type of thing (think chiseling, sort of) to drive it into the skin. And that's really cool, eh? I saw some documentary showing how its done and I was simultaneously going "Ouch" out of empathy and "I want one!" because of the sheer coolness.
