4 November, 2008Melbourne Cup Day newsNot about the next occupant of The White House, but I have some exciting news on this Melbourne Cup Day. Remember the poor little swine Bruce who made headlines a few weeks back? He caused some trouble to Caroline, and was sent to a piggery. Also back in June, there was a big discovery on the existence of a real unicorn. There have been a number of two headed dragons in fairy tales. It is the first time for lamb. Would you swap antelopes for pandas? or pandas for antelopes? It seems like the two countries were both happy with the deal.
Two giant pandas have made it's way from Chian to Taiwan in good health. The bears were sent from China in exchange for two small antelopes from Taiwan. They weigh over 100 kg each. (to Don: 100kg is about 220 pounds) Those two pandas were supposed to make the trip three years ago, it was delayed due to tensions between the two countries. And today's big news in Australia... it is about Melbourne Cup of course. Viewed with jockey Blake Shinne owned the racing in a very very close win.
I did not place any bids.

To the superstitious, the two headed lamb is a bad omen!

Oh, and Antony, I assume you meant that you did not place any bets!( on the Melbourne Cup Race )

Why is a two-headed lamb a bad omen? Don't you know the saying "two is better than one"?
Thank you John. Well, you know that Antony does not speak English. Posted by Antony Shen on 5 November 2008 10:01 PM.
"Two heads are better than one", means when two "one-headed" people get together to solve a problem.
But freaks of nature are a cause to fear by the benighted of the world. Cheer up by the way! Posted by Rev. Dr. Wu Yi on 5 November 2008 11:14 PM. post a comment
