    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    English is an "officially recognised" language, and very few casual users recognise it...

    Here's some possible origins of the term pakeha-
    1. From pakepakeha: imaginary beings resembling men.
    2. From pakehakeha: one of the sea gods.
    3. From keha: a flea.
    4. From poaka: a pig.

    Bugger, here's another link for you.

    You might want to check with your swami or who ever it you ask to ensure it it is ok for you to recognise:

    a) that sign language is an official language of New Zealand,
    b) this variant of the language is legally called New Zealand sign language
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin in World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.

    Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w film down
    so you could see his moves. That's the opposite of the norm.

    Women do NOT want an honest answer to the question, ‘How do I look?’

    The acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve razorblades. Hydrochloric acid, the type found in your stomach, is not only good at dissolving the pizza you had for dinner but can also eat through many types of metal.

    The surface area of a human lung is equal to a tennis court.

    The site where the Parthenon was built had to be cleared of hundreds of dinosaur bones (then called giants' bones) before construction could begin.

    On Christmas Day, 1968, a scheduling mix-up left Checkpoint Charlie unmanned for 12 hours.

    The dial on the prototype of the rotary telephone contained numbers 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, and special character "Z."
