I think that number would be the worldwide populations of dromedarys and bactrian camels combined. It probably doesn't include South American members of the Camelidae family.

Australia probably has up to a million feral dromedarys. There are some concerns that these (along with feral horses and donkeys) may one day replace kangaroos as the dominant large herbivore in Australia

And yes, Australia has almost 20 million feral Homo sapiens. The Australian government is currently exploring various culling strategies with their US allies

the fact that the last number is not a zero makes me scratch my head a little.

I've been thinking further on this fascinating tidbit.

Since there are approximately 731, 984 feral Australian dromedarys - have these been counted as camels, as Australians or both?

<--- this is not me.
it is what I aspire to be in about 25-30 years.

i had a song featured in a web-cast today, which also featured an interview with john buckman of magnatune.com, where my first album is being sold, and where my new one is slated to go sometime this month or next.
anyhow, here's the link. the interview's pretty cool, and my song was the first one played!! w00t

Sorry to cause such consternation. I got this 'fact' from a blog, thought it interesting and posted it. Naturally I didn't bother to check its veracity...

there was an article in my local newspaper a while back about this guy...
MAN IS THAT FUCKING COOL..
CHECK OUT THE PICS SECTIONS.

there was this other guy who was doing the same thing except he would pre-determine his destinations by utilizing the internet. People would message him via web site with offers of hospitality. He would take them up on it and line his dates up to correspond with his trip. He'd stay at each place for just a short time, maybe a couple of days. Of course like this guy he would document his journey and update his website.

Of course I can't remember the web site.

I read that yesterday.

and that *IS* scary. All I got to say, NOT WHEN I WAS IN HIGHSCHOOL.

Ignorance is Frightening, and this:
"In his second inaugural address, President George W Bush said the survival of liberty in the US depended on the success of liberty abroad."
is positively chilling.

wrong thread..

i avoid the political threads on purpose. ("^_^)

Justin Thyme for valentimes.

A friend gave me a bear for my birthday(which falls on Valentines day-I get less presents ) that said "U r teh 1337est chick i no" on a little heart it was holding. It's very adorable.

oh teh noes!
l33t has been commercialised! now what am I gonna turn to? emo culture?

...well, I guess Gothic Workshop cashed in on that years ago...

1337?

...Translation for the Old Fart, please...

It's a reference to the year the titles "Duke" and "Dutchess" were first used, wich, as you know, were popularised in the american hit songs "Pass The Dutchie" and "Duke of Earl."

Slang is weird here.

oh, I mean here's the real, long, horrible answer.
