Well played QLD, makes the last game all the more exciting
Here's something I was forwarded at uni (grrr) for all you QLDers ~
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six
days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him on the seventh day
resting.
He enquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God pointed downwards through the clouds. "Look Michael, look what I've
made" said God. Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is
it?"
"Its a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call
it Earth and its going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing down to different parts of the Earth, "For
example, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth
while South America is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will
be a hot spot and Russia will be a cold spot. Over there I've placed a
continent of white people and over there is a continent of black
people." God continued, pointing to the different countries. "This one
will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and
covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to another area of
land and asked, "What's that?"
"Ah," said God. "That's Queensland, the most glorious place on
earth. There are beautiful people, impressive towns; it is the home of
the world's finest artists, musicians, writers, thinkers, explorers and
politicians. The people from Queensland are going to be modest,
intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the
world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving,
and they will be known throughout the world as speakers of truth."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed,"What about
balance God, you said there will be BALANCE!"
God replied very wisely, "Wait till you see the wankers I'm putting next
to them in New South Wales."
