Does every school student in Australia have this assignment or something‽

This topic is brought up so often that it is not even funny any more. It is very frustrating seeing it (usually more than once) every single day.

Please. Just type 'exotic' into search. You'll get hundreds.

Flick through Tim Low's "Feral Future" books, they are a must read if you want to have half an idea on the topic.
