(OT) OK last one -g- EXHIBIT 2: Dennis Lillee

Lillee: Poms second best
news.bbc.co.uk

Now why would this guy call British people "POMS"????

The answer is simple my friends. Not only has this person been throwing cricket balls at British people, many times causing painful injuries, but is also an example of how "reason" can be completely wrong.

Back in the Victorian age Britain would send it's criminals to Australia. To anyone born in Australia, the only people they met from Britain were criminals. Therefore it was a nation of criminals....

POMS, Prisoners OF her Majesty (Queen of England)

and therefore everyone there was a "POM".

I gonna complain to the European Government about Lillie and have him deported -lol-

Yep, one can argue that every major genius paradigm shift was 'mystical'... of course that's just a 'word', and one written in a negative script on many peoples hard drives. We could just say non-scientific.
