True story!
Who does Israel belong to?
An Israeli with a sense of humour at the UN has set the record straight.
An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly and made the world community smile. A representative from Israel began:
"Before beginning my talk, I want to tell you something about Moses. When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath!' Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock, and entered the water.
When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Palestinian had stolen them!"
The Palestinian UN representative jumped up furiously and shouted, "What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren't even there then!"
The Israeli representative smiled and said, "And now that we have made that perfectly clear, I will begin my speech ..."

Aw yes. Australia wasn't British then either.
I did hear there are plans afoot to return it to the Aboriginal folks.
Something about lacking power to maintain possession?

The singer went on to become an Environment, Heritage and Arts Minister in a Labor government: You suppose that the UK or Ireland will TAKE HIM BACK?

Australian birds have weaponized fire because what we really need now is something else to make us afraid "Raptors, including the whistling kite, are intentionally spreading grass fires in northern Australia, the paper argues. The reason: to flush out prey and feast." nationalpost.com/news/world/australian-birds-have-weaponized-fireYou mean like we supposedly did when we still roamed the savannas and plains. Many birds are smart. If a parrot can learn to talk, I see no reason that some equally intelligent set of birds couldn't learn to start fires for a meal. That's great stuff. Just don't piss 'em off (in the American parlance ).

I just received an email from a Nigerian prince saying that he has cancelled my five million dollar check due to Trump's disrespectful comments towards his sh1tholecountry.

How to Falsify (or not) the S___hole Null Hypothesis
Go hang out in coastal Honduras (La Ceiba will do) for a while. Your life insurance company will cancel your policy.
