Is the first one Lithgow?

Cartoon reminded me of the story about a little boy and his mother sitting in church, listening to a sermon.  The pastor said that God told Lot to take his wife and flee into the desert, then described what happened afterwards.

The little bloke was horrified, especially the bit about Lot's wife being turned into a pillar of salt.  He had only one question for his Mum:  "What happened to the flea?"

Premisses would be worth a squint, too.

You’d think, at this time of year, I might have come up with TRINITY. Maybe I just have more AFFINITY with the Easter eggs 😋 than the religious bit?

Or a nuclear weapons test!

I agree re sophomore, which while infrequently used in Australia, was certainly a surprise to me as uncommon.

That said, as the complete antithesis of a mesomorph, when I chanced upon it, I did at least recognise it.
What he said.

So, is a muleteer a follower of Mickey Mule?
Only for those who remember Annette Funicello!

Legal term in Oz, used in relation to native title. Dunno if it's used elsewhere.

TY.  Lower-case h is widely used in Oz.  In some places hakea's considered a noxious weed.  However, it's anything but in Perth.  I have a pimelia, three francisiana and two bucculenta bucculenta out the front.  The birds love them!

Interesting schematic!  How big is the block?  Does it have any easements?
