Betcha didn't know that Perth is the most isolated city in the world.
I never thought I would see the day when an American would know somthing more than me about my own country, the last time I spoke to an American and told him I was from Australia he asked me in which state was it located (American state).

I learned that fact while doing my searching about Australia. I have a weird fascination with your country. Maybe someday I'll know why.
I bet a lot of non Americans probably know a lot of facts about America that I don't know. I think I take some things for granted, living here. I used to live 15 minutes from Plymouth Rock, and when I tell people in Florida that I lived there, they seem amazed. I guess since I lived there, I really didn't understand the fascination, that people from all over the world have in coming to see a rock.

The Earth is indeed a wonderful planet... The only question that remains is, whether life spontaneously arised only here, or does it spontaneously arise on other planets as well. Hmmm...

Compared to the size of our galaxy, that's actually quite close enough. A few dozens of thousand miles more or less...
