and on a serious note,

You're right, Aussie police have arrested 18 muslims (from Sydney + Melbourne), alledgedy planning to blow some aussies to "smitherines" as quoted on the front page of the paper... The media is fully into it, no doubt its going to cause problems with racism between muslims and 'aussies'...
There's quite a bit of hoopla surrounding it over here - the government have just rushed through changes to legislation regarding terrorism, 2 days after it was passed - bam. Gotcha terrorist psychos. - all a bit sus.
Don't really know what to make of it, these dudes arrested just seem like pretty confused /fanatical fundamentalists... I don't know. hmmm. Bang.
