Iron Man vs. Batman
Who would win in a fight to the death between Batman and Iron Man? It's already been established that both Batman and Iron Man would each win in a fight to the death between themselves and every single Power Ranger. But who would win between the two of these titans? How would we even find out?
Canadian Horses
Recently, in legal studies, myself and another girl in my class, Alex started discussing (for some unknown reason) whether or not animals could talk. And we eventually decided that yes, they can, but only to each other. As in, they have their own unique language that we don't really understand fully. Then I thought well, if animals can talk to each other, does that mean that, like humans, animals from different countries speak different dialects? I decided, after much consideration, that yes, they do. I based this conclusion on the results of a recent study that involved gathering several cats from different countries in the world (France, England, America, Italy and China) and it turned out, they all had different accents when they mewed.
Later in the same class, we were reviewing the Canadian constitution. In their Constitution, they have a charter of rights and freedoms. And one section in this charter is language rights. Covered in this section is the right to use either English or French in any formal legal setting, and also the right for children to be educated in either language. So then I was discussing with Sam, how hilarious it would be if a judge didn't speak French, and either the plaintiff or defendant were speaking French. And then I thought that it was probably a pre-requisite for Candian judges to speak both English and French. Or that they would get an interpreter. But that also got me thinking, do the Canadian mounties also speak both English and French? And what if a mountie only spoke French, but his horse only spoke English?! Then the mountie would tell the horse to go one way and the horse would have no clue what was going on. Can Candian horses even speak French?
Well, in the end, I guess that's probably why they use reins rather than verbal commands.

Computer Trouble and Carbonara
Well, It's been a while since I last blogged. And I do have a good reason other than 'I got lazy'.
Firstly, my computer got a virus or something and the entire hard drive got corrupted and I lost everything, then while trying to piece together the information I'd lost, my fan broke somehow. And because it's a laptop, the fan is incredibly expensive to buy. So despite the fact that I could fix it if I had the fan, it shall remain broken, and my Xbox 360 shall remain the only form of communication I have to any of my internet friends. Which generally includes all the people I don't hate talking to. Thank God for Bill Gates.
So Anyway, Pace was nice enough to not only make me delicious Fettucini Carbonara tonight, but also allow me to use his computer to blog (and read fan fiction! ^^). And we all know how much he usually hates anyone using his computer, so I am eternally in his debt. Especially considering Blogger is blocked from the TAFE computers so the only other place I possibly could blog is the library, and they only give you half an hour, which really isn't enough time to write inspired creations.
But over the past months when I have been unable to blog (Or watch porn, for that matter), I have come up with quite a few topics to blog about, so there will be quite a bit of reading material.
