With Christmas coming up and other dodgier religious days in its vicinity, some interesting statistics on mystical beliefs have been released by Nielsen and published by SMH. Australians…

Believe in - a god: 68%, life after death: 53%, Heaven: 56%, Hell: 38%, The Devil: 37%, angels: 51%, witches: 22%, UFOs: 34%, astrology: 41%, psychic powers such as ESP: 49%, miracles: 63%, Evolution: 42%.

Believe that- The Holy Book is the word of God: 34%, The Holy Book is literally true: 27%, The teachings of my religion have only one interpretation: 21%, There is – or seems to be – no god: 30%.

It’s troubling to think that such a generally-well-educated country is home to so many people with baseless beliefs. Some interesting comparisons to make are Hell/The Devil versus God’s existence, psychic powers over evolution and the appearance that more people believe that God wrote the bible than those who believe it’s correct. Australia’s official sheep count has now gone from 101 to 112 million - God help us all?

An egyptian woman on YouTube has been, for a long time, posting slanderous videos about everything race-related that comes out of Australia. Most of the videos offer a good laugh and perhaps while you’re at it, leave a comment for her.

The official CrazyNoonga YouTube channel has been quiet for some time now but here’s an update pack (15MB Zip) of new material that wasn’t released by Nigel but stars him.

For those that missed the previous MP3 pack, it’s still hosted here.

A  Somalian arrives in  Sydney  as a new immigrant to Australia.
He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says……..
‘Thank you Mr. Australian for letting me in this country, giving me housing, money for food, free medical care, free education and no taxes!’
The passerby says, ‘You are mistaken, I am a Lebanese!’

The man goes on and encounters another passerby. ‘Thank you for having such a  beautiful country here in  Australia ‘
The person says, ‘I not an Aussie, I from Yugoslavian!’

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand  and says, ‘Thank you to the wonderful Australians!’
That person puts up his hand and says, ‘I am from Italy, I am not from Australia!’

He  finally sees a nice lady and asks, ‘Are you an Australian’
She says , ‘No, I am  from Africa!’

Puzzled, he asks her, ‘Where are all the Australians?’
The African lady checks her watch and says …..’Probably at  work’

On this week’s episode of “The War”, there’re two segments about Americans speaking. The first one’s about how they can’t understand English and the second’s about how they’ll speak to death, given the chance. Enjoy:

This week’s episode of The Chaser’s War on Everything had a great skit about the aggression of Israeli soldiers and over-reaction in terrorising their subjugated Palestinians:

The fiasco of defaming The Chaser’s War on Everything has sadly ended in a fortnight’s suspension of the series and regretful apologies from the crew. Even Krudd has jumped onto the slag-off band-wagon; “These guys should get up collectively and hang their heads in shame“. The real source of the fury is uncertain with The War having had countless, clearly more offensive skits including jokes about Steve Irwin’s death and the impact on his daughter as well as the skit that followed the Make-a-Realistic-Wish foundation which made light of the Fritzl children who lived as sex slaves to their incestuous father. Some priorities have to be re-evaluated. The skit in question was merely joking about the extravagance and trouble that the real foundation goes to for dying children when in all honesty, the same funding could save hundreds of lives elsewhere, without celebrities or companies getting free, “noble” advertising for supporting the initiative.

Following the removal of one video, it’s wise to store the conversations before more disappear. All of the conversations available as of the date of this post can be downloaded as MP3s in a 63MB zip file here. This serves as a good way to catch up for those who’re yet to hear them all and can simply queue them up in their media players.

The CrazyNoonga strikes again, ringing Bunning’s Warehouse and an art dealer.
