Don't have kids, they kill you

The sun is SHINING! What could be better than that? Today the kids get to find out the answers to the questions I asked about the First Fleet last week. I bet they can't wait. Imagine having to wait an entire week to find out how many ships were involved in the perpetration of white Australia.

Last night yet another couple were stabbed to death by their own son. That seems to happen a lot here. I figure as long as I don't have children my chances of being murdered here are about as low as my chances of flying to the moon this year. The best bit was that the reporter went down to the scene of the crime, but for legal reasons (I assume) they are unable to show the actual house, so she is standing against a backdrop of fuzzed out streetscape which leaves me wondering what the point of her going down to the actual scene is. To add to the mystery she speaks in hushed tones, as though they are broadcasting from the actual funeral or something. Bizarre. So far no word as to why he did it, but I am betting it was an arugment about either work or study. ie. him not doing any and his parents wanting him to.
