Last month, the UN conducted a global survey:

"Please give us your honest opinion about a solution to the Food Shortages in the Rest of the World."

The poll turned out, not unexpectedly, to be a huge flop.

Why?

-In Africa, participants didn't know what 'food' was.

-Russia didn't know what 'honest' meant.

-Western Europe did not know the word 'Shortage '.

-The Chinese did not know what 'opinion' was.

-The Middle East asked what 'solution' meant.

-South America did not know the meaning of 'please'.

-In North Korea they ate the survey sheet.

-Switzerland didn't want to give anything for free.

-And in the USA, no one knew what 'the rest of the world' was.

As an Australian, it's just strange that people build housing estates on the most arable land all over this world. It's like someone did their best to put the idiots in charge of this world. Why would you vote for any of these people? What crazy nation thinks Putin is someone to obey, and even look up to?! How is Biden the best choice among all those candidates? Crazy, crazy world!

Yeah we need space travel. Mostly just to escape the cuckoo's nest we have on this planet.
