Unintentional Humour

While the kids were playing at the Darling Harbour Tumbalong Park, we engaged in some people watching and found a family that provided some serious unintended comedy. Keep in mind that it was only about 105 degrees outside with 95% relative humidity. As this family was preparing to leave, the women loaded one of their children into a "bubble boy" backpack. And in a nod to equal rights, the gentleman wrapped a cloth around himself and loaded their 4-year-old into his MANsupial pouch. We thought that a call into child protective services might be in order, but got caught up in discussion of whether the family was more likely from Queensland or Tasmania. See in Australia all of the "news of the weird" seems to come from one of these two states. John actually thinks that they should start a game show called "Queenslander or Taswegian". Contestants would score points by correctly identifying in which of these states a strange news event occurred. The US equivalent, although not quite analogous, would be "Mississippian or Northern Idahoan".
