They added the smell to it after a school blew up in America after a gas leak and killed most of the kids.

Did you know they had to build a deliberate glitch into the landing software for the A380 because it was so accurate repeated landings would wear a hole through the tarmac?

No!!!!!!!! I did not. But that is an awesome piece of trivia.

Did you know there actually already is an old trainstation under Melbourne Airport. And a tunnel that goes out to near Doncaster etc

 

[Spazz Cat]

Also most people know this. But the Westgate Bridge is f**ked. There is a team working 24/7 just to keep the thing up.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Also I've mentioned this one before, but John Setkas Dad was the guy who surfed his way down on the concrete and lived when it first collapsed.

Good grief.

It won't. Hopefully lol. They're building the tunnel which hopefully will take the load off.
But then again they'll probably charge too much for tolls so it probably won't.
