Early on in my time in Australia they taught us the New Zealand motto:

New Zealand. . . where the men are men and the sheep are scared

That very well may be the case, I do know they have a **** load of sheep there haha

As of 2007 the population of NZ was 4 million. There were 39 million sheep. That's in an area of 103 thousand square miles.

Before we get cocky:

In 2017 the population of Iowa was barely over 3 million. There were 21.8 million hogs in an area of 56 thousand square miles.

I love Iowa, but hog $#!+ smells much worse.

We should be harvesting that methane because...

So Iowa has slightly more hogs per square mile than NZ and slightly more people per hog than NZ has people per sheep. I bet NZ has way more Hobbits per person and per square mile.

Also, I should probably be putting these math/statistical skills to better use working on these government contracts but this IA/NZ/AUS/hog/sheep/punter discussion is way more interesting.

Looking forward to having you on campus. You will get a nice first taste of our fans when you get to watch basketball and experience Hilton Magic.

Have you ever kicked in a stadium with a jumbotron in your line of sight? I've always wondered if it would distract a kicker.

I learned from the commercial that a duck is when a batsman gets out before scoring any runs. If it was on the first bowled ball (pitch) it would be a golden duck.

That is about the extent of what I can decipher.

Oh, by the way, this is Cricket speak.

If you get four golden ducks in a row is it a platinum duck or a golden sombrero duck? Maybe a golden goose?
