What if you lived in Australia?

You aussies are all nuts, but I can understand. You live in a country where every time you step outside from you house or flat there is some type of wildlife trying to kill you. That would make anyone go bonkers!

Well, it's true they have a terrifying number of dangerous wild beasts. But America is worse. Their wild beasts are human, they have firearms, and they kill thousands every year

Not that I'd live in either country, but Australia seems safer

Melbourne 'world's most liveable city' for seventh year running

True, I put Melbourne down at times, but only because I'm not a city type, never will be ... I'd say the same if I lived in any city anywhere in the world

Mercer put Melbourne at a more believable sixteenth place.

'The Guardian's' (E.I.U) survey fails to take into account a failing rail infrastructure, among other things.

The enormous gravity pull of this metal would crush them. How do they get around that? And their ship would have sucked the pulsar on to the outsides of their ship, since nothing can penetrate it.

Then when they got to earth, it would do the same thing.

You're forgetting one thing. This is an alloy of Neutronium, not Neutronium itself, and these aliens come from a civilization millions of years old. They have discovered scientific secrets that are so fantastic that to us they might seem like magic. And one more thing fellow forum fella:

It is a work of science fiction/fantasy: It does not have to make scientific sense!
