For some reason I'm finding this very funny. Mostly the quote:

Sightseers pitched tents alongside roads and crowded parking bays to spend the night waiting to see what the rumbling volcano would do.


I mean, what the hell?!?

I'm all for running the other way myself...

Then again last time Mt St Helens erupted they had quite a few deaths from people refusing to leave so maybe there's just something in the water.

Not my election thank God

This is just bizarre.

How hard is it to do this kind of shit?!?!

Compare this to the Victorian Senate ballot (probably the most confusing of the Australian ballot papers), which is still easier to follow.

Honestly, up until I was in the US during the 2000 Election I seriously thought they just ticked boxes. Which would be easier, when all's said and done. I really thought voting machines were SF. Bizarre.

Still, it was interesting seeing the different elections close up. Quite often you don't realise what you're assuming until you see how different it all is.
