Rogir:Yes, but you are walking upside-down all the time. In Europe every nation has healthcare and welfare programs, and it's not making us any poorer. And of course Champions League football!Yeah but because we're walking upside-down all the time we have more blood in our brains therefore making us smarter............. or it just means that we have red faces.
And we have the best food source on the planet - kangaroos! yum!
EDIT: Ah damn I forgot the Netherlands has windmills! OK you win!

Miland:What does kangaroo meat taste like? Don't you feel bad about eating Skippy, if it's not peanut butter?It's like pork crossed with beef cross with lamb chops. It's alright meat, and it's healthier than beef, cheeper, and we also have much more kangaroos than cattle and they are by no means under threat as a species. And they die a much better death than cows - they're shot by skilled shooters at night, cows are instead killed by electricity (sorry for all those who have been put off) so I don't know why animal rights people are so angry at Aussies for eating roo and not so much for beef. Additionally, we have to cull kangaroos anyway because they overpopulate like rabbits - BIG RABBITS!
Now to link this into Esperanto: I get why 'makropo' is the word for kangaroo in the lernu vortaro, but wouldn't 'kangaruo' be sooo much more understandable tutmonde?

The Wells vortaro kas makropo in the E-o/English part and kanguruo in the English/-o part!

"Makropo" seems to relate to the family/group.

It's funny that 'Wells' changes, I find that a frustrating fact among most bilingual dictionaries that some definitions exist one way but not the other (particularly if you have seen a Lonely Planet phrasebook)

I have made it in order to help reintroduce Oleg's Idea in the 3 top (as you know, now we are in the fourth position).
I sent it to my esperantist colleagues by email, in the hope to start a chainletter. Maybe you could do the same. What do you think?
In the text of the email, I stressed that:
- Perhaps the idea is not very realist, but the fact is that the more votes it will get, the more people will receive positive messages about Esperanto.
- Everyone can vote, and it is free and painless.
