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!

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?

Maybe I will try it one day.

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

My main dictionary ("Vocabolario Italiano-Esperanto", Carlo Minnaja, CoEdEs 1996) allows for both terms, giving precedence to kangaruo.

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

Cheers Miland and mnlg.

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)

Note to all who this matters to: Esperanto is now third in Education with 500+ votes (as opposed to 1st). If you support this site and the idea then I suggest that you vote. And if you don't think the site will work, vote anyway because who knows, maybe Obama will really consider this.

Toodaloo

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.
Cheers!

It's kind of ironic: it's 4th in education, but has improved to 18th overall from around the 30s.
