   Actually, come to think of it, that one I do understand.  It was an   
   Australian business man, Allen Bond, if I remember correctly, who first   
   thought of taking the alcohol out of beer, calling it something else and   
   selling it to the Muslims.  Now that's lateral thinking!  He made a mint   
   (to add to the one he already had).  He also won the America's Cup from   
   the Yanks, for the first time ever, breaking their (with the aide of   
   much cheating and rule changing) 132 year winning streak.  Designed by   
   Ben Lexon, the Australia II, was the first boat ever, to have a "winged   
   keel".  And while we are on the subject of beer, an Aussie named James   
   Harrison in 1856 invented the world's first fridge.  He invented it to   
   keep beer cold, and Australians are eternally grateful! (-:
