Shouts From Down Under

Lions or lambs, geeks or orangutangs, say it the way it is

Children say it how it is. Blunt, but you know where you stand.

Is that our way of writing? Do we say what we mean? How many times do you have to correct your sentences backwards, so that it doesn't read like it's come out of your mind mirror reverse? It has to make sense to others, if we are writing for, and to others.

Animals can be a bit the same. If you provide food, or something else they need / want, everyone's happy. Look out if you get between them and their food or young ones though. It's just how it is. Nature's way.

There is the law of the jungle. Someone told me recently that a hunting Lion will leave prey if, in it's efforts to sneak up, it is discovered by the prey and caught redhanded. I'm not sure if this is true. After looking at the following link, perhaps its a ridiculous statement.

Speaking of geeks, I always thought geeks referred to those who used computers a lot and know how to fix them, and other stuff such as reading books, sitting in libraries, having pens in their shirt pocket along with a pocket protector, and generally writing stuff.

But the site appears to cater for many different geek needs / requirements, not just computer programmer / scientist / clerk type person.
