I've gotten no less than 12 penis enlargement spams this weekend. Someone knows something I don't? "Nature is what we are put on this earth to rise above," one of the e-mails suggested, echoing Katharine Hepburn in The African Queen. Spams and Michael Kirky have a way of popping up at key moments in history, like Forrest Gump. They are obsessed not with sex, but with size and bad sexual timing.

Sex Mexican Judge and Queen Representative Dance All Night

Little did my partner, Johan, and I think, 30 years ago, as we danced the night away ... that we would be at the opening of the Gay Games with the Queen's representative and all of you to bear witness to such a social revolution. Let the word go out from Sydney and the Gay Games of 2002 that the movement for equality is unstoppable, its message will eventually reach the four corners of the world. Be sure that, in the end, inclusion will replace exclusion.

Column 8:     It's one of the great email circulars, and it's been going only two weeks. The 103-year-old Royal Mail Hotel in Meekatharra, Western Australia, a town of some 1500 about 650 kilometres north-east of Perth, for some years has had a discount for Pensioner or Our Family Treat. Whoever keyed it into the cash register had their little joke and added an ER to the acronym, so the charge for items bought with the discount was listed as POOFTER.

No one appears to have taken any notice of it until October 14, when someone, after a bistro meal, got a printed receipt for GST purposes that listed POOFTER DRINK - $3. An image of the receipt has since been flying around the internet, and was sent to us by Andrew McCallum, of Chiswick. Enid, the hotel manager, says she's had 9 million calls, including a good-natured one from the gays and lesbians, who said they'd send busloads up to have a poofter drink. The drink? A straight can of Swan. And, says Enid, the key is now off the cash register.


Science Ozie Scientist claims secret of perfect way to urinate

An Australian scientist claims he's discovered the perfect way to urinate - and it involves both men and women sitting. It involves basically advising women, and men, in fact, to sit on the toilet with their feet flat on the ground, elbows on their knees, and leaning forward as if they're reading a newspaper on the floor. Professor Ajay Rane looked serious when he said, If the jury comes back saying the hole in the ground is the best way to go, I think some serious decisions will have to be made all over the developed world.
