My Australian Driver's Licence

Well this is yet another one of those funny australian experiences that i wont forget in a hurry. I decided to get an Australian driver's licence. So after going to the police station 5 times and then finally getting hold of them when their open, i asked to apply for the licence. "Not a problem" he said, "all you have to do is fill out this form, sit a 30 question multi choice paper and thats it". So i sat down and started on the questions. Now to my surprise the road rules over here are quite different to ours in New Zealand. So I got stuck on about 6 of them. I told him i was sorry about wasting his time that there were a couple of questions that i wasnt sure of. "No Worries, which ones?" He then, to my surprise, started to explain the answers to me. "Yep there you go, you've passed" he said. He then took my photo, printed a licence out for me, laminated it and sent me on my way. But not before saying to me "There you go doll, i just saved you another $60 cause i up-graded your learner motorbike to a full motorbike licence for you, enjoy the rest of your trip around Australia.
So to sum it all up, after failing my licence, i walked away with an Australian car licence and a full motorbike licence in hand. GO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT!!!!

Are cybercops browser-challenged?
Bloggers and readers commenting on CNET News.com say no. Police and other investigators who examine PCs to uncover Web surfing history just aren't looking in the right places, they say.
I was just playing with blogger and I found your blog. I took a quick look around and it seems pretty interesting. I'd love some feedback on my forex trading course site.
