Better to be a Lawyer in America than US... but even surgeons in Australia squeak out a little higher in Australia than the U.S.

But that's really not the point, is it? Australians tell us to shut up because theirs are double the cost of ours. I have just shown that they DO earn more than us.

Lest anyone read of someone from Australia state that they pay twice as much for TFs than in America, know this: that the current rate of exchange places Australias dollar as being equal to that of the USD, and that Australia minimum wage is double that of the United States.

I saw you thought DotM should have gotten the Best Sound Oscar. Just wondering why you thought that? Probably because I don't necessarily pay much attention to the sound mix when I see movies. I don't think I've ever really understood what that Oscar is given for. What made DotM stand out?
