Apparently Australia has the solution to joint aches associated with old age.

[Eumenides]

I saw this hillarious article that was telling Americans that the secret to alleviating joint aches and pains associated with old age could be found amongst Aboriginees (sp?) in Australia. The funny thing about the article was that it said the lack of aches and pains could be attributed to the foods they eat...that are NATIVE TO AUSTRALIA AND CAN'T BE FOUND IN THE US.

So, here's my solution. Everyone younger than 50 should live here, and upon their 50th birthday, be shipped to Australia where they can live off these herbs and oats they mentioned. Wouldn't that work?

Okay, It was a long night. Forgive me.

ROTFLMAO...you should have seen me trying to explain timtams to my castmates. Since I've never had them it's like third hand knowledge...they looked at me like I was crazy. Wish you guys were around for me to make my jokes about timtams being the solution.

Silly me. When I read the thread title I thought sure the answer was "amputation."

That's a question even an australian has trouble explaining. The best explanations I have heard have been from Nora and Girly. So, I guess you're barking up the right tree.

Wait, those first two sentences contradicted each other!

They're chocolate wafer cookies with chocolate sandwiched between them, then coated with chocolate.

There are other varieties, but that's the original combo.

well, most people eat them. But whatever you wanna do with cookies is your own call.

According to my authority on OZ culture and foods, timtams are biscuits. Don't ask me...I'm just a silly American.
