Really? By whose criteria?
They can't be including psychological fitness, surely?
e.g. "God told me to go to war in Iraq" etc etc
 
The worlds tallest ever tree was a Mountain Ash ( Blackbutt ) "Eucalyptus regans" and was at Thorpdale South in Gippsland, Victoria. It stood at 114.4 metres high.

Or was it? They say a Mountain Ash at Baw, Baw, Victoria was 143 metres in 1885.

Or was it? They say that a Mountain Ash at Watts River was 150 metres tall.

**You may know better**

We had a sunflower that reached 6.3 metres in 1976. Can you beat that?

Wayne, you've referred to this previously. Do you have a reference for it?
I have a rather distant memory of hearing him say this in an interview a few years back.
 
I've remembered where I heard this. It was in an interview with Bob Woodward (of Watergate fame), being interviewed after the release of his book "Bush at War". Woodward spent considerable time with GWB and people who were close to him and formed the clear impression that he is entirely convinced about the righteousness of his mission!

Did you know that by using the following link you can use a proxy server to hide your IP address when you wish to do so, for free. http://proxify.com/ ( I know that those who use AOL are automatically using the internet by various proxy servers in the USA and that speeds up surfing. AOL users can cancel the proxy server, as I have done, by going to "Keyword Live". )

No one appears to know the exact number of Islands and maybe it's about time someone did an exact count.
