An Australian polling group has put political issues aside for the moment and conducted a survey on something truly useful: which profession has the most sex.

The poll, conducted by Galaxy Research, was generally aimed at discovering who has most job satisfaction, with the sex regularity question considered a major component.

The result, without a word of a porky pie, was butchers. They are "the happiest employees in the workforce — and they're having the most sex" the poll said. Seventy-six per cent of butchers surveyed beat the respondent average in terms of feeling healthier, laughing more at work and having more sex.

Butchers didn't just win, they romped it in, reporting they they enjoy a staggering 60 per cent more sex than other workers. More than half the 295 butchers surveyed had no sick leave last year and 60 per cent described their work as fun. How they described their sex was not stated.

At the other end of the office contentment and bedroom excitement equation were service station attendants and bank tellers.

Fathers and sons on side

November 9th 2008 21:03

Most weekends you'll only find seven names on the list for the Pine Rivers Hawks cricket team in Queensland. But that's okay because those seven blokes always bring their seven sons so they have more than enough to take the field.

Two of them, Darren Reilly and his son Jake, 13, open the bowling. Darren, who played before bigger crowds in his AFL days with the (then) Brisbane Bears, says Jake reminds him every morning who has taken more wickets.

Also in the team are Bruce and Chris Stone, Brett and Ashley Mears, Russ and Matthew Dunne, Peter and Matt Bartlett, and Randy and Ryan Kay.

“The kids enjoy it. They try to run us (dads) to death but I think it’s the dads that get the most out of it,” says Darren. “To be able to play sport with your kid is just terrific."

Grill ride

July 15th 2008 07:03

How much can a koala bear? Quite a lot, according to a story from Queensland, Australia, today.

A male koala who for reasons which will become apparent has been named Lucky, was hit today by a car doing sufficient speed for Lucky's head and one arm to be rammed through the radiator grill. And there he stayed, as the unsuspecting driver drove on.

Both Reuters and Australian Broadcasting Commission reports of the story say the car was doing 100 km/h when it struck Lucky, and that he wasn't discovered until the woman driver pulled into Petrie train station 12km down the road. Neither version of the story explains how the woman knew she was doing that speed, and travelled that distance, if she wasn't aware she'd hit Lucky in the first place.

But let's not compromise a good story by questioning facts.

The embedded koala, who is three years old if you believe the ABC and eight years old if you believe Reuters, was spotted once the car on which he was travelling stopped. At first, it was thought he'd been decapitated, but once it was determined that there was still a head on Lucky's shoulders, staff at the Australian Wildlife Hospital on the Sunshine Coast were called.

They extricated him, took him to intensive care, gave him a headache pill and a few pats, and watched him sit up 45 minutes later and take food. They said Lucky will be back in the bush in about 45 days.
