Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 7: Roys FFC v Coney Island Warriors at Brunswick Junction Oval

[Mobbs]

2nd page in… this must be a record for me

Mysteriously prompt appearance! Scared now.

 

[_Mike_]

The only actual veritable "dungeon" in Sweet is under Abdu Prison, where various cells bear the names of some permabanned ex-players.

Abdu? Is that some Somalian Jail ?

 

[_Mike_]

Anyway, I think I’ll be playing in the ruck, forward line , centre, or orange boy this week.

 

[Mobbs]

Abdu? Is that some Somalian Jail ?

Abdu Prison is the home ground of the Baghdad Bombers. The team sprung out of the Abu Grange suburb where Abdu Prison sits. The same prison also once hosted a team called the "Correctional Facility Staff Social League" which was later renamed the Mod Squad

Strange things indeed. You never know what you’re going to get with the Roys

You only want one of those? I was about to jot you down for all four.
DERRINALPHIL and SpecialBruce might have something to say about you pinching their spots tho!

Oooo doesn't look like there are any clues or fingerprints to be processed, just another bloodless crime on the SFA. Phft back to my own thread then. False alarm there Dins.

Ahhh. I never really got into the minecraft SFA world/landscape

Somewhere where I can get more than 20 DFA points is a good start

Try the ruck - you'll be up against a two-feet tall potato* who the coach sends to the bench/other position within the first ten minutes.

Evening Wazzas, it's another week of me telling you about who this week's opponents are by way of an entry from the Quinness World Records book of world records.

This week we're playing the Roys, the self-proclaimed (and universally acknowledged) retirement home of Sweet. I was considering telling you about the oldest thing in the universe apart from Mobbs but that would have meant me going all Neil DeGrasse Tyson on your arses and I hate that guy for killing Pluto so I decided against it*. Instead I'll tell you about the oldest people.

The oldest verified person in history was Jeanne Louise Calment who lived in Arles, France from 21/02/1875 to 4/08/1997, making her 122 years and 164 days old when she died. She was a bit of a hottie back in the 19th century too, check out this sepia action:


[Pictured - Jeanne Calmert aged 20 in 1895, quite the SILF]

The oldest verified male in history (quite a way down the list of oldest people) was Jiroemon Kimura who lived in Kyoto, Japan from 19/04/1897 to 12/6/2013, making him 116 years and 54 days old when he pined for the fjords.

Unverified on the other hand? Hoboy! Azerbaijani Mahmud Eyvanzov was claimed by Soviet media to be 152 years old when he died in 1960. National Geographic believed that countryman Shirali Muslimov was 168 years & 162 days old when he shuffled off this mortal coil, while Time magazine had Li Ching-Yuen somewhere between 196 & 256 years old when he joined the Choir Immortal in 1933.

Go further back into antiquity and things get even more hog wild! Dangun, the first ruler of Korea, was apparently 1908 years old. There was a Persian Shah named Zahhak that was 1000, Tiresias the blind seer of Thebes was over 600 and Peng Zu lived over 800 years during the Yin Dynasty.

But you'll find the creme de la creme in religion. There's the blokes back in the Old Testament who kicked it beyond 900 years including Methuselah (969), Jared (962), Noah (950), Adam (930) & Seth (912). Islam had Abdul Azziz al-Hafeed al-Habashi who lived for 674 years, and the Sikhs has Baba Biram Das who lived 321 years. Then there a HUGE step up to these faiths. Buddhism had Vipassi & Tanhankara who lived for 100,000 years each. The Hindu god-king Rama was 11,000 and his dad Dasharatha lasted more than 60,000 while Ikshvaku king Bhagiratha lived for more than 360,000 years. The Tirthankaras of Jainism take the cake though, with 12 of them living over 10,000 years with the longest being Shretansanatha who was said to have lived for over 8,400,000 years before his ascension. He must have had a crazy big superannuation plan! Deified people in Taoism even claim to be xian, which is to achieve immortality. Vampires essentially. Like Blacula, but he died.

So there you go Wazzas, get yourself in a religious text and you can live for ages. Enjoy the week with the oldies at the Brunswick Junction Oval, and be patient with them as they tell you shit like when they used to wear onions on their belts, which was the style at the time.

































* OK I'll tell you - the controversial answer is BD+17°3248, a Population II ultra-metal-poor star estimated to be 13.8 billion Gyrs old but with an uncertainty of 4 billion Gyrs. The oldest thing without the uncertainty is 2MASS J18082002−5104378 which comes in at 13.535 Gyrs. I was always a Bill Nye person anyway, he never believed all that Pluto erasure slander.

Proprietorship graph by suburb, Docklands 4th (recently overtaken by Sweet CBD due to handing out all the floors of Guns Towers to firesale winners).

Am I the only one amused that the shortest bar on the graph is "The Heights"?

I don't want no urban development in Fulmina, it'll wreck the vibe of the suburb. Mobbs I might have to tell you my plan for Fulmina.
