"FAIL!" isn't the same as Schadenfreude. Rather, it is an expression of Schadenfreude. The English language has a lot of ways to express that feeling (even if we don't have a native word for the feeling itself). There are also lots of non-verbal ways of doing it (pointing and laughing is a long standing traditional example) that are pretty much universal. FAIL is a nice catchall way of expressing it though.

And yes, I suffer from SIWOTI syndrome. Don't you?

Of course, I have the opposite problem - I'm always losing my keys in my handbag, and have ended up favouring huge novelty keyrings in order to make them easy to find.

It's been said already that some chiropractors happen to also be good physio therapists.

I have a friend who is a chiropractor who eventually was forced to start her own clinic because she refused to do kineaseology (i'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong, but whatever).

That's the one where you lie down and hold up your arm and they push your arm down and ask you a question like "did something bad happen do you where you were a teenager" - depending on how hard it is to push your arm down in response to that question, they determine whether they're on the path to working out the trauma that's causing whatever your present health problem is (ie, if it's easy to push down, they're on the right track!).

They keep asking questions until they narrow it down enough that you are supposed to be able to figure it out. In my case apparently all my problems were caused by a falling out I had with a friend when I was 15... "so, did you have any falling outs with friends when you were 15? Right, well, that's the reason why you have a hip problem now you're 32!". Utter utter bullshit.

But she couldn't get a job in an established clinic because she wouldn't practice it!

Sorry to be a pedant, but Australia does not have a Supreme Court. The states and territories have Supreme Courts but Australia, as an entity capable of having a judicial branch, does not.

To increase the pedantry, if you are going to count the State and Territory supreme courts there are actually 9. Norfolk Island has one too.

I am an Australian lawyer and I will endorse what Capsaicin said - a corporation is quite definitely a "person" at law.

It's difficult to pinpoint it as it's a Common Law definition rather that one that's set out in a statute. It's one of those things that just is, with origins in England in about the 15th century.

I know it's not a great piece of proof, but for the sake of simplicity, I offer the definition of "person" in the Australian Corporations Act 2001 which includes a superannuation fund. If it can include a superannuation fund, you can damn well bet it includes a corporation.

In any case there is an avenue for appeal. Leave may be sought for the case to be heard by the High Court which has appellate jurisdiction over the federal court and all states supreme court. This is not overly likely however as the high court rarely accepts matters and the majority of its sittings are to determine constitutional matters.

Actually, the next step would probably be the Federal Court of Appeal.

Then a leave application to the High Court - where each party gets all of 20 minutes to make their case.

Then (iff the leave application is successful) you get a High Court hearing.

I also wouldn't say that the majority of HCA sittings regard constitutional matters. They get a mix of pretty much everything as a quick scan of last years' cases will show. All that immigration stuff is mostly straight admin law rather than anything constitutional.

And yes, IAAAL.

I've been to plenty of places where the toilet separation has broken down after the women get fed up standing in a long queue while there are perfectly serviceable cubicles standing empty through the other door. Usually in busy bars.

There are some places that have unisex bathrooms. They just have floor to ceiling walls and doors for each cubicle to stop the peepers, and the urinals are behind a waist-high wall.

There have been a couple of sexual assaults in them - but I think that there are sexual assaults in split bathrooms too on occasion - it's not like you have to swipe your chromosones at the door to get in.
