In other words, you don't get the fact that there's countries other than Australia. God you're pathetic. Even by Australian standards.
eh no you silly little git... just that with the release of the "black swan" book all the overblown hoopla from the media seeming to call every second even slightly less than normal thing a "black swan" incident.... yet for us black swan is a normal, almost every day, thing.. in fact right now as I type if I turn my head to the right I can see the very river named after these swans and as I walked in to my office an hour ago I walked past no less than 3 black swans... there probably were more but, meh, why count? they are ubiquitous, always there on the foreshore, watching the commuters, like oversized pigeons and I doubt many people who've lived their life in London or New York even notice pigeons
so yes we know other people in the deep dark past of european history were unable to think of the unthinkable occurrence of black swans but it just seems weird...
