Famous Fifteens!

- There's the Fifteen Foundation Australia --- which is Jamie Oliver's 'helping young people become chefs and get them off crack' thing....

- Some guy or band called Aidan wrote a song called Fifteen... and if I could get youtube at work I'd watch it and make some hilarious comment. But alas, I cant.

- There was that episode of Sesame Street that was brought to you by 15. Big bird was especially good in that one, and Oscar was very grouchy.

- Dont forget about Section 15 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901: Amending Act to be contrued with amended Act -- Every Act amending another Act shall, unless the contrary intention appears, be construed with such other Act and as part thereof. ...handy stuff to know.





- Randy Mark Yager is number 15 on the US Marshal's Most Wanted Fugitives list. Its believed that the Outlaw Motorcycle Club continue to assist Yager in his run from justice in Chicago. He has been on the run for 11 years now but is wanted for offenses including murder, arson, possession and use of explosives, possession and trafficking in counterfeit U.S. currency, robbery, burglary, trafficking in stolen motor vehicles, and narcotics violations. Most hilariously there is a picture of the woman he is associated with on the US Marshal's website:


Pauline Hanson! I guess we can let the Marshal know that Yager must be white then.

- Apollo 15. It landed on the moon. But lets face it, we all lost interest after Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon.

- 15 Steps by Radiohead from the album In Rainbows. I love a song that actually has the lyrics "et cetera, et cetera"

- 15 minutes. Ask any Big Brother / Australian Idol / Reality TV in general about what this means to them.

- The F-15 Eagle. Oh man, this one is a good one.... it's an all weather, extremely maneuverable, tactical fighter. High thrust-to-weight ratio... wait, are we still talking about the airplane?

- CrimeTracker15: subsiduary of NBC Madison - Channel 15. Todays CrimeTracker15 Update: 'Decaying Corpse On Toilet' ... I shit you not! Oh man, the more I read on this one the more hilarious it becomes! The woman 'hiding' the corpse on the toilet is Tammy Lewis, formerly known as Sister Mary Bernadett - member of religious cult 'Order of the Divine Will' - what is this will...?? Wipe from front to back?? More like divine willpower - because with the toilet occupied, the 'Sister' and her kids were using a bucket in a wardrobe. Ohhh it all becomes clear - they didnt move the body because the cult leader told them the dead woman would come back to life if they prayed hard enough. Perhaps she died doing that very thing on the toilet, if you know what I mean.

- Area15: 3 young dudes in a band - sound like they are from the UK and grew up listening to Good Charlotte and Goldfinger with a twist of Avril Lavigne. HAHA metros.

- Oh The 15th Century! The Great Age for Discoveries. Domestic clocks and globes were invented!

- The 15th Amendment to the American Constitution is pretty topical at the moment: declaring that the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

- Most Importantly... above fugitives, TV stations and restaurants - and oh so cleverly coming in at Number 15: FIFTEEN DAYS TO GO!

  1. mare, it's very important that you include the definition of fifteen, or else people might get totally confused and think you actually mean 50, 57 or 146,732.

    –noun
    1. a cardinal number, ten plus five.
    2. a symbol for this number, as 15 or XV.
    3. a set of this many persons or things.
    –adjective
    4. amounting to 15 in number.
    Origin:
    bef. 900; ME, OE fiftene. See five, -teen

    now, go forth in fifteen understanding.
