Our Friends down under, in Australia {said with an Aussie accent} have decided to rename their favorite meat to something more touristy, ‘Australus’. Yes this is Kangaroo meat and they decided to rename it to make it more appealing to diners. Getting back BBQ’ing, they call it scorching. Nice huh?
Now we all know this one, we usually call our friends or family when we have a BBQ, and stats show that a family of four is far more likely to own a BBQ grill than a single person, maiking it a social affair. Although some sad indviduals may want to BBQ by themselves. To Each his Own.
EXCERPT FROM WIKIPEDIA: In Southern Africa, (South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe), A BBQ also known as A braai is a social occasion that has specific traditions and social norms. In black and white South African culture, women rarely braai (cook) meat at a social gathering, as this is normally the preserve of men. The men gather round the braai or braaistand (the fire or grill) outdoors and cook the food, while women prepare the pap, salads, desserts, and vegetables for the meal in the kitchen. The meal is subsequently eaten outside by the fire/braai, since the activity is normally engaged in during the long summer months. The braaing (cooking) of the meat is not the prerogative of all the men attending, as one person would normally be in charge. He will attend to the fire, check that the coals are ready, and braai (cook) the meat. Other men may assist but generally only partake in fireside conversation. The person in charge is known as the braaier (chef), and if his skills are recognised, could be called upon to attend to the braai (BBQ) at other occasions as well.
Top Reasons that people BBQ:
* Because it tastes so good (more than 80%)
* Requires little cleanup
* Easy, informal way to entertain family and friends
* Being outdoors
* Personal satisfaction

I dont see BBQ’ing on there…pretty safe huh??7 Things You Didn't Know About PETA
I am not a PETA fan they do good but they do bad too they say they are saving the earth but they are eating all the plants...

1 ) According to government documents, PETA employees have killed more than 19,200 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens since 1998. This behavior continues despite PETA’s moralizing about the “unethical” treatment of animals by farmers, scientists, restaurant owners, circuses, hunters, fishermen, zookeepers, and countless other Americans. PETA puts to death over 90 percent of the animals it accepts from members of the public who expect the group to make a reasonable attempt to find them adoptive homes. PETA holds absolutely no open-adoption shelter hours at its Norfolk, VA headquarters, choosing instead to spend part of its $32 million annual income on a contract with a crematory service to periodically empty hundreds of animal bodies from its large walk-in freezer.
2 ) PETA president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk has described her group’s overall goal as “total animal liberation.” This means the complete abolition of meat, milk, cheese, eggs, honey, zoos, aquariums, circuses, wool, leather, fur, silk, hunting, fishing, and pet ownership. In a 2003 profile of Newkirk in The New Yorker, author Michael Specter wrote that Newkirk has had at least one seeing-eye dog taken away from its blind owner. PETA is also against all medical research that requires the use of animals, including research aimed at curing AIDS and cancer.
3 ) PETA has given tens of thousands of dollars to convicted arsonists and other violent criminals. This includes a 2001 donation of $1,500 to the North American Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an FBI-certified “domestic terrorist” group responsible for dozens of firebombs and death threats. During the 1990s, PETA paid $70,200 to Rodney Coronado, an Animal Liberation Front (ALF) serial arsonist convicted of burning down a Michigan State University research laboratory. In his sentencing memorandum, a federal prosecutor implicated PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in that crime. PETA vegetarian campaign coordinator Bruce Friedrich has also told an animal rights convention that “blowing stuff up and smashing windows” is “a great way to bring about animal liberation,” adding, “Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it.”
4 ) PETA activists regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, even waiting outside their schools to intercept them without notifying their parents. One piece of kid-targeted PETA literature tells small children: “Your Mommy Kills Animals!” PETA brags that its messages reach over 1.2 million minor children, including 30,000 kids between the ages of 6 and 12, all contacted by e-mail without parental supervision. One PETA vice president told the Fox News Channel’s audience: “Our campaigns are always geared towards children, and they always will be.”
5 ) PETA’s president has said that “even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it.” And PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, solely because they support animal-based research aimed at curing life-threatening diseases and birth defects. And PETA helped to start and manage a quasi-medical front group, the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, to attack medical research head-on.
6 ) PETA has compared Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust to farm animals and Jesus Christ to pigs. PETA’s religious campaigns include a website that claims—despite ample evidence to the contrary—that Jesus Christ was a vegetarian. PETA holds protests at houses of worship, even suing one church that tried to protect its members from Sunday-morning harassment. Its billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs “died for their sins.” PETA insists, contrary to centuries of rabbinical teaching, that the Jewish ritual of kosher slaughter shouldn’t be allowed. And its infamous “Holocaust on Your Plate” campaign crassly compared the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide to farm animals.
7 ) PETA frequently looks the other way when its celebrity spokespersons don’t practice what it preaches. As gossip bloggers and Hollywood journalists have noted, Pamela Anderson’s Dodge Viper (auctioned to benefit PETA) had a “luxurious leather interior”; Jenna Jameson was photographed fishing, slurping oysters, and wearing a leather jacket just weeks after launching an anti-leather campaign for PETA; Morrissey got an official “okay” from PETA after eating at a steakhouse; Dita von Teese has written about her love of furs and foie gras; Steve-O built a career out of abusing small animals on film; the officially “anti-fur” Eva Mendes often wears fur anyway; and Charlize Theron’s celebrated October 2007 Vogue cover shoot featured several suede garments. In 2008, “Baby Phat” designer Kimora Lee Simmons became a PETA spokesmodel despite working with fur and leather, after making a $20,000 donation to the animal rights group.
In school he introduced himself as Barry, his idol is Stevie Wonder, he was an excellent basketball player, he received a Grammy in 2006.
Barack Obama has become a legend all around the world, although he surely has not got used to it yet. VIPs dedicate him fashion collections, songs, stories, but in the euphoria also the secrets from Reuters, Barack Obama his private life are coming to light. The most interesting one is surely that he won a Grammy!
They called him Alabama and Yo Mamma
Most people know that Obama’s mother is a Caucasian woman form Kansas, and his father a Kenyan. His middle name recalls Saddam’s surname – Hussein, which lately has caused a series of problems due to which, the democrat had to mark the fact he is not a Muslim.
Talking about problems connected to his name, it is interesting that when he was in high school he was ashamed of his name and introduced himself as Barry Obama to everyone. Due to his excellent jumps shot, his basketball team gave him the nickname Barry Bombarder. He said that many called him Alabama or Yo Mamma because it was too complicated for them to remember his exact name.
From his basketball history, we can say that Obama was successful in everything he picked up, and this is confirmed by the fact that he was the first African American president of the Harvard law review. He is also the first African American to be chosen as candidate for the democratic party, that is, the first one to run for president.

In 2006 he won a Grammy
However, the most interesting thing that not many people know about his life, is that he won a Grammy award in 2006. Barack, in fact, published his an audio edition of his book “Dreams from My Father”. For this work he received the Grammy Award for Best Spoken World Album.
In regards to music, Obama is very heterogeneous. He recently revealed to the public that he listens to music on his iPod. He is a great fan of Stevie Wonder, who is also his idol. Then he also listens to Bob Dylan, Jay-Z, Howlin’ Wolf, Sheryl Crow, Yo-Yo Ma, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and the Rolling Stones. From the music taste, we notice that his musical horizons are very wide, just like in politics.
However, there is one thing that is politically incontestable. The programme of healthy breakfast is his “weak point”. He never expressed his position on this issue, and housewife and mothers resent him that because they think that with his influence he could help children and families to have a healthier diet.

His biggest loves are his daughters and wife
Maybe some people consider Obama a rich man, but he is not, at least in a global perspective. He was a millionaire in 2005, but before and after that he never reached this level. However, he often makes donations to charity organisations.
He is probably this kind of person because he cares about children very much, for which he thanks his daughter Malia (9) and Sasha (7). He always says that they and his wife Michelle are his biggest loves of his life, and that he would give everything for them.
These are more or less the unknown and interesting things about Obama’s life, but there are no patches in his past. Either he hides them very well, or he is really a good mama’s boy who will change the USA, and the world.
