"Mimis are fairy-like beings of Arnhem Land in the folklore of the Indigenous Australians of northern Australia. They are described as having extremely thin and elongated bodies, so thin as to be in danger of breaking in case of a high wind. To avoid this, they usually spend most of their time living in rock crevices. They are said to have taught the Aborigines of Australia how to hunt, prepare kangaroo meat and use fire. They are like humans but they live in a different dimension. They were depicted during the freshwater period (1200 kya).

Their name might come from the song of a Zebra Finch."

So for the xteenth zillion time Blogger has suggested that I can make money by putting ads on my site. Not only ads, but content relevant ads. Oh boy what on Earth would that be? This blog is so random there are mathematicians out there using it for a number generator. Yeesh! Sorry no ads for me! Back ye ads I say back. There will be no primitive spade like objects on my blogs. For now I shall remain ads free! My motto is to subtract the ads how about yours?
