Honour? We DEMORALISED you in your national sport. 
That's embarrassing, at least in our national sport, we can't lose, we have no one to compete against.

Did you mean cricket? Australia is not that dominating as it used to be.. England has been struggling for a while now.. and darn Tendulkar missed his century once again 
Anyways your signature just got my attention. Just to be clear Bill Gates never said what you have written down. You can search Google for that..
As far as lateral thinking... hmm maybe you can search for some online e-books?? wowio.com has a few.. project guttenberg? any more?

Cricket is not our national sport.
Our national sports are football and Aussie baiting.

Wow, my dad's sources are way out then, for England and cricket. Which is surprising, he's a huge fan. I did google quotes, looking for Einstein's infinty saying, but then that popped up on the screen, so I took it. I'm not confirming it, but it looked interesting.

Going to research now, and we did demoralise England in their national sport, at the World Cup, we got to the round of 16, lost because of a dodgy ref, and Italy went on to win the competition. Assuming we would have beaten them, we were up a man, we would have sailed through into the final, and won. 
I mean England you expect to under perform, but the Aussies showed what they are made of, the best sporting nation in the world. For population to success, Australia dominates overall, especially the Poms. Look at the Commoncrap Games. All countries are tied to England, yet little Australia with just over 20 million in population, DOMINATED. I went to the games, I should know.
P.S. Google has hits for "bill gates 640 kilobytes" when all typed as one, now to look in and see if they are all the same.
Quote:| Bill Gates's is falsely attributed again and again this quotation: „640 KB (main memories) should actually be enough for everyone. “, see in addition also this entry in Wikiquote |

Guess you are correct. I'll change it then.

Few years back there was a post on an online riddle, where you had to go into a house (click on the door-handle) and so on. Does someone remember the link?
There was another one (or was it the same?), where the level1 had a URL level.html and to go to level2 you had to change the URL. Going higher again was too difficult. Anybody remembering that one?
Thanks,

Yes, thanks I found it.
I got again stuck at the woodoo. I do not know what to do with it.
But it seems every year I can make a step higher. I hope I will live long enough...

Exactly what do you represent "If absolutely nothing works"? The hyperlinks appear to feel fine (ideal for a day like today), and additionally everything otherwise is okay.
