The Union Jack

Here is a little video to explain how the flag of the United Kingdom, the Union Jack, was created.

On this image you can see the evolution of the British flag.

The Union Flag or the Union Jack, is the national flag of the United Kingdom.

It is called the Union Flag because it symbolizes the union of the countries of the United Kingdom.

It is made up of the individual Flags of three of the Kingdom's countries all united under one Sovereign:

- the countries of England,

- Scotland and

- Northern Ireland (since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom).

As Wales was not a Kingdom but a Principality (Prince Charles is the Prince of Wales) it could not be included in the flag.

Dumb ways to die

Watch and sing along but DON'T do it!

The Melbourne Metro train company has launched the most funny advertising campaign towards young people to promote more safety in the train station and in life in general.

You will see there are so many Dumb or stupid ways to die in life...

Watch it and learn what NOT TO DO!

Now the lyrics to sing along:

 Set fire to your hair
Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
Eat medicine that's out of date
Use your private parts as piranha bait

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die (x2)

Get your toast out with a fork
Do your own electrical work
Teach yourself how to fly
Eat a two week old unrefrigerated pie

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die (x2)

Invite a psycho-killer inside
Scratch a drug dealer's brand new ride
Take your helmet off in outer space
Use a clothes dryer as a hiding place

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die (x2)

Keep a rattlesnake as a pet
Sell both your kidneys on the internet
Eat a tube of superglue
"I wonder what's this red button do?"

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die (x2)

Dress up like a moose during hunting season
Disturb a nest of wasps for no good reason
Stand on the edge of a train station platform
Drive around the boom gates at a level crossing
Run across the tracks between the platforms
They may not rhyme but they're quite possibly

The dumbest ways to die (x3)
So many dumb, So many dumb ways to die
