Tuesday Edition
Good morning members, and welcome to another fine and dandy Tuesday! So what’s on the agenda for you lot today? Us? Well, we have a ton of stories for you to check out, and as always, we absolutely cannot wait to show you all. So without further ado, let’s get into it! First things first, we’ve got the answer to yesterday’s riddle…
A woman has two sons. They were born at the same hour, on the same day of the same month, in the same year. However, they are not twins. How can that be?
This one had us completely stumped, but it seems a few of you were able to figure out that the answer is that they are triplets! The woman gave birth to three sons, or two sons and one daughter. They could also be two sons of a set of quadruplets. If you got the answer correct, scroll down to the bottom of this newsletter for your well-deserved shoutout!
Now then, what’s happening in Australia and around the world today?

Who remembers their mum using Mr Sheen to clean the house? It was marketed as a multipurpose cleaner that could be used on various surfaces in the 50s. Mums used it to polish everything, from furniture to golf clubs, dashboards to even the bench seat of the car. The house smelled wonderful after using it. Who still uses this today?

The word karaoke is derived from two Japanese words: 'kara' comes from the word 'karappo' meaning empty or void, and 'oke' comes from the word 'okesutura' or orchestra. So Karaoke means ‘empty orchestra.’ Karaoke songs are typically music reproductions without the voice of the singer.
