Interesting fact of the day: Australia, and Austria are actually the same place, the first one is just the British pronunciation and spelling and the second one is the american version.

Some years ago there was a 12 year old kid who was supposed to get on a flight from Los Angeles to Oakland, where his mother was going to meet him. Well, 18 hours later the Aussies were putting back on plane to California.

@Pat I'd have just stayed and make them bring my mom to me :)

@freemo

He heard them announce "Last call for flight 123 to Auckland." So he got on the plane. Nobody noticed his ticket was for Oakland.

@lucifargundam @freemo

Yeah, I didn't explain it very well. It's funny because of the huge difference in locations.
