Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him,resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been dude?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through
the clouds, "Look Mick, look what I've made."-
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet,- replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it
Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance"
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, For example, Northern
Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe
is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot.
"Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a
continent of black people" God continued, pointing to different countries.
"This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold
and covered in ice"
The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large land mass In
the top corner and asked, "What's that one?"
"Ah" said God. "That's Australia, the most glorious place on Earth. There
are beautiful mountains, rainforests, rivers, stream and an exquisite
coast-line. The people are good looking, intelligent and humorous and
they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely
sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout
the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them
super-human, undefeatable football players who will be admired and feared by
all who come across them".
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then "You said there will be
BALANCE!"
God replied wisely.
"Wait until you see the ugly, whingeing, sheep rooting, Kiwi bastards I'm
putting next to them".
