Yes, but Telestra is nationwide, not just his locality.

Which would mean nowhere in Australia is a peaceful haven; and not just because of the dropbears eating peoples heads unless they glue plastic sporks behind their ears with vegamite. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

A risk I took the time I visited as well.

The death threats? I got involved in helping refugees, right wing people hate refugees, I would try to correct their lies on FB so they started stalking me and eventually made a ton of videos about me and would call at 3 am to threaten my kids.
Google my name to find a ton of entries on 'cheater' websites and some fun lying videos
Useful if you ever want to visit, they mostly have my address

I am definitely smarter than a 3-year-old. This does not imply that I am better-informed on all possible subjects.

Being perfect isn't easy, but some of us have to do it...

I'm not perfect, but I find those who think they know it all really annoy those of us who do.

I could have warned you.
Back several score years ago, my elder brother and I had sets of, well, stuff.
We had the green little plastic soldiers. Also, a bunch of knights, and best of all, a huge army of dinosaurs. My brother's favorite was "Danny Bimetrodon" and mine was a Pteranodon which was referred to a "Bird" (ancient forerunner of Big Bird?). All of these were roughly the same size as the toy soldiers and knights. Embedded on the tails (or wings) in tiny print was the creature's museum name.
Only now, in hindsight, do realize how cute adults thought it was that we could pronounce the names and identify their owners.
Lookin on a bright-side I want to imagine: at least your nephew didn't have his knowledge limited to Pokemon characters.

Some mornings, I'm not even as smart as a pterodactyl or a pteranodon.

I almost sent this one to you but didn't want to spoil the cultured high-brow attitude we have here on CodeProject.

Well, my brow keeps getting higher as the years plod along. Does that count as high-brow?

No. The Romulans. They sneaked up on it with their cloaca device.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It was a joint operation. Klingons were seen in the vicinity.

Some comments on the prose:
Imagine the parents of this person describing her vocation to their acquaintances:
Quote: Diane Kelly, an expert on vertebrate penises and copulatory systems at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Another classic line:
Quote: "It's like a Swiss Army knife of excretory openings," Vinther said
If the Japanese design engineers read this . . . OMG, it beggars the imagination as to what they'll do with expanding this concept.
Quite importantly, this should have been lead article for the Newsletter.
