I just found another good reason to move to Australia or New Zealand. These people are so laid back that they have time to count the number of stars in the universe:
Star survey reaches 70 sextillion
Tuesday, July 22, 2003 Posted: 9:12 AM EDT (1312 GMT) SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) --
Ever wanted to wish upon a star? Well, you have 70,000 million million million to choose from. That's the total number of stars in the known universe, according to a study by Australian astronomers. It's also about 10 times as many stars as grains of sand on all the world's beaches and deserts.
The figure -- 7 followed by 22 zeros or, more accurately, 70 sextillion -- was calculated by a team of stargazers based at the Australian National University.
