Unintended consequence
According to wikipedia, unintended results/consequences are results that may be foreseen or unforeseen, but they should be the logical or likely results of the action. Confusing ?
Take example of the case on George Bush near miss with the shoe throwing. His actions in Iraq may have tried to bring about the result of peace from the Saddam Hussein's regime but instead it has caused severe grief and catastrophic results with the need for United nation countries to continually send troops over for law enforcement. Similarly by building the world's most advanced and unsinkable ship , the Titanic had to sink.
The theory of unintended consequences is in fact a term coined by people who happen to be able to sit back and see where this world and everything was revolving.

NIGHT SHIFT PHARMACIST -wanted near the national park
Of all the jobs in the world, I guess this job must be one of the most boring and loneliest in the world. Granted the National park is a good scenic place to be in when the weather is all fine and sunny, but during the night, who would want to be in such a place ? You mean they have night safari and night tours too overnight in the national park ? I am not sure why you need a pharmacy open throughout the night at such a location -  perhaps the advertiser is assuming the pharmacist might be visited by some nocturnal animals or an injured moose over the night looking for a prescription? or some bushranger who needs medication for his asthma ? No wonder then I have been seeing this advert's been posted for a long time and I suppose you won't find any takers for this job unless the person is a nocturnal mammal as well and doesn't mind the loneliness and independence or extra spare time that comes with the job..

Backpain?
This news headlined "aussie getting backpain" seems ludicrous..Perhaps of the number of people getting backpain here, there are another group behind them who are stabbing them..

Killer whale and penguin illustration

This video above reminded me of the companies and CEOs that were rescued by the federal government during the global credit crunch crisis. Sure, if you had a lifeboat (i.e. the government) parked near you, no matter how rough the sea is or how many killer whales there are out there, as long as you (the penguin) manage to manouever your way out of its line of sight, you're safe.

The same thing cannot be said of those fishes in the sea (i.e the junior execs)who are like the sacrificial lambs at the beck and call of the sea tide ..
