Get the Monarched mug.A "monarchy" is a form of government, of which there are 2 types.
A "constitutional monarchy" is a government in which the monarch is a figurehead. He or she performs ceremonial functions, such as state visits and ship christenings. There is a parliament and a prime minister. The parliament is responsible for making the laws and the prime minister executes the law.
In a "true monarchy," the monarch's word is law because the monarch is the state. The Monarch is the equivalent of the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court all rolled into one.

Get the wrath of the monarch mug.The monarch’s wingspan ranges from 8.9–10.2 cm (3 –4 in). The upper side of the wings is tawny-orange, the veins and margins are black, and in the margins are two series of small white spots. The fore wings also have a few orange spots near the tip. The underside is similar, but the tip of the fore wing and hind wing are yellow-brown instead of tawny-orange and the white spots are larger.
The male has a black patch of androconial scales on either hind wing (in some butterflies, these patches disperse pheromones, but are not known to do so in monarchs), and the black veins on its wing are narrower than the female’s. The male is also slightly larger.
A color variation has been observed in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and the United States as early as the late 19th century. Named nivosus by lepidopterists, it is grayish-white in all areas of the wings that are normally orange. Generally, it is only about 1% or less of all monarchs, but has maintained populations as high as 10% on Oahu in Hawaii, possibly due to selective predation.

Get the Monaro mug.Greatest muscle car ever built. If anyone out there thinks that American Muscle is the greatest then you obviously have never heard of a HK or HT Monaro. Miles ahead of the rest anyone that disses the early models deserves to be shot. Holden is a great Australian car manufacturer and is the pinnacle of excellence. Anyone that drives around in a Ford has just wasted their money.
Dazza: Mate is that a 1969 HT Monaro GTS 350?
Macca: Sure is!
Wazza: That is the f*cking greatest car ever!
Seppo: That car makes my Dodge look like shit
