Sir Arthur Canberra, a 19th century pioneer and explorer, saw in the Limestone Plains a panorama worthy of the landscape cult that established colonial Australia. Sir Arthur recognised that rural landscapes and lifestyle are the 'real' Australia, with life in the metropolis both artificial and unhealthy.
Sir Arthur was guided to the region by idealism fused with practicality, and successfully bartered two shiny balls and a magic numbers machine with the local indigenous people to secure mining rights to all the land from Gungahlingadinga to Tugerrawangally Creek.
Canberra City is named after him

Get the Arthurine mug.If you ever have a Arththana in your life, hold onto her and never let go. If you ever have the chance you should kiss her it would honestly turn your whole life around. Everything is perfect about her down to the very touch. Everything is beautiful about her especially her gorgeous hair and her luxurious lips. She can work in any outfit she wears and look smexy in ti making you want to hold her, kiss her and treat her right. Whatever she does will always be cute and the best part is, she doesn’t realize how cute she is or how beautiful. If you meet her make sure you make her feel like the world and she deserves the absolute best. Always bring her a cheesecake. She is also the most trust worthy and hard working girl and she a one in a whole human era. There will never be a girl like her again. If you have her make sure you tell her you love her and care about her and give her your kisses. Stay loyal to her no matter

Get the Acute Urate Related Arthritis mug.Last surviving male of Planet Earth after it's demolition to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
Was actually a character from The Archers who found himself in the wrong storyline. i.e. a Monty Python-esque psychedelic space opera populated by characters such as Zaphod Beeblebrox (two heads, three arms, former Galactic President, recently voted Worst Dressed Sentient Being of All Time) and Ford Prefect (roving researcher for the Hitch hiker's Guide top the Galaxy, who chose his earth name after some really lazy research).
Constantly in search of tea, while all around him people search for the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything while trying not to die.
The Ultimate Answer was in fact 42, but since no-one knew the question they had to construct a giant supercomputer known as The Earth to find it out. This computer was often mistaken for a planet by the apelike creatures roaming it's surface. It was destroyed by the Vogons five minutes before the critical readout; thus the Ultimate Question was lost forever, allowing the psychiatrists and philosophers to continue in business unmolested and make a fortune arguing about it and "treating" people who wondered what it was all about.
Eventually, he learns how to fly.
