artarmon 

Artarmon is a suburb of Sydney, Australia, located between neighboring suburbs Chatswood and North Sydney.

It is known to be a hotbed for illegal drug trafficking, illegal prostitution and for having heavy gang activity. Among it's heavy crime rate, Artarmon has been recognised as a class 1 problem area for having a blatant disregard for state and national health/sanitation standards, with much of the towns sewage being dumped in the street.

Due too it's clear 'ghetto-like' status, Artarmon's housing prices have been slowly slipping since the late 1980's.

Some speculate that this slow drop in real-estate value has not been because of the high crime rate and inadequate sewerage system, but because of the birth of the one they call 'Tom'.

This speculation is understandable as Tom cannot resist shouting profanity and thrusting his pelvis at any female who walks past, despite their age. Subsequently, to battle Tom a band of noble warriors have set up the "Tom is not my friend" brotherhood.

We must show him what he does is wrong...We must save Artarmon.
God, Artarmon stinks....Ghetto's sure do suck. Oh look, its Tom...

Artarmon 

Artarmon is a notorious suburb located on the north shore of Sydney in between North Sydney and Chatswood. It is often colloqually known as the "ghetto of the north" and "refugee camp of Sydney" due to its many negative traits. Its road and housing infrastructure quality is of extremely poor standards and comparable to third world countries and worst.
Furthermore Artarmon suffers from an extremely high crime rates which is 700% the national average in all cases. There are approximately 32 murders, 56 armed robberies and 24 arson attacks every week. Many attribute this to the naturally aggressive Artarmon population and the abandonment of the suburb by the rest of Sydney since the 1980s in which a perimeter fence was erected preventing people from getting in and out bar aid organisations.
Like its infrastructure and crime record, Artarmon has a severly lacking sanitation situation. An underground deal between the mayors of the surrounding Sydney suburbs and local mafia has seen Artarmon been the unwitting recipient of all of Sydneys sewage through a series of secret pipes to the suburb center. The health problem is further complicated by the local populations willingness to defacate in the streets and throw their rubbish on the roads. A recent study by the WHO rated Artarmon as being one of the worst areas not just in Australia but in the world in terms of sanitation and lack of medical facilities in which Artarmon has none.
Despite these flaws Artarmons economy is doing suprisingly well due to its lucrative prostitution ring and narcotics industry which provides for the surrounding suburbs.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
