After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the POMS, in the weeks that followed, Australian scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the Aussie newspapers read: "Australian archaeologists have found traces of 150 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the Brits.

One week later, Maori TV reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in his backyard in Te Kuiti, Hone Waiata, a King Country Kaumatua, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Hone has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Maori had already gone wireless.

Thanks Peat - very enlightening - and mostly true I suspect.....

.........In Auckland, the main knock-on effect has been a marked increase in traffic congestion. A reason-for-travel survey of motorists reveals that 57.5% are driving around the city trying to get their money back.

Of them, 22% are looking for their finance company's new location and 35.5% are searching for the new apartment they thought they were renting out in the CBD.

Woman sat on boyfriend's toilet for two years

A US woman’s skin had to be surgically removed, after she spent two years on a toilet



US authorities are considering charging a man whose girlfriend sat on his toilet for two years, and ended up stuck there when her skin eventually grew around the plastic seat.

Sheriff Bryan Whipple in Ness City, Texas, says she initially refused emergency medical services, but was finally convinced by police, medical officers and her boyfriend to go to hospital.

He says they had to break the seat off the toilet, and doctors at the hospital removed it from her skin.

Sheriff Whipple says the boyfriend told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

Her reply would be, 'Maybe tomorrow'.

The boyfriend eventually called police on February 27 and the county attorney will decide whether any charges should be filed against him.
