The Official Nonsense Thread

So ten points go to Minty! Can't not love a bird called Blue-footed booby!

The lyrebird is great too: pretty name, great mimicking talent, fabulous wavy tail-feathers. Shame about his face!

North Korea =

A few weeks ago I read an article about how North Korea had invited a small group of international scientists to visit in order to take a look at their landscape, which is pretty much destroyed. They realise they have an environmental disaster and lack the expertise to solve it themselves, so they invited experts in to take a look. All tech was confiscated at the airport and the visitors had to be escorted around and monitored at all times. They were not allowed to talk to people other than their official minders. That must have been one seriously strange visit. Apparently every few hours they would be taken to a statue of the dear leader and their hosts would produce bouquets of flowers and offerings for the scientists to lay at these shrines. Bonkers.

Ollie I'm glad you got your mouse working again. Yup, Google is your friend!
