When news goes wrong

Someone pointed me to this amusing story on Yahoo news today:

I'm sure you're thinking something about German tourists.

Maybe you're also asking where's the picture?

A quick bit of googling found the original story on the Reuters site:

You'll notice the difference in wording there...

A bit more research finds the German original story, with picture

Somebody at Yahoo's going to get fired...

It's full of holes!

Apparently Scientists have found holes in the Earth's magnetic field - Over use of magna-doodles in the 80s are blamed.

To help this, you can save the world, with an Ecofont - and save a bit of ink every time you print (or you could just print smaller, saving paper too!)

Space Invaders

I have no idea what's going on here, other than, it seems, all they wanted was to help us recycle. All that Space Invading was obviously just a front.

Tower of Meeples

To be honest, I'd forgotten I'd made this - I just found the stills on my camera :)
