Today's news

And in Florida, a legislator concerned about the unemployment issues facing people of below-average-height is trying to revive the bizarre sport of dwarf tossing.

  4. Mrs A - what a great idea. Greg would make great chum.

    I'm not sure about the Logan river flooding story. I reckon a couple of blokes, with a few tinnies under their belts, decided to spice the game up a bit.

    Are you thinking of combining the 2 ideas and tossing dwarfs across the shark infested water hazard?
