#tunnelcow - How Twitter can hype anything

The story of how #tunnelcow, a Twitter tag for the news story that a cow fell out of a truck (how??) in or near the Burnley Tunnel on Melbourne's Citylink freeway, went global this afternoon.

It's amazing how a traffic snafu in Melbourne can be in the top 10 Twitter trends for hours.

$1,000,000 Melbourne Diamond Thief Photos


First photos of Melbourne's million dollar diamond theft suspect. (In more ways than one).

He has the hammer and the ring, so pretty damning evidence I'd say.

Funny Bush Photos

I know he's gone, but I found these and thought they were good for a laugh still.
George W. Bush giving someone "The Bird"

... and again



.... more birds



.... well, he can go back now



Bush was one of the worst disasters to hit the US.




Might help if the handset was plugged in...



.... How's this thing work?

Keep Your Cool

Sitting here at home in the middle of the worst heatwave in over 100 years in Victoria, I'm finding some ways to stay cool.

1. Made lots of ice last night because at 39C in the house and 43C outside, the fridge just can't keep up during the day.

2. Froze some wet face washers to use around the neck and to squeeze the icy water on my head and letting it drip down to cool the whole body.

3. Drink plenty of chilled water and some icy cold beers :)

4. Don't move too much.

5. Regret the lack of air conditioning and make sure there's some next summer!!

Summer

You know how it gets so hot you forget how it could be cool enough to wear long pants and a jumper or that you'd want to be in the same room as a fireplace?
