Hancock's Half Hour

The Sun has found Atlantis on Google Earth: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2255989.ece

Last night Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical archaeology at New York State University — and one of the world’s leading authorities on Atlantis — called it “fascinating”.
He said: “The site is one of the most prominent places for the proposed location of Atlantis, as described by Plato. Even if it turns out to be geographical, this definitely deserves a closer look.”

The clincher for me, though was this quote: Bernie, 38, of Chester, said: "It looks like an aerial map of Milton Keynes. It must be man-made."

So that’s that, then. Plato was right all along.

I have just read the draft answer to a Parliamentary Question asked by some senile old idiot in the Upper House.

The question is meaningless on every level, and the answer is a waste of time.

Not for the first time, someone has compared oranges with apples and expressed the answer in terms of lemons. I'm speaking metaphorically here, something I shouldn't have to state, but I have a couple of exceedingly literal minded friends.

You know who you are.
