Hi Scruffy et al.

Found this in a U.K. newspaper.

"A team of experts at the University of East Anglia has recently discovered that the world is, indeed, slowly slipping downhill.

'Twenty years ago, the world was a full 41m higher than it is now,' says Professor Chisholm, author of the report Cause For Alarm.

'It is now going downhill at a rate of just over 2m per annum, or, in scientific terms, 4m every two years. The trouble is that it is shaped like a giant ball, and balls are almost impossible to stop going downhill, unless of course you have a vast wedge.'

Professor Chisholm and his team now claim to have constructed a prototype for a wedge to prevent the world going farther downhill, and have just launched a Wedge The World campaign to seek government funding for its construction and installation.

The finished wedge would, he explains, be made of locally sourced organic recyclable material. It would measure 7,000 miles long, and would be 2,000 miles at its highest point.

'Our critics may complain that a total cost of £78,000 billion is too expensive in these difficult economic times,' he adds.

'But it's the only way to stop the world going farther downhill. Fortunately, Bono has agreed to headline at the launch concert, so there is every reason to believe it will work.'

Comment:

Tongue in cheek?

With Bono involved, who knows, lol?

Good Luck to all!
