Winners all round

Cheers to iinet who decided to give me a trip for two to Sydney to catch the Australian vs New Zealand rugby union match. Another flimsy excuse for a lack of recent postings.

In other news Kathy Belov did the Australian Museum People’s Choice Eureka Prize. I’m gonna try and count this as a poll crash win! Woo!

And finally. Me On 3 submissions with Aunty III have now closed. Below is the channels tribute to over 5,000 entries. Remember there can only be one!*

*Actually, I think there will likely be more than one

That’s no energy drink

Please tell me this was made up for the Russian Tabloid.

A 14-year-old Chinese boy in Szechuan Province thought that the best way to be like his idolized transformer heroes was to start drinking petrol every day for five years.

A 14-year-old boy, from the town of Yibin in Sichuan, first saw the animated saga about robots from outer space – able to transform into vehicles, electronic items or weapons – when he was nine years old.

The youngster was so impressed that he began drinking fuel on a daily basis to “obtain energy” and become a mighty warrior like the Transformers.

He started out with lighter fuel, then upgraded to siphoning gas from his parent’s motorcycle. When his parents locked that up, he started stealing from neighbours.

Sadly (but not unsurprising), the young boy did not develop the superpowers he was looking for, and instead appears to have damaged his brain.

Honestly, does this make any sense? I don’t remember transformers actually requiring fuel? I thought they  ran on sunlight, or nuclear, or the energy released during the reduction of children into mindless consumers.
