Last words...
"If we had an interconnector with NSW we wouldn't be dealing with the issues we're facing today."
- South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill, whose government has been in power for 15 years, trying to explain away further electricity blackout in his state.
Err, correct. If only... you didn't have hot days. Or if only... you had a smaller population. Or if only... you had nuclear fission (not fusion) power. Or, really, state the obvious, if only... you didn't have a policy that relied on wind power for much of your generation capacity.

Van Gogh and the SeasonsSome lightly salted absurdities from all over...
At the extreme left-hand of the bell curve
David Martinez, 25, was shot in the stomach during a brawl in New York City in December. He had inadvertently initiated the chaos when, trying to park in Manhattan's East Village just after Saturday midnight, he moved an orange traffic cone that had obviously been placed to reserve the parking space.
He apparently failed to realize that the parking spot was in front of the clubhouse of Hells Angels, whose members happened to take notice. And offence.

Never leave behind...
Woodstock, Vermont, police arrested a 28-year-old man for bank robbery in January, with a key piece of evidence coming to their attention when a disapproving Vermonter noted a paper coffee cup not in its proper recycling bin.
The cup held the robber's holdup note and DNA.

The passing parade
A 46-year-old man was arrested in December after an evening at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and charged with leaving a server a non-monetary "tip".
The tip was a Valium pill.
