So, big news in the peaty stew that is Australasia (sp? care?) - New Zealand experienced a major earthquake a few days ago. I know you heard it on the news...what's that, you didn't hear about it on the news? Right, it's Australasia. Wait a second, I'm being provincial. Just cuz I live in America doesn't mean YOU live in America - you just live in our worldwide grasp. Sorry 'bout that. Maybe you should man up and invade someplace too! It's been a real boon for us. Anyway, right, earthquake in New Zealand. Well aside from a sharp decline in the price of sheep milkshakes for a day (sucked through a straw, natch) the big news is that En Zed is now 3o cm closer to Australia! Egad, what is one to do. Apparently they've been de-rusting the sheep cannons all along the coast (in En Zed) and parliament has been meeting non-stop to talk of the possible ramifications such as re-drawing the coastal water rights by 30cm on one side of the country and then hiring a mathmetician to figure out what to do on the opposite side of the island. What does it mean for Otto's Constant Dream? Well, since our shipping is 30cm less we are fully demanding a reduction in our shipping costs (though I fear it may be in the wrong direction so that might be 30cm more shipping). I should probably look at a map, but that would require some fact checking, and hell, this is the internet - if you type it, it's true.
MAN THE SHEEP CANNONS!!!!
