Morph alerts us to the varisty.co.nz feature on the best student pranks of all time.

They remind me of our plan in 1989 in Dunedin to win the capping stunt competition by kidnapping PM David Lange who was down there for a public lecture. Lange’s office were keen on the idea, as was Lange we were told, but then they had scheduling problems which meant there would be no time for the stunt. We were going to burst in with water pistols at the end of the lecture and kidnap him, but alas it never happened.

Bonnie and Clyde has a disturbing series of photos, called the Cult of Farrar.

Michael Earley blogs about a woman who offered to sleep with anyone who would donate her 5,000 World of Warcraft gold. I don’t do WoW so not sure how much time it would take to get that much gold, but I suspect there were quite a few contenders. The young lady boasts she is a level 70 night elf druid and perfers someone with a costume.

Martha is proudly showing off her undies in the Dominion Post.

Russel Norman blogs that no one should own a car worth $109,000 and they should buy a cheaper car and donate the money saved to Oxfam. Very amusing, as I can think of one Green MP who has a very expensive BMW.

Zen Tiger does a wonderful translation of Chris Trotter’s column. Very good work. He also reminds us of Trotter’s column in favour of corruption:

“Social peace for a paltry half-million dollars? Strikes me as the most courageous and forgivable kind of corruption.”

Courageous corruption indeed.
