There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King

Work on the contraversial M3 motorway in Ireland has been brought to a halt due to the archaeological discovery of an bronze age/Iron age ceremonial site the size of three football fields. The site is situated in the screen valley beside the world famous Tara Fort. World wide petitions had been sent to the Irish government to reroute the motorway Prior before any work had started on the proposed route. The minister for the Inviornment, Ducas and heritage has till wednesday to decide whether the site is a significant part of Irish Heritage and should be preserved as a national monument, which would mean the rerouting of the motorway.

A Magellanic penguin whose natural habitat is the cool climes of southern Chile has strayed thousands of miles from his home, arriving in Peru. The penguin, native to the Strait of Magellan region of Chile, swam all the way to Peru's Paracas national reserve.
Scientists say the bird appeared to have made the 5,000km (3,000-mile) journey alone.
They say the penguin must have "got off course" to end up just 14 degrees south of the equator.

A rocket containing the ashes of Star Trek actor James Doohan has not yet been found, two weeks after it returned from the edge of space. A portion of Doohan's ashes, along with 200 others, were launched from a site in New Mexico on 28 April.
The rocket reached its planned altitude of 72.7 miles (117 kms) before coming down in a mountainous area.
Operator Space Services Inc said the craft had locator beacons, but that bad weather had hampered the search.
Doohan played Scotty, the Enterprise's straight-talking engineer, in the original TV series and several movies.
