I'm guessing this might have put a damper on NZ being a retirement island about 600 years ago

Bank sends a bunch of personal info to the wrong Gmail account. They ask the ISP and Google to provide the info of the person. Both say no. The bank goes above them to a federal court and the judge doesn't order the personal info.

So, outta the blue, some guy loses his email because of a bank F*** up.

The part where he says that he's sure the genome project will prove his theory (ie. he has absolutely no proof and is completely pulling this out of his @$$) makes me wonder how anyone is taking him seriously.

60 Minutes shows that they're little better than bloggers (actually, they're probably worse) with their MPAA-backed take on movie piracy:

I'm sure everyone has heard of what's going down in the Gulf of Mexico in regards to oil. Thought I'd offer this comparison:

Ixtoc I

Ixtoc I was an exploratory oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, about 100 km north west from Ciudad del Carmen in Campeche. On June 3, 1979, the well suffered a blowout and is recognized as the second largest oil spill in history.

In the next few months, experts were brought in to contain and cap the oil well. Approximately an average of ten thousand to thirty thousand barrels per day were discharged into the Gulf until it was finally capped on March 23, 1980.

Alright, so i can understand the maternal pull to have your own child. At some point though there needs to be a thought process though that 'hey, maybe i'm a little old to be having a child and giving it a good life.' Why would you willingly bring a child into the world at 70-71 when there are millions out there needing to be adopted?

LOL, it's not so much the actual news story that is hilarious but the comment thread that has nothing to do with the news.
