Ever woken up on the wrong side of the bed (or in the wrong bed for that matter) and wondered if the world (or you - depending who you wake up next to) has gone really bonkers? This neat little protest from the Climate Alliance ( no less!) was against the use of cars - children were encouraged to walk or ride a bicycle to school. The children rode some 600k miles (yeah!) and then, ostensibly encouraged by Climate Alliance, cut out paper foot prints (yes - thats the stuff that comes from dead trees) - all 600k of them!! Austria takes the cake with 200k paper footprints. The genius reporter (from Reuters no less) states that global warming is stoked by green house emissions from plants and other hydrocarbon guzzling monsters AND Mr.Doyle because a large section of the carbon sink has just vanished into Breitta Freitag's footprint suitcase!! What is this? EU's new retail carbon trading scheme??

Continental Europeans have always been sligltly barmy, aka the "If they dont have bread ....." days, apparently it has been all the way downhill since!
Bootnote: To talk to Mr.Doyle, add the above reuters messaging address to your MSN/Live messenger.
