There must be something about Border town's. You might remember the Mount Gambier woman’s unsuccessful Darwin Awards attempt back in August. Well here's a letter from the letters to the editor section of Border-Mail (which is a newspaper that originates from the Albury/Wodonga region - on the border between Victoria and New South Wales) on the 1 October 2008.
Basically, the writer theorizes that daylight savings is the cause of the drought. Apparently daylight savings, and the "one extra hour of sun is slowly evaporating the moisture out of everything". I really hope it's a joke, but sadly, I'm not convinced that it is.
I'm hoping that the author of the letter hooks up with the Mount Gambier woman, and that they have off-spring. Now that would be an interesting scientific study!



Yup, that little nugget made the front page of the Northern Territory News, along with an equally thought provoking headline, "Is this bloke a complete tosser?".
