Re: Census results are in
is this paper real or a joke one? 
I've also just read the article on people fleeing to higher ground after the earthquake the other day in Christchurch. It suggested people hail their arms in the air and wave them around to warn others of their impending death!

Re: Census results are in
The census always misses the really interesting cultural questions. Like the sudden massive propagation of tattoos, there was a time when talented people outnumbered famous people but today that trend appears to have been reversed by quite some margin while the number of people sporting an 80's revivalist look has been steadily declining.
