I read about a guy who was working in the office of a certain sunday tabloid rag who noticed bags of mail coming in complimenting them on the accuracy of their (syndicated) astrology page so for a laugh they switched around all the predictions for the various "star signs" and guess what....
Yep the mail CONTINUED to flow in !
Did you know that "decieving his majestys subjects" in this manner is ILLEGAL under an old UK law (which AFIK is still in force in Ireland too). Apparently Offenders are liable to be stripped tied to the back of a cart and driven outside the "parish boundary" and flogged if they return. (No Im not making this up !)
IMHO its a disgrace that the police have tolerated this crime by not prosecuting anyone for over 200 years. Whatever happened to "zero tolerance" :-) (Sorry M1)
