      Good point!

      I wonder how long this can continue before El Reg is classed as one of those "terrorist bomb making website" you hear about in the news.

    Budgies in Near Space

    Some of my paragliding friends are heavily involved in a loosely-related charity project to get a pair of crochet budgies into near space. I admit it's a fairly bizarre thing to want to do but the idea is that the project generates funds for a charity through sponsorship of the footage and of subsequent launches, in this case the Childrens Hospice South West (http://www.chsw.org.uk/).

    The idea is to gain sponsorship for the footage so the more people who see the footage the more sponsorship they can get for the Hospice so please pass it on.

      That's how budgies *should* be smuggled. Take note Queenslanders: you're doing it wrong.
