Last year when I bought my jeep the extra key went missing within days. We turned the house upside down but it never showed up. Just the other day I found it by chance...and so today I will go to my daughters place of work and take my jeep...and wait for her to come out and assume its been stolen...*chucklious*...the only drawback being that 9 times out of 10 she calls me first when disaster strikes...lets hope this is not the one time she calls the police...ouch!

All hell broke loose for 2.5 hours until the radio station confessed it was a joke. The best I heard was in Dubai when Radio2 announced that the creek had dried up and there wouldn't be any abras that day. Thousands fell for it and the traffic situation was more horrendous than usual!! I bet someone got their wrists slapped for that.
