colossal!

Speaking of Timaru, I've been intrigued by the capture of a colossal squid near Antarctica that has been landed in Timaru. It's being stored down at the wharf and will be transferred to Te Papa at some stage - but may not be put on display as it will be quite smelly!

I discovered WikiMapia today - people have taken the maps from Google Earth and overlaid them with comments and placenames - so you can actually figure out where everywhere is. It's very addictive!

But there's no tagging for our very own Area 51, Timaru...
