Cool article. The "bathroom reader" books that it is taken from are generally full of interesting stuff like that. Would recommended.

Here's the nat geo clip where a dude apparently got shot with a massive arrow, complete with psychadelic 70's soundtrack:

Amazing stuff!

Have a look at this photo, taken from a helicopter taking aid/food to the island, after the 2004 tsunami.

What is that, top middle of photo:-

Proud, noble people. I bet the women and children on that island are totally empowered and not at all living in an abusive, inbred Cornish stylee subjugated hellhole.

This is the helicopter I'd send.

I'm wondering if the whole story isn't a spoof.

Isn't it part of human nature to wonder what lies beyond? To boldly go and all that?

Why is there no evidence of them trying leave the island to explore further than they can see?

So many questions.

Test cricket is the longest form of the sport of cricket. Test matches are played between national representative teams with "Test status", as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The two teams of 11 players play a four-innings match, which often lasts up to five days. It is generally considered the most complete examination of teams' playing ability and endurance.[1][2][3] The origin of the name Test stems from the long, gruelling match being a "test" of the relative strength of the two sides.[4]

The first officially recognised Test match began on 15 March 1877, between England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), where Australia won by 45 runs.[5] A Test match to celebrate 100 years of Test cricket was held in Melbourne from 12 to 17 March 1977, in which Australia beat England by 45 runs—the same margin as that first Test.[6]

In October 2012, the International Cricket Council recast the playing conditions for Test matches, permitting day/night Test matches.[7] The first day/night game is scheduled to take place between Australia and New Zealand at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide on 27 November 2015.[8]
