Spy rock
This whole British “spy rock” that’s been in the news recently is pretty amusing. Quotes such as: “Any gadget that can swap data wirelessly would be able to work with the rock”, “those who allegedly stole the confidential information walked close to the rock” and “the FSB has accused British agents of storing and exchanging classified information using a fake rock on a Russian street” can be readily found on the BBC News website.
Genius.
Next thing we know and it will turn out that Roger the Whale was a spy device sent by the Jamaicans. They couldn’t afford “advanced” Japanese technology as used in the British rock (i.e. a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and car battery covered up with a bit of papier mache) so they sent a whale, including a precautionary self-destruct system, should the British public decide to rescue it. Bit of a shame it didn’t splurge whale blubber all over Piccadilly Square. That’d’ve given them something to talk about and then the story could move away from Penguin’s Batman Returns and head straight into Ghostbusters!
