Mystery Plaque Mystery Deepens


(Update: the video footage is available here (Today FM website). Notice how this confirms the long standing Ultimate Comment theory that you can get away with anything as long as you're wearing a Hi-Viz jacket.) Also, some pictures taken by me:





DUBLIN-The creators of the mysterious plaque on O'Connell bridge have released a video of them placing the plaque in the bridge, as well as some clues as to the meaning of the plaque, which has the whole country curious. Apparently the plaque has been there for several months, and photographs exist of it that were taken in February. The plaque fills the hole left by the sign for the Millenium Clock ("Time in the Slime"), and the perpetrators apparently did little damage to the bridge by placing it there, into a hole previously filled with crisp packets and cigarette butts. It commemorate the non-existent "Fr. Pat Noise" who died under mysterious circumstances when his carriage plunged into the Liffey in 1919.



The latest press release contained a video of two pranksters putting the plaque in the bridge, in the middle of the day, not being questioned by anyone. We are unable to obtain a copy of this video as yet, however we will query the RTÉ newsroom to see if it is possible. The legends also claimed that "Fr. Pat Noise" is a pun on "Pater Noster", the face on the plaque is of a living person, and the HSTI who, according to the plaque, it was erected by, is not a deliberate anagram of "sh*t".

Insane electric death knife invented


The Shockknife has been invented and is going on sale. Apparently its the "the Only training knife that can induce FEAR". It runs on a 9-volt battery and "does not have the ability to cut. The shock will not cause permanent injury or incapacitation.". It costs $499 and apparently hurts just as much as a real knife. Here is a Video of it in action (MPG, 5.6 MB).
