“Cash machine networks could soon be more susceptible to computer viruses, a security firm has warned. The warning is being issued because many banks are starting to use the Windows operating system in machines.” Well, no surprises there. It begs the question – why do ATMs need to run a windowing system? There was no

Effie the elephant isn’t so much an elephant as an elefumble. The difficulty comes when her nasty habit becomes apparent. Effie is known to frequent the darker and danker regions of the less salubrious airports where she indulges in her passion for luggage snuffling. She snuffles luggage. In a word, she snorts trunks.
