Truck driver impaled by canoe

 

A truck driver is in a critical condition in Palmerston North Hospital this afternoon after he was impaled by a canoe that smashed through his windscreen in a freak accident south of Levin.

 

A vehicle towing a canoe trailer was heading north when one of the canoes appeared to come loose and smashed through the windscreen of a oncoming truck, said police central spokeswoman Kim Perks.

 

The canoe smashed through the windscreen and impaled the 64-year-old driver in his midriff.

Let's roll... dung beetle to combat global warming

 

The humble dung beetle, which spends its life rolling and burying balls of poo, could become a weapon against global warming.

 

Environmental regulators are seeking permission to release in New Zealand up to 11 foreign species of the beetle, which hoover up animal dung for food.

 

The Dung Beetle Release Strategy Group - made up of farmers and other interest groups - says the introduction will lead to a reduction in the greenhouse gas byproduct of dung, nitrous oxide.

interesting, having dung beetles rocking round would be pretty rad

Can't believe we are even considering altering our ecosystem... haven't we learnt anything from Stoats, Possums, Rabbits, Hedgehogs, Ferrets, Gorse... (All introduced on purpose expecting positive results)

 

Once the Beetles are established there is no way to reverse it. At least with Stoats we can trap, fence and poison them. Those Beetles are going to be here forever regardless of any negative consequences down the line. not worth the risk at all imo. Surely there are better ways to manage pastures than to introduce alien insect species... no brainer
