Those poor souls, 4 Ethiopian Athletes missing? One wonders if they were kidnapped for their running and jumping prowess? Certainly a skill in great demand I assume in Scotland. Lets hope a world wide manhunt will find them safe from harm, so Scottish officials can promptly put them on a plane to Ethiopia, cause I am sure they are homesick and eager to get home in time for dinner!

It is with great thanks Canadas Prime Minister Harper has issued Visa restrictions to Countries who citizens seem to get lost in our vast country, perhaps averting an emotional tragedy these lost souls seem to have in being Directionally Challenged!
