I just had to share this one.
The Sudanese government had a nasty shock this week, when it read on a US Congress website that the Americans had conducted nuclear tests in the country.
A House of Representatives committee report mentioned tests conducted in Sudan between 1962 and 1970.
However, when alarmed Foreign Minister Mustafa Osman Ismail raised it with US officials in Khartoum, it turned out to be a typing error.
The report should have said Sedan, a test site in the US state of Nevada.
Whoever typed that report can soon be expecting to have a permanent desk at the US Antartica station, methinks.

I was going to say, "So THAT explains what's in the water there, because that country has some friggen problems!" But now the explanation is still unknown.
But, as far as coincidences go, my uncle just got a job in Antartica. And I'm serious on that one.
Hi Tas,
A friend of mine got a job as an ecologist with the British Antartic Survey. He loves it, he gets to practise his bagpipes for 4 months a year without anyone complaining.
Hope your uncle gets through it all ok.
