Does a mosquito windscreen contact slow down your car...

Image via WikipediaA mozzie splat. Does a mosquito windscreen contact slow down your car?

So there you are Kiwi motorist cruising down the Auckland southern motorway at a 100kph, and splat - a mosquito smacks into your windscreen. Does your car slow down as a result?

Yes, according to the laws of physics - but only by a millionth of a kilometre an hour, dropping your speed to a more sedate  99.9999999 kph.

At least youwon't get a ticket.

Double jokers...

Double jokers...





An elephant, a penguin and a kiwi walk into a Central Otago Pub.

'Whats going on?' asks the bartender suspiciously.

'Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?'




Kent and three of his buddies have gone fishing every Saturday for nearly forty years.

One Saturday, the guys are fishing along a highway when a furneral processional drives by.

Well, Kent lays down his pole, stands up in the boat, takes off his lucky hat and places it over his heart.

This processional is huge and takes nearly five minutes to pass.

Once it passes, Kent sits down, puts his hat on and cast out without saying a word.

Needless to say his buddies are floored by his actions.

One of them finally speaks up and says, that sure was a respectful thing you did there when they went by.

Kent replied, it seems the least I could do seeing as how I've been married to the woman for over forty years!

NZ Lotto winner almost loses his winnings...

NZ lotto winner almost misses deadline and nearly loses his winnings.







Up to three per cent of prizes go unclaimed every year, according to Todd McLeay. Photo / Martin SykesA tardy but lucky Aucklander has claimed a half million dollar Lotto prize, just one day before it expired.



The First Division winning ticket was sold a year ago at a superette in Ponsonby and the ticket holder had until close of business yesterday to come forward.



The ticket had been left forgotten in a drawer until Saturday and the man says although it was a bit faded, he noticed the date and thought he had better check it quickly.



The largest prize that expired in recent times is a three million dollar prize sold in Masterton in early 2003 and Lotteries' Chief Executive, Todd McLeay, said up to three per cent of prizes go unclaimed every year.



If the lucky Aucklander had waited until today, he would have won nothing.
