    White collar crime (even if they're brown under the collar apparently) often doesn't attract long custodial sentences.

    That is incredible. I've got one of those new fangled Flow hives

    Flow Hive US

    Honey Straight From The Beehive

    Honey Straight From The Beehive

    Flow is a revolutionary beehive invention, allowing you to harvest honey without opening the hive and with minimal disturbance to the bees.

    but haven't put any bees in it yet. Just done a course so that I know a bit before I start. Tempted not to put the frames in now!

    Not really the internet, but was some facts I got from podcasts:

    A guy that made the first set of Stocks for his local council, was then the first person to use them as they felt the £1 and so many shillings was too much...so he got to spend an hour in them, and was fined £5.

    Also, in 1959, a publicity stunt by a Norwegain Insulation company on taking 3 tons of Arctic Ice to the equator wrapped in thier insulation.

    The challenge was that a radio station would award 100,000 francs for each kilogram that remained at the destination on the proviso no form of refrigeration was used...radio station withdrew offer when it appeared it would cost them ALOT
