SENSATIONAL SCOOP BY SHIPPING SCRIBE

  FAMOUS  HORSE  JOINS   HEADLESS  MERMAID !!!


A strange  rock  formation similar  to   the   head  of  Alexander the Great's famous horse ,Bucephalus, has  suddenly appeared  next  to the badly mutilated , mysterious mermaid on rocks  at  the  entrance to Magnetic Island .

When our  excited   Shipping Reporter  phoned in  and said he had a Pulitzer Prize winning story  for the blog , we thought he had  finally flipped, lost  his connie agates , or  been swilling  too much Bundy rum

However , we  realised that if  his  extravagent claim  proved correct , and he won the Pulitzer for journalism , the  Little Darwin Incorporated , No Liability, Cayman Islands, shares  would  go berserk on the New York Stock  Exchange.  
 
Anyway, our waterfront  scribe   produced the  above  photograph of the  poor headless and armless  mermaid  with   the weird   horse  head  , which was  not  evident   weeks  ago.

At first, the Shipping Reporter admits  he thought the beast   was  a  de-horned  unicorn ,  no doubt  expressing  sympathy  with  the  maltreated,  fibreglass   mermaid .
