Another day, another 'story' to fill space in The Mirror. This one told us about a 60cm ruler ordered by a teacher, but came delivered in a really large box with 24ft of paper!! Hilarious, and really, really informative. They even had a picture of the chap standing over the box with all the packaging as if he had just opened it. What a load a cobblers. It transpires that the sender of the package was a private seller and therefore probably just happened to have this box available, but more pertinent was that the buyer and star of the story was not only a maths teacher but a maths 'entertainer'. Ah, publicity methinks. Unfortunately, I clicked on this link via the Microsoft news feed, which probably means that a supercomputer somewhere is busy going though it's consumer favourites' algorithm calculating which other rubbish stories will now populate the news feed.
