From an article complaining about a company that builds trailers for miners? Takes all kinds.

Heh. This one relates to the same situation, but with an even juicier reference. I found it the other day during my regular Fleetwood Mac searches - it is rather nice for the business journalists that the companies are Fleetwood and Mac.

Housing providers Fleetwood Corp and Mac Services this week fell foul of Rio Tinto's capex squeeze. While 1970s band Fleetwood Mac crooned Don't Stop, Rio Tinto's message was Go Your Own Way, with contract cancellations affecting Fleetwood (Pilbara iron ore housing) and Mac (Alcan's 300-room Gladstone village).

Haha, at least that one was slightly more involved, but methinks the journalists are reaching.

Here's another bizarre one that popped up thanks to my trusty Google Alerts:

“wherever yin and yang come together, a spiral of energy is created. and spirals are everywhere; from the twisted corkscrew of the galaxy, to the dirty water spinning down your bathtub drain, the natural world expresses itself through spirals: the earth spins like a top around the sun. tornadoes, ocean currents, and stevie nicks are all manifestations of spiraling energy. from the hair spiral on the top of your head, through the funky coils of your fingerprints, all the way down to your dna, you are made up of spirals, too. and as a member of the spiral club, you are being created and uncreated by the infinite universe every moment of every day.”
