Dead tree newspapers

I like reading them, I just don't have time.

OK, I exaggerate. I like reading one.

Hmm. Well, not the whole thing. There's a lot I throw out.

The annoying thing is that today is the first chance I've had to read the Weekend Australian Magazine. And because the paper stayed rolled up until Sunday (it's issued and delivered* on Saturday), I didn't realise that it was very, very wet (it rained all day Friday and Saturday). The Mag is a glossy insert in the newspaper. When it gets very wet and stays wet androlled up the pages stick together.

I'm sure there's some interesting stuff in there... so here's the link.
