All together now...

I was standing in the middle of a crowd on Lambton Quay today, all of us staring up at the top of a tall office building with a mixture of horror, confusion and morbid curiosity. The street had been police taped up, fire engines and police were in attendance and we, the people, just stood and watched.

More and more passersby joined the crowd staring up at the glass fronted building. We were enthralled. One man joined the crowd at my side.

"What's going on? What are we looking at?" he asked in concern.

I looked at him and shook my head. "I have no idea. But everyone else was looking so I joined in."

He nodded understandingly, and we both turned our attention back to the building.

I don't think New Zealand's sheep population is entirely ovine.
