Two funnies from out there in the web world

Not geek stuff.

1: Roundabout shenanigans - Amanada at Darwinian Evolution
But the best story I saw was one I missed by being away last Friday:
‘Council workmen in Coventry have built a huge roundabout and placed "no exit" signs before every turn-off, meaning that once you're on, there is no way out.
‘Motorists following the instructions have ended up going round in circles.’

The next bit is really sweet:
‘The signs went up five weeks ago but such is the polite demeanour of British drivers that no one told the council until now.’

2: UK Sky Movies correspondence - Vicus at Kaliyuga Kronicles
Original post:
I have sent the following query to Sky Movies. There will be no prizes other than my sincere affection for the one who mostly closely replicates the response.

I notice that Sky Movies is screening the film "Fantastic Four". I have not yet seen "Fantastic", "Fantastic Two" or "Fantastic Three". Do you have any plans to show these in the near future
