a story out of Pland ... it comes from one of the scientific journals so is quite likely true.
Stork’s enormous bill
A research project tracking storks’ migration to Africa did not go according to plan for zoologists in Poland. One bird, named Kajtek, flew 6000 kilometres to Sudan in October, but did not head back towards Europe in February as expected, instead remaining in the Nile Valley and moving in various directions about 25 kilometres per day, the researchers told Polish media. The transmitter fell silent in April.
Then came a big surprise: a phone bill for 10,000 zloty (£2000). Apparently, someone had taken the sim card out of the transmitter and used it to make a great many phone calls. The researchers’ organisation will have to foot the bill.
