one of the lower understood Monty Python works from the seventies was a sketch featuring a palaeontologist – miss Anne Elk (John Cleese in drag) – having a hard time to reveal her/his “new” theory.

Wind ahead almost half a century and, based on what’s been found in a “study” just released by clever people at a national university, new scientist reports: “With only a few cars, web traffic flows smoothly. When as well many vehicles appear, web traffic clogs.”
Like the laughable Anne Elk, plus those inadvertently funny uni chaps, I’m happy to specify the bleeding obvious, too, by reminding everybody (our state-owned broadcaster in particular) that there are many – far as well many to listing right here – triggers of air pollution.
