Jason pointed me (via UA) to an Early Day Motion filed concerning the battery life of iPods. The fact that someone could be bothered to table a motion on such a thing intruiged me, so I had a browse around the site to find out what other things have been put forward as EDMs – and there’s a veritable goldmine of stupidity, irreleventia and hilarity just waiting to be found.
For example, how about EDM #555, concerning the reintroduction of elephants to Angola? Or #535, concerning the factual basis for Robin Hood. Or maybe you’re in favour of passports for Horses? It seems even the government were upset that Ricky Gervais wasn’t put forward for a BAFTA, but were quite delighted when nearly 3,000 Santas turned out for a charity fun run. Even Michelle from Pop Idol gets a mention.
However, I must say that they might be onto something with this one, though.
