Three of these four things really happened, just recently. Are you cynical enough to figure out the made-up story?
(a) A British couple who hadn't been able to break their two-pack-a-day cigarette habit gave it up when their pet parrot developed a respiratory illness.
(b) A leading British museum announced an experiment to cover a substantial portion of its utility expenses by converting visitors' excrement from museum rest rooms into electricity.
(c) A local Islamic extremist organization in France, with ties to al-Qaeda, filed several lawsuits against the city of Paris for what it called "discriminatory tax harassment."
(d) Meteorological officials in one Chinese province accused their counterparts in another province of "stealing" "their" clouds, in order to seed them for rain.
#1 thing a consultant shouldn't say: "I could tell you the answer right now, but we're committed to a three month project..." #-o

1. Once a Brit starts smoking, he ain't stoppin'.
2. Parrots are outlawed in Britain.
I believe A because when my dog got sick I stopped smoking in the house. We never let her in the same room that we were smoking in but when she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure (I still cry! x:'( ) all smoking was on the porch.
I hope C is true and D kind of sounds like it could happen.
