And the sheep certainly have adapted. Since 1832, when the islanders decided to build the 2m-high dyke to keep the sheep from pasture they needed for cows, the flock's diet has been restricted to seaweed foraged from the shore. They are one of only two groups of animals on Earth that exist purely on seaweed; the other is a marine iguana which lives in the Galapagos Islands.

"And the lambs have a pretty good life - we don't send them for slaughter until they're three or four years old."

Newspapers used to get few cents for every reader of a misinformed article written on the occasion of death of a famous person, e.g. killing of an Iranian general. Nowadays, Facebook gets few cents every time somebody comments something stupid on a misinformed comment about a misinformed article. Is it possible to improve on such an amazing business model?
