Her Majesty's revenue people will no longer be able to tax Pringles, since
Pringles are, by court decree, not potato chips/crisps (I mean, *anybody* could
have told them that) but a "baked good."

Due to the increased availability of discarded Pringles cans, UK security
specialists are already preparing for an onslaught of wardriving attacks on
wireless LANs.

Quick!  A letter to the Times!
