In the Western Australian Professional Fishing Industry Mag there is an
item titled 'On the nose in Rio'. Apparantly the famous Copacabana Beach
has not had a good run lately with a series of environmental mishaps. One
resident was quoted as saying 'It's no fun lying on the beach watching the
girls with a bandana held tightly against your nose.' This was after the
latest disaster saw 50 tonnes of sardines washed up on the city's northern
beaches near the international airport.

So, Bob, feast your eyes elsewhere if ya thinking of checking out the
chickie-babes ;-))
