Lord of the Kiwi
Who says the film industry is non-productive? Well, perhaps it was me - but not any more! It seems that the team which created the prosthetics for the actors in the Lord of the Rings films have finally found something really useful on which to apply their skills. A poor kiwi in New Zealand lost its leg in a trap. It has been looked after at a zoo but obviously could never fend for itself. Along come the film-makers, having studied the way kiwis walk, and created a false leg for the bird. It is now getting used to actually having two legs again. It will never be the most athletic of birds but it can now stand on its own two feet. I like a happy ending once in a while . . .
