"The world has gone mad," Topics spy Chevy Whiteside said.
Guess you'd call that slow but steep fashion.
And you might think it must be among the world's most expensive T-shirts. Apparently not. A T-shirt was once priced at $400,000. It came with a set of 16 diamonds sewn in.
And a Hermes T-Shirt - made with crocodile skin - was priced at $91,500.
Three Gnomes
We've all heard of the troll under the bridge, but have you heard of the gnome under the bridge?
Three gnomes were spotted entering the water under Swansea bridge on Easter Friday.
People were being urged to find the gnomes. Not without dive gear, of course.
Recovered gnomes were to be returned to Dive Newcastle at Swansea, with rewards to be claimed.
We always associated gnomes with gardens. Guess the marine life under Swansea bridge is kinda like a garden. An octopus's garden, that is.
I'd like to be under the sea ...
A Bird in the Hand
Those watching birds over the Easter break made use of new signs and the Birding Guide to the Cessnock Woodlands.
The guide opens the area up to nature-lovers, detailing key places to enjoy the remarkable diversity of birds and other wildlife in the Cessnock area.
Several sites provide vital habitat for the critically endangered swift parrot and regent honeyeater, as well as being home to many other threatened birds, plants and animals.
The signs have been installed at Poppet Head Park in Kitchener, Mulbring Park in Mulbring, Log of Knowledge Park in Kurri Kurri, Hunter Distillery in Pokolbin and Old Brush Studio in Brunkerville.
All you need for birdwatching is a set of binoculars and a field guide or app.
Spot a bird and you'll be as proud as a peacock.
What's the Password?
It's a public holiday and a very calm and helpful son has been asked by his dad to help him log into an app.
Dad: What app is the A-League on again?
Son: Paramount Plus. I gave you the password. Were you able to log in?
Dad: What was the password?
Son: I gave it to you.
Dad: Oh. Maybe I wrote that down. Did I write that down?
Son: I dunno, did you?
Dad: Just give it to me again will you?
Son: OK, have you got a pen? The password is imgettingatadannoyed.
Dad: Is that all one word?
Son: Yep. All one word.
Dad: Any capitals in that?
Son: No capitals.
Dad: So what's the app?
Son: Paramount Plus.
Dad: How do I get that?
Son: Go into your Apple box or Foxtel. That should have the app.
Dad: How do I find that?
Son: Just look for apps in the menu. Do a search if it's not there.
Dad: I can't find it. It's not there.
Son: Keep looking. Scroll down a bit.
Dad: Oh OK, there it is. It's asking for a password. What's that password again?
Son: imgettingreallyannoyednow.
Dad: Any capitals?
Son: Definitely.
