Gnome goes to Antarctica

Jerome Angus Graham III, a 25-centimeter-tall garden gnome, has been all around the world. But he hasn't been to Antarctica. Nor apparently, has any other gnome. But that's about to change. Jerome is heading to Antarctica, thanks to an invitation from Belgian travel firm Asteria Expeditions. Jerome will become "the first gnome to set foot on the frozen continent." The adventures of Jerome can be followed at travellinggnome.net.

Earthtimes.org also reports that last year Jerome become politically active when he launched a petition against a Belgian brand of pate called "Gnome Pate": "However, he closed the petition once the pate's producers - a firm called "The Hobbit" - provided proof that the pate was vegetarian and contained no gnome parts, his website explained."

Gee, maybe a certain local gnome called Bimpkin could have been as famous as all that - if someone (and I won't name names...Alex!) had actually sent him on like he was supposed to 😛 :lol:

One of these days Bimpkin, one of these days!

Actually, according to the Travelling Gnome site, he will be the first gnome in "Antractica".
