If you go down to the woods today ...

you could find that there has been a massacre of sorts. Where: a patch of bush (forest?) south of Perth, WA, at a place called Gnomesville. Why is it called that? Because it's home to about a thousand of them. Or was before persons unknown took it upon themselves to lop off the heads or smash several dozen of the locals. Emergency workers in WA are offering a reward for information on the "Gnomesville Massacre". Six orange-colored gnomes depicting emergency workers were among those destroyed, Gnomesville is apparently a popular tourist attraction, easily reached by buses visiting nearby vineyards.

Who could imagine that a massacre in a small village could generate so much international interest.
I can report (as a witness to the aftermath) That there were many casualties. The brave SES workers (who have injuries themselves) are barely coping with the influx of sick and injured, tourists are being asked to forgo leaving any new Gnomes and to donate glue and paint instead. We counted about 60 critical patients and hundreds of Gnomes and Dwarves with minor chips and cracks. The 2007 Gnomesville Horror, as it is now referred to, will go down in history as a disaster of epic proportions. I spoke with an old Gnome who was in shock. He told me that luckily he escaped physical injury himself by hiding behind a giant tree fern but the fear and horror will stay with him until the day he dies. It has been said that no-one in the village of Gnomesville will ever look at a golf club in the same light ever again, and you know what? I dont blame them.
