Without any warning to their faithful subscribers the (trouble)makers of Newtonia.Org have chosen, quite undemocratically in our opinion, to facelift the entire web site! This means that the old royal blue site you have learnt to love and painstakingly navigate around is gone forever (or is it? Join our reader initiative to get back that Bright Blue Background). "Tough", said the still-anonymous webmaster during a characteristically unconvincing public statement, "All those bright colours were beginning to hurt my eyes!".
Inevitably, speculation about the ulterior motives behind this unprecedented makeover is rife. We list the most popular conspiracy theories for you here (with no guarantee of trustworthiness):
This last theory is, of course, completely unfounded! Even though Mum has gone underground to avoid our ever-vigilant reporters we can still faithfully inform you ... um ... that an entire Newtonian tribe has migrated back to the old world with no deaths and only a few arrests. They are now happily squatting in one of the many historically signifcant Newtonian Castles still dotted about the landscape.
Another more sinister development is that two further Newtonian groups are reported to be encroaching upon Spain in a classic military pincer movement. Each group claims, implausibly as ever, complete innocence of any advance planning or intent to meet up in this delightful country and take it over.
We hope to resume the full 'Mum Exploit' service as soon as possible. In the meantime, to view the first image captured of the Newtonia Webmaster, a naturally shy creature of secretive nocturnal habits, simply press this button:
