Just when you think visiting Australia can't be any stranger, the Brits turn up a new one by discovering the resting place of the first person to circumnavigate Australia while renovating a train station.

    At least idiots that pull that crap will eventually be assured of identification.
     
    Still a horrible end state in other ways, but at least there's that.
