Mystery Cow on the Loose in Wellington Suburb

Wellington residents were left bamboozled after a light brown cattle beast was seen roaming Scorching Bay. The sight of the runaway heifer prompted locals to take to social media with Wellington City Council soon getting involved. “We’ve no idea how it got there. It’s a total mystery to us,” a council spokesperson told the media. It was later revealed that the cow is a repeat offender, often escaping from its home above Scorching Bay Domain. The beefy beast has now been affectionately named Harriet Houdini by the council. 

VUW Flip Flops of Twitter Closure Confusion

Twitter users have been left perplexed by the open-close switcheroo, with one labelling it an “enigma” and another sorrowful user commenting “no more research :(”. The announcement received two likes.
