Wolf Lake

In the past few days, "Wolf Lake" was in the attention of the media for two events. First is the Fish Fest which should take place this weekend and is highly anticipated. For who doesn't know or is too lazy to search, Wolf Lake is in Michigan. The second is that this city was hit earlier by a tornado. Is true that the tornado didn't hit too bad, so I guess that this would be (almost)free advertising . Here is a crop from a message that talks about the fish fest:

It’s that time of year again when you can take the kids down to the ol’ fishin’ hole for a chance at reeling in a steelhead trout or possibly a muskie. The Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery will celebrate its 9th Annual Fish Festival this weekend with a full-scale celebration.

And here is the other crop, about the tornado:

The Butler and Wolf Lake areas reported rotation at 4:26 pm, with hail at Wolf Lake. A tornado was spotted 3 miles northwest of Wolf Lake.

Ok, is true, the two news are not related, because the second refers to a different 'Wolf Lake', but it wasn't that a weird relation between the cities ?! Lucky ones, does people from Pitcairn Island (which are about 50) because they own their Fish Fest every day and they have their own tornado (a while ago, Pitcairn Island was also on the front news, read more here).Even more, they have a prison there, so why not Pitcairn Island ?!

23 june 08: Pitcairn Island

Today, the headline on Google Trends is "Pitcairn Island". Why ? Because is one of the least populated islands in Pacific. But I would happily go in a vacation there, just look at the pictures, it looks similar to Robinson Crusoe's island. Below is a news release on the Pacific's population (dated 5th of June).

The population of the Pacific is set to reach nearly 9.5 million by the middle of this year. New data from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community shows the region's population is growing by 1.9 per cent a year, or 500 people a day. The population estimates are compiled by the Secretariat from country statistics. The report predicts the population of Melanesia will grow to more than eight-point-three million people, Polynesia to more than 655,000 and Micronesia more than 530,000 by mid-year. The largest individual country population is that of Papua New Guinea, which has an estimated six-point-five million people, followed by Fiji with nearly 840,000. The smallest is Pitcairn Island with just 66 people. Predictably, the fastest-growing population is that of Guam, where thousands of American troops are being relocated from Japan. Both Niue and the Northern Marianas are experiencing a decrease in residents, the latter because of the lack of jobs. Source: Radio Australia
