Scouts hono(u)r

One disturbance/annoyance for all Londoners over the past few weeks has been the inexplicable proliferation of Scouts, of the Boy and Girl variety.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Scouts, which were founded by an English bloke. So every single scout in the entire world is in London right now -- more than a little unsettling when you consider the economics of it all: the supply of goodwill is far exceeding the demand. Every old woman is being escorted across the street by literally hundreds of scouts. And that's just the beginning.

Seriously though, I'm pretty sure they're breeding, because I see more and more bandanas everyday. Consider that some of these scouts are Russians, and the ages range from 12-24. 24!

Apparently scouts from some developing countries are defecting to the EU. That's not very scout-like.
