The biggest hobo

Conducted a not very scientific experiment to determine how many bits of broadsheet newspaper were required to provide the same level of warmth as my beloved (non-ironic) wolf-print blanket. Concluded that a minimum of 36 sheets - the equivalent of about two copies of the "Weekend Australian", minus the supplements - were necessary. Furthermore, they needed to be tucked in tightly under the body. Which makes newspaper a piss-poor substitute for a blanket in practice. The tramp on his park bench is OK while he's lying perfectly still, but as soon as he rolls over, the "seal" is broken.
