I am never entirely sure how to take your stuff, Ringo Zingo.
Is it fact, is it fiction, is it a wind up? However it IS always worth reading, and for that reason, as well as because it does not deserve to have been ignored for a year, I am bumping this up to the top of the pile in the AWW.
Thanks for posting it. I am sorry we ignored it for so long.

Fact, I guess 
This is interesting. I can't find anything to verify it because polo is such a common word, and apparently the spanish word for pole.
There appears to be a Dominican hotel named Polo Magnetico...

Intriguing! I found the phenomenon mentioned on three other web sites, but no explanations of it. One had a picture of a group of people investigating it by lying on the road! Perhaps waiting to see if they'd start rolling up it 
. Not an illusion and not magnetic force - what else is there? I'd love to know more.
Thanks for posting it RingoZingo.

Can you post the links here Waz? I am cheeky, lazy and curious! Don't bother if they are not in your 'History' files.

Another one! And within reach too. Relatively.
Ben, the web sites I found were these. They don't say much - I like the picture in the last one.

Really? how fascinating. I'd love to go to the links, but I can't leave the BBC in work. I think everyone should know about this. Thank you for the opportunity to go 'wow'.

This is a wow piece but I don't think it's UG stuff. Proposing a move and the addition of this to a CAC list.

I agree and will add it to a CAC list. The thing about the CAC option is that the links can be added.
