Where did the "passengers" on the Australian livestock ship 'Cormo Express' eventually find a home in late 2003?

Well Shady, after a whirlwind and exciting trip cruising the deep blue, the 58,000 passengers disembarked in Eritrea with a leisurely slaughtering to look forward to! Australia's international trade in live animals reached new heights of notoriety recently when 57,937 sheep on the M.V. Cormo Express were rejected by Saudi Arabia on the grounds they were diseased. The sheep then spent an additional eight weeks at sea amid frantic negotiations by the Australian Government and industry with over 30 countries in search of an alternative port. Ultimately the public were led to believe that the animals were on their way back to Australia when an agreement already had been reached with the East African State of Eritrea, which accepted the animals as a gift of food aid coupled with substantial food for the sheep and funds to cover associated costs. http://www.awionline.org/pubs/Quarterly/04-53-1/531p7.htm [Edited to add reference - McG] Jan 08 05, 9:02 AM

How many ponies where used in the "Pony Express"? How many Hercule Poirot mysteries did Agatha Christie write, I have only read The Orient Express and the Murder of Roger Ackroyd and thought they were really good and wanted others, if there aren't too many of them, can you list them here or where I can find a list? Miraculously whisked out of danger and its original location by heavenly beings, it was bestowed upon a nice little hill town, where a famous architect (and some not-bad artists) eventually provided it with a suitable setting. What is it, who was the architect, and can you, by any chance, find a painting that illustrates the "miracle"? Where can I find a story by Saki (H. H. Munro) about an older lady who encourages a boy to do a perfect job mowing her lawn? She tells him there's an average job, a good job, and an unrealizably perfect job, which he eventually does.
