Sleep is the theme of today's quiz to mark an Irish court's judgement in a truly bizarre case involving the sleepwalking 67 year old David Kansella, who, after being adjudged to have been libeled, was this week awarded ten million euros. Having been discovered sleepwalking naked around a hotel in Mozambique during a business trip, his mining company employers had publicly stated they would be seeking his resignation after he had been found outside the room of a female colleague. The court upheld Mr Kinsella's assertion that he had been made a laughing stock as despite the suggestion that was placed in the public domain that something lewd had occurred, it had not.
