A construction project in Scotland has been halted because it might disturb fairies.

I know they run across this a lot in Iceland - I wrote a story on it for InterZone. You can't build on top of a fairy's house. I don't know how they know that a fairy's house is there, because they are invisible, but presumably there's some kind of complaints procedure via the planning department.

Let's hear it for the fairies! They have rights too.

Now only if we could do something like that to stop paving over all of Florida.
