[CW] Morse code announced to be Immaterial World Heritage of theUNESCO

[Danny Douglas via CW]

This while thing confused me for sure.  They want to make it 
"immaterial:?  Then they want to protect it?   You cant do one by doing 
the other.  In my dictionary (inside the skull), immaterial means its 
something that doesnt count, or is useless..
