THE dangers of mobile phone use.
A man in eastern China has
had to make an embarrassing
call to the country’s emergency
services, after getting his arm
caught in a toilet whilst trying to
retrieve his mobile phone.
According to reports,
emergency workers had to break
the bowl entirely and undo most
of the loo’s exposed pipes to free
the man.
The upside of the event was
that the man was able to locate
his phone- but unfortunately it no
longer worked.
GENEROUS thief?
A Swedish professor lamenting
the loss of his life’s work after his
laptop was stolen, was shocked
when, just days after the theft, he
opened a letter to find a USB
containing the entire contents of
his computer.
The opportunistic thief took the
laptop out of the professors bag,
after it was left concealed behind a
door in his apartment stairwell
whilst the professor went to check
on his laundry.
Shortly after the bag
disappeared it was returned to its
hiding place, with contents intact
but minus the laptop.
“It is my life,” the professor told
media shortly after the theft.
“I have documented everything
in it that has happened in the last
10 years and beyond,” he said.
Following the return of his work
the professor told reporters that
he now has “hope for humanity”.
BEWARE the indigestion to follow.
Residents in the Mexican
township of Iztapalapa have taken
out the Guinness world record for
the world’s biggest enchilada.
Measuring 70 metres in length,
and weighing a mere 1500
kilograms, the enormous
enchilada was created out of
thousands of
corn tortillas,
white onions,
serrano chilis,
avacado, cheese,
cream, salsa,
green tomatoes
and beans.
