DEATH by mushroom.
Italian authorities are urging the
public to follow correct mushroom
hunting procedures after this
year’s mushroom season has
already claimed the lives of
seventeen people in just nine days.
Since the season opened two
weeks ago, the forested and
mountain areas of northern Italy
have seen ‘boom numbers’ of
mushroom lovers determined to
nab themselves an armful of fungi.
“There is too much
carelessness,” said Gino Comelli,
head of the Alpine rescue service
in Valle di Fassa, who was
responding to mushroom hunters
tactics of donning camouflage
and hunting in the dark to
protect their hard-sought
mushroom yields.
DESPERATE for the loo.
A serious John Lennon fan has
paid a phenomenal $16,000 for a
toilet once owned and used by the
Beatles legend.
Sold at ten times the auctioneers
expected price, the loo is made of
porcelain and is bordered with
blue and decorated in matching
blue flowers.
Lennon resided with the floral
dunny from 1969-1972 when he
had it removed for renovations.
The toilet was gifted by Lennon
to his renovation-builder, John
Hancock, telling the tradie
the loo might be nice as a decoration
with some flowers planted in it.
Rather than take his gardening
advice Hancock stored the toilet
in his shed for 40 years until his
death, when his son-in-law uncovered
it and put it up for auction.
PIANIST sans arms.
A Chinese man, Liu Wei, has
defied critics by becoming an
expert pianist despite having no arms.
Instead of fingers, Wei has
trained himself to play the piano
with his toes.
The 23-year old pianist is
currently enjoying celebrity status
after appearing on the T.V show
“China’s Got Talent’.
“Music has become a habit for
me... It is just like breathing air,”
he said.
