HIDE and seek medical attention!
An 11-year old Chinese boy
has been rushed to the emergency
room of a nearby hospital, after
tumbling eight stories during a
game of hide and seek.
Determined to avoid detection
at any cost, the boy called Lan
Lan, hid himself from his
playmates by crouching on the
outside windowsill of his parents
eighth story apartment.
Soon after settling in on the sill
Lan Lan lost his balance and fell
down all eight stories, surviving
only because his plummet was
cut short of the sidewalk by a
bunch of trees.
Four hours after falling,
emergency services were able to
safely extricate the very lucky Lan
Lan from the trees, and treat his
skull fracture, spine and lung
damage, and superficial wounds.
GOODBYE diapers, hello toilet car! An American father has designed a world-first twin bowl toilet car. Dave Hersch took a total of four years to perfect his design, with the first prototype not even making it past the first driving test after its toilet fell off and smashed to pieces whilst Dave rounded a corner. The “car” was surprisingly inspired by a ‘Hot Wheels’ toy design, and features two toilets a 6.5hp motor, space for six toilet rolls and a magazine rack. Distinguished passengers are able to travel in the vehicle at a top speed of 30mph. “Adults take photos and kids jump up and down with excitement,” said Hersch. “It’s a great way to meet all the people in my neighborhood without all the typical grown-up formalities,” he added.
