THE spirits are angry.
If you’re mystically inclined, or
have angered the denizens of a
supernatural realm, it may be best
to move any crystal balls away
from your windows; London fire
fighters are warning people about
the dangers of glass objects,
such as crystal balls, bottles and

shaving mirrors and glass objects
had caused 33 fires in the city
over the last five years, the
Telegraph reported.
GIANT fruit salad.
Residents of Bowen, don’t
despair - the theft of the giant
mango was a publicity stunt.
The three storey homage to
mangoes was stolen from outside
Bowen’s information centre on
Monday by a crew captured on
CCTV as wearing balaclavas and
piloting a crane.
The theft prompted various
responses, including a Facebook
page to track it down, and a
Gumtree prankster’s offer to
swap it for the giant banana from
Coffs Harbour, the Courier Mail
reported.
However Nando’s has claimed
responsibility, after the mango
was found covered with tarps in a
paddock behind the information
centre, the Guardian reported,
with Twitter suggesting it was
a promotional stunt for a new
sauce; special mention goes to
the genius who coined the phrase
‘Mango Unchained’.

Run by magazine The Bookseller,
co-ordinator Tom Tivnan said the
Diagram Prize highlighted the
importance of an eye catching
title, Reuters reported.
