INSURANCE companies certainly
hear some amazing excuses, and
these ones, reported by UK firm
mobileinsurance.co.uk are no
exception.
A British farmer has lodged a
claim for replacement of his
mobile phone, after accidentally
damaging his handset by inserting
it into the rear end of a cow.
He said he was using the iPhone
as a torch during calving
Other bizarre phone excuses
include a woman who says she
“absentmindedly” baked her
Nokia 6303 into a cake she was
making for her daughter’s
birthday; while another lady
sought replacement of a Samsung
Galaxy which she said was
snatched from her hand by a
“rogue seagull” when she was out
walking on a beach in Wales.
NAIL clippers have come in handy
for a South African activist, who is
hoping to stamp out the poaching
of rhinoceri.
Mark Wilby has been sending
toenail clippings to the Chinese
embassy in Pretoria, to make the
point that rhino horn is made up
of keratin - the same protein
present in human nails and hair.
Rhino horn sells for prices
higher than gold in some
traditional Chinese medicines,
and Wilby says he’s trying to get
the attention of authorities.
He’s produced a YouTube video
also calling on others to cut their
nails and post them to the
embassy - CLICK HERE to view.

is a plan to heat bicycle lanes
during winter.
Many Dutch aren’t able to take
their bikes out in the colder

forms on roads.
And those who do take to the
roads are often involved in
accidents due to the slippery
surfaces, with the proposal to
utilise geo-thermal energy costed
at about A$100,000 per mile.
