I’M sharked.
If you’re selling bandages to
anyone, take a moment to think
about James Grant, a Kiwi junior
doctor who, when attacked by
a shark, sewed up his wounds
before heading to the pub for a
beer - then to hospital.
Grant was fishing at Garden Bay
when a shark had the same idea,
biting his leg and detaching only
when Grant had given the shark
“a few stabs” with a knife which
he lamented was too short, the
Southland Times reported.
Grant used a needle and thread
from a first-aid kit for his pig-hunting
dogs while waiting for
his friends to finish spearfishing,
after which they took him to
the local pub, who served him a
beer and some bandages to stop
his dripping on the carpet, and
then hospital for stitches, the
publication reported.
COW bomb.
‘Gassy cow’ is no longer just an
insult - it’s now the cause of an
explosion which damaged the
roof of a farm shed in Germany.
Methane gas from 90 flatulent
bovines built up in the shed,
located in Rasdorf, until a static
electric charge caused the gas to
explode with “flashes of flame,”
Reuters reported.
One cow was treated for burns,
the publication said.
