Cool and Interesting News & Such.

That ravine looks a long way down from the road. How on earth was he not killed? And were his other dogs OK? =(

The dog who ran for help is a very good boy. I hope Brandon and his family give him lots of love and appreciation.

(Damn it! Were are these onion ninjas coming from? We also, possibly, could use a "heart" icon for the dog).

Beautiful stories. So glad everything turned out OK. Thanks for sharing.

[Rath Darkblade]

Not so cool, or necessarily interesting, but just funny. Thief stashes an incredibly pricy bottle of whiskey in an unmentionable place.

So, one ... firstly, I was interested because this took place in my part of town. Secondly ... how the heck did he think he would get away with this? =P

And thirdly ... ew. Just ... ew.

Needless to say, I anticipate an arrest very soon ...

This has made my day, I hope it does this to you too

That's elephantastic. Mary had better pack her trunk, because Ancali isn't irrelephant!

Jokes aside, that's not surprising. Ancali obviously also wants a shower.

Not quite the same ... the divorce one is moderately amusing. The registrar one is horrifying.

This, especially, gets me:

‘The local registration service was advised earlier this year not to issue [corrected] certificates in this way.”

How are they supposed to fix a birth certificate, then? I'm confused.

Here's another horrifying story: Billionaire Boss Wants You To Pay For The Privilege Of Working With Him

... 'cos yeah, that makes perfect sense.

In local news, the town hall in Vlijmen was evacuated after a suspiciously smelling package arrived in the mail. It was very, very carefully opened by the explosives expert of the local police.

Who found it contained a children's book about farts.


I now kinda wonder if this happened to LSL7 sets back in the day.

That book's sales are gonna stink after this ordeal.

[Rath Darkblade]

I missed this. Now I can't stop laughing.

Just curious, BBP: was it a publicity stunt of some kind? If so, the marketing department who put that together will not be smelling of roses.

No, the book was a bit older than that.

But in my province on Monday, a daycare centre was evaucated due to a nasty smell. The fire brigade discovered the cause was a moldy mandarin.

So I guess we;re a cautious group of people.

[Rath Darkblade]

Nothing wrong with being cautious. It's better than ignoring it and finding something worse.

By the way, I can't read Dutch, but I recognised three words in the Dutch headline without peeking in the English or using google translate. I immediately understood "stank" (stink), "mandarijn" (mandarin), and "kinderdagverblijf" ("kinder day" ... um, and something ... sorry). *blush*

I'm not proud of it, of course. Those three words were easy to guess. The rest ... not so much.
