Workmen fill in pothole with remains of rabbit carcass

Workmen tarred over a dead rabbit as they filled in a hole in the road. Carl Garnham, 41, was shocked to find a newly-repaired pothole with the rabbit’s body sticking out from under the patch.

He said: “I was out with a friend heading to the Strines pub when we parked to admire the view – and saw the pothole.
“At the time we laughed a little about it and thought that the workers who had filled in the hole had maybe a strange sense of humor or perhaps were running out of patching tar. God forbid they start filling potholes in with cats and dogs!
“It is all very funny but what about the damage to the car suspensions because of poor road maintenance. Do they need qualifications to fill these potholes?”

Small Bits of News You Didn’t Know You Needed

'Females are failed males,' says 16th century book
A guide written in 1505 has been found and it contains 'secrets' about females that take political incorrectness to extremes.
Perhaps the worst of the advice is that ‘females are failed males’. The book, De Secretis Mulerium (The Secrets of Women), also suggests men wanting to check if a woman is a virgin should ask her to sniff lettuce. If she then wants to go to the toilet she is ‘corrupted’.
Other revelations include women being able to kill animals with a glance during their time of the month and odd food cravings in pregnancy being down to ‘evil humors’.
Husbands who want a male child are told to give their wives wine that contains the pulverized womb and intestines of a hare. Once pregnant, the female will have a girl if her left breast is bigger than her right and a boy if it’s the right.
