What was this woman thinking?
Using a cinder block as a driver's seat not a good idea. Especially if the car doesn't have a brake pedal
A Hilton Head Island woman learned the hard way that a car with a cinder block for a seat should not be trusted.
Just after 9 a.m. Monday, the 51-year-old woman got in the stripped-down Nissan sedan and backed out of the driveway of her Oleander Street home, according to a Beaufort County sheriff's report.
When she applied the brakes, she realized there were none -- the car didn't even have a brake pedal. So the woman jumped out, ran around back and tried to stop the car by pushing against it, the report stated.
The car continued to roll, pinning her against a palmetto tree.
A sheriff's deputy happened to drive by within a couple of minutes and noticed the woman waving him down as she lay near the car on a bike path.
She was taken to the emergency room. Her son pushed the car back up the driveway.
The deputy described the vehicle as completely empty inside, except for the cinder block seat.

So it is Alright to Drink Alcohol
Theory of Intelligence
In one episode of ‘Cheers’, Cliff is at the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm.
.
‘Well you see, Norm, it’s like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first . This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain! cell s first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.’

Free alcohol at Melbourne pub condemned
An Australian pub that hired a bare-chested, top-hatted dwarf to walk the length of the bar dispensing free shots of alcohol to customers has been condemned as outrageous.Jagermeister said ot would investigate the free alcohol dispensing dwarf stunt at The Saint pub in Melbourne
The diminutive drinks dispenser was recruited by a pub in Melbourne as part of a promotion for the spirit Jagermeister.
Drinkers tipped back their heads as the dwarf strode the bar, pouring free shots of the sticky black aperitif.
A spokeswoman for Liquor Licensing Victoria, a government agency, said the pint-sized purveyor's performance, a weekly occurrence, amounted to an example of "serving alcohol irresponsibly".

or that it looked like the pub was exploiting little people?
He's actually very cute.
Small Bits of News
Boy, 10, dies hours after swallowing swimming pool water
A 10-year-old South Carolina boy died last weekend several hours after he swallowed water in a swimming pool. Goose Creek police say Johnny Jackson swallowed some water while swimming in a pool at his apartment complex around noon on Sunday.
He later complained he was tired and took a nap. When someone checked on him, water was coming out of his nose and he was having trouble breathing. The boy later died at Trident Hospital.
Berkeley County Coroner Glenn Rhoad said the boy's lungs were filled with water and he died of asphyxiation. Rhoad said there was nothing suspicious about the death.
The boy, a fourth-grader called "Jon-Jon" by his family, essentially drowned, medical experts said. Not all drowning deaths happen immediately. Other phenomena, such as secondary drowning, can occur as much as 72 hours later and without any warning signs.

Drink too much water, die.
Not enough? die.
Drown? die.
A little bit of water in the lungs? die.

Man's 'Tumor' Turned Out to Be 25-Year-Old Towel
Surgeons in Japan thought they were removing a tumor from a 49-year-old man who was suffering from abdominal pain in late May.
Instead, they found a 25-year-old surgical towel that had crumpled into what looked like a softball-shaped tumor.
The patient apparently had been carrying the cloth since 1983, when surgeons left it in him after minor ulcer surgery.
He went to Asahi General Hospital in late May after suffering pain. Doctors, at the time, found what they believed to be an 8-centimeter tumor. "The towel was greenish-blue although we are not sure about its original color."

Boy Burned by Invisible Fire
Colo. — Coal dust sparked an invisible fire that heated the soil to 800 degrees and burned the feet of an 8-year-old boy, firefighters said.
Matt Bershinski walked into the fire Monday as he was playing in a park. It melted a plastic clogs to one of his feet and left him with second-degree burns.
There were no smoke or flames, which led firefighters to first suspect an underground mine was burning. Mining experts and geologists ruled that out but found a 2-foot-deep layer of coal dust
Hot weather and sunshine may have ignited the dust, authorities said.
Al Amundson of the state Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety said coal is constantly oxidizing and can ignite if the heat from oxidization is not carried away by wind.
Officials believe the dust was dumped by workers from a mine that closed in 1957.

Bless me father for I want to have sex
A couple were caught having a sex romp in a cathedral confession box during a 7am mass.
A stunned bishop called police after worshippers heard moans and groans above the organ music.
Cops pulled back a curtain and found two goths in their 30s engaged in a sex act in Cesena, Italy.
A source said: "One of them was kneeling but neither was praying."
The couple, who were booked for indecency, claimed they were atheists and that having sex in a church was no different to anywhere else.
The 700-year-old cathedral will have to be purified to "restore its sanctity", officials said.
