I think the sign says it all!
It’s funny how unintended words or phrases appear when a signs lights fail.
Angry wife was really fired up
A spurned Chinese wife from the Eastern province of Shandong China was so upset with her husband that she set more than 400 cell phones on fire!
The couple co-owned a successful retail business and when her husband walked out on their marriage she retaliated by destroying their stock of mobile phones valued at more than $42,000 US. After she set fire to the phones she walked out of the house.
Luckily neighbors saw smoke coming from the house and called the firefighters who extinguished the blaze quickly.
The 37 year old woman has been arrested for arson.
Squirrels accidently shut off electricity in two cities
Hundreds of Midwestern Power customers and two squirrels were very unlucky one day last fall.
Apparently a squirrel came into contact with an overhead transformer and knocked out service to 177 customers. Power was restored in just under an hour, but naturally the squirrel lost it’s life. The remains were found by repair crews.
Just 40 miles away in Ironwood, Mich, another squirrel got into a substation and caused a temporary power outage that affected 1400 customers.
The power company is now thinking about what kind of steps it can take to keep curious animals away from the lines as they, along with weather, are one of the leading causes of power outages.
“We kind of liken it to anyone who’s had a bird feeder and tried to keep the squirrels out,” said the power company spokesperson. “They find a way.”
Good luck!
Snake on Wheels
Martin Baylis of Plymouth, Devon was a very nervous man after having had a snake hide in his car for four days He ended up dismantling his car in order to retrieve the serpent.
Martin had been transporting the reptile, Dave the rat eating Sinaloan milk snake, to his 20 year old son Chris’ home when it escaped from the tank. The tank had been in the trunk of the car and by the time the discovery was made the snake had vanished into the vehicles bodywork.
Martin went to work removing the seats and dashboard but he still couldn’t find the snake.
Over the next few days the snake occasionally popped out of crevices in the car three times while poor Martin was driving. Baylis finally managed to trap the sneaky snake in a pillow case.
The dad of three said: “It’s an unnerving feeling knowing there’s a 4ft snake circumnavigating the whole car.”
