I have no idea where this washroom is located, but I bet you’ve never seen sinks that look like that!

One man found out a few weeks ago that mixing technology and sweat is not a good combination. Reports claim a 20-year-old student known only as Wu opened his computer case to stop it from overheating but as his sweaty legs came into contact with the machine he electrocuted himself, delivering a deadly shock. Eastday.com reports the sweat triggered a shock of 380 volts.
Shocking!

It seems like a dangerous activity if you’re in the business of vandalizing church cemeteries.
In April a man vandalizing a cemetery by knocking over gravestones in Lilburn, GA was injured when one of the gravestones fell on him. His leg was crushed under the weight of the heavy stone and he lay on the ground wailing for two hours until someone came and rescued him.
You have to wonder if any passerby thought the cemetery was haunted that night.
Then, on May 6th, Michael Schreiber, 22, was in the midst of vandalizing a Calumet Park cemetery in Merrillville, Ind., when his legs were broken by a half ton gravestone that fell on him. He couldn’t call out for help as he was unconscious.
He’d already knocked over 14 gravestones when the half ton one fell on him.
It was about time one fought back.

My wife wrote a post on her site about how she wants us to get a dog one day. She’s got her eye set on a Boston Terrier, but I don’t know, if we were ever to get a dog I think that I might like a Basset Hound. I think they’re more my kind of dog.
Since she’s getting her heart set on a new pet I decided to do a bit of research and found myself on The Dog Guide. Just as I suspected they say that while Basset Hounds have been bred to be hunting dogs,commonly hunting animals such as the hare, rabbit, fox, pheasant, and opossum, they are also a generally calm and easy going breed.
We’re hoping to have children so if we decide to get a dog it must be a breed that’s known to get along well with young children and luckily the Basset Hound does have that reputation. They can be stubborn, but overall tend to be very affectionate dogs where their owner is concerned.
Since I’ve had a few scares with larger dogs I’m not interested in getting a large dog, so again the basset being a medium sized dog is perfect for our needs.
We enjoy being outside and so does the Basset Hound. It’s apparently a bit of a lazy dog while indoors, but like most dogs quite enjoys it’s time outside. I’m pretty sure if we got one it would not only get daily walks but some time outside in our garden.
If the Basset Hound gets a moderate amount of exercise and isn’t allowed to get heavy it sounds like it might have few problems as it ages. One that does gain weight or gets out of shape can get weak hind legs due to the strain of it’s long body. This weakness can even lead to paralysis. Foot infections and eye ailments occurs occasionally as well.
Compared to some dogs that seem to have a lot of problems as they age the Basset hound doesn’t sound like a hard breed to care for if you keep them in shape and I suppose keep an eye out for foot and eye problems.
I don’t know if, or when we might get a dog, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to do some research in advance to find a dog breed that suites your lifestyle.
Now I’ve gotta see if I can change my wifes mind about her choice of dogs.
