I’ve seen people rushing to the toilet but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the toilet rushing … or being rushed off the field.
Maybe the title for this post should have been “Guess this game’s in the Toilet!”.

No, I don’t mean that they can’t sing. I mean they can’t sing in the shower. One of Australia’s largest power suppliers suggested that Australians should stop singing and daydreaming in the shower because they are wasting hot water.
Apparently the average Aussie showers for seven minutes according to a survey conducted by Energy Australia. A spokesman for the company said that shower time is being taken up by activities such as shaving, singing, day dreaming, playing with toys, and brushing teeth. He suggests that Aussies could do a number of those activities over the sink. Yes but singing over the sink just isn’t the same as singing in the shower now is it?
Half-a-million shower timers have been sent to families in the country’s biggest city Sydney and surrounding areas to remind them to be more energy efficient.
What do you do while you are in the shower, dare I ask?

She was just brushing her teeth
A woman suffered severe burning to her anus after being struck by lightning which hit her in the mouth and passed right through her body.
Natasha Timarovic, 27, was cleaning her teeth at home when lightning struck the building.
She said: “I had just put my mouth under the tap to rinse away the toothpaste when the lightning must have struck the building.
I don’t remember much after that, but I was later told that the lightning had traveled down the water pipe and struck me on the mouth, passing through my body.
It was incredibly painful, I felt it pass through my torso and then I don’t remember much at all.”
Doctors at the city hospital where she was treated for burns to the mouth and rear said: “The accident is bizarre but not impossible”.
Of course it’s bizarre. Have you ever heard of such a thing happening before? I guess this is a lesson to all of us. Don’t brush your teeth (or shower, bathe etc) during a lightening storm. Or perhaps don’t bend down to sip water from the tap, use a plastic cup instead.
She was wearing rubber bathroom shoes at the time and so instead of earthing through her feet it appears the electricity shot out of her backside,” a medic told local television news. Ok, so I guess if you really must brush your teeth during a storm where you rubber soled shoes then. You might still get hurt but not as badly.
“It appears to have earthed through the damp shower curtain that she was touching as she bent over to put her mouth under the tap. If she had not been wearing the shoes she would probably have been killed by the blast.”
I wonder how long it will take the poor girl to recover. I wonder if her friends will call her “Lightening Butt” from now on? 😉
