You Have The Flu, NOT Ebola

OK, stop it. A woman who feared she had Ebola rushed herself to the nearest hospital but was promptly told it doesn’t count if you were in Africa TWO years ago. Oh and if you worked in Dallas but were nowhere near the Ebola patient, odds are you have a nasty flu. Seriously people, you are clogging up the system.

Psst Meanwhile the one person who could have it is riding around the town on a bike in defiance.

Whoopsie Daisy

The groom is off to a fine start ….

Concealed Weapon

A female thief in Germany has found a unique way to rob a pharmacy. She squirted her breast milk at the staff, which  distracted and probably horrified them, before she took off with the money in the till. The woman was described as “robust” and spoke in some weird language. Hmm, so was that a booby trap?

The Amelia Earhart Mystery Finally Solved

Yesterday’s announcement that a piece of metal found on Nikumaroro (Gardner Island) in 1991 was part of Amelia Earhart’s plane is cold comfort. Seems poor Amelia and Noonan were stranded like the professor and Gilligan (minus coconut cream pies) on an atoll , 550km from where search planes were looking. Even more unluckier, none of the islands , including Gardner (which they believe Amelia and Noonan were on) had any fresh water. Experts are convinced the riveted metal that was found was attached to the fuselage of her plane. Along with the piece of metal, skin care products, a shattered cosmetic compact , a pocket knife, bottles and traces of a camp fire were also found. If both had survived the initial crash it would be unlikely that they would have survived very long without water.

Look Away

This is what happens when you get your snake bite treated by your tribe instead of medics. The poor girl from Venezuela was bitten by an unknown snake but spent a month being treated by natural remedies before they decided to take her to hospital. The girl may not survive despite having her leg amputated as the venom could have affected her entire body. Sad.

Road Boo-boo

This is something I would do 😦  Can’t blame the keyboard on this one!

Will We Ever Learn?

OK, no need to panic but seriously, why would you build a friggin nuclear plant near a volcano? A Japanese scientist is predicting that Mt Ioyama is gonna blow. Which is scary because the Sendai nuclear plant is 40 miles away. Just another thing to worry about.
