Tips, South Afric, Plastic two-litre cool-drink bottles designed to k
Before the invention of the plastic two-litre
cool-drink, bottle
filed with water,
and left on the lawn
to keep the dog off
,suburban residents who
wanted to keep dogs
of lawns were forced
to resort to methods that have been described
as cruel and unusual, bx the United Nations on Canine Rights.
In a report filled by a Watchdog monitoring organisation, based in
Brakpan, these methods
were found to include -
Running out of the house
and shouting -VOETSEK-
at the dog, fencing
the lawn with low-voltage
electric perimeter wire
designed to give a mild
shock to anyone who tripped over it while chasing, dogs of the lawn, and peltimg dogs with empty plastic two-litre
bottles.
The Organisation even
mornitored one incident in which a householder hurled a plastic two litqe cool-drink bottle filled with water at a Maltese Poodle that had allegedly been
loitering with intent in the vicinity of a priye bush.
I find that empty
plastic two-litre bottler
do not have enough
velocity to sufficiently
deter alleged canine - explained Mr Rex Gardener of Pampoenpoort.
Although the bottle
missed and landed in
the middle of the lawn- Mr Gardener has not been bothered by dogs of of any variety since.
Scientists, dog expertr
and manufacturer of plastic cool drink
bottles have been unable to explain why a
plastic two-litre cooldrink bottle filled with water should be so effective in keeping dogs off a lawn.
But there can be nn doubt that the system works.
Just ask any suburban
householder with a
lawn full of unsightly
yellow patches shape like plastic two-litre
cool-drink battles.

Attraction, Big Hole In Kimberley
Once the scene of the world's largest diamond rush, the sleepy hollow of Kimberley is today the scene of the world,s biggest hole in the ground, unless you count PittsBurg In the U.S.
Formely known as the Small Hole Of Kimberley, the Big Hole Of Kimberley grew to its current colossal dimensions as a result of intensive archaelogical excavations to dertermine if there was anything else to do in Kimberley.
Please do not throw any coins or valuables into the Big Hole of Kimberley, as it is inconsiderate to people living on the other side, of the hole in Wellington, New Zealand.

How To, Is that a trick question?
OK guys. I know what you're thinking_but you're wrong...
OK..Maybe I dont know what you're thinking but_ You're still wrong.
Since I,m such a genius- I,ve decided to grace My opera community with a vaguely funny post focusing on yes you guessed it - Trick Questions.
Trick Question - Nobody knows why they,re called trick question unless you do - in that case I take that back.
What exactly is this - Trick question - Basically a trick question is an obvious question.
Its trickiness will depend on how you answer it.
Even the FBI use trick questions to fool into telling the truth - for example : The officer will ask - sir where were you on the 2nd of june at 3,oclock in the morning?
And this Question will develop into a long winding confrontation, that will lead you into prison.
But worry no more -OLDER PEOPLE- You wont have to go to prison because of this question.
Sensing a trick question is like looking for a needle..
In a needle stack.
If someone asks you an obvious question like : Who wants tons of money? Don,t panic just say - Duh? -
I know what you,re thinking- Is that a trick question? -
No It isnt? The phrase : Duh?
Means : Is that a trick question?
It was said in the late 2000s by some young person who was too lazy to asks - Is that a trick question?
So there you have it- If someone asks you a really obvious question - You know what to say.
Here.s a range of Questions that can be tricky and fatal, depending on how you answer them-
> Hey, hon Does my rear look fat in these jeans?
> Do I look stupid to you?
> Who wants to die?
> Would you still like me if I was uglier?
> Where were you yesterday at 3,oclock in the morning?
With all this questions clouding your judgement, rest assured that you can just say : Duh?
This should terminate the conversation at once - If this does not happen- dont blame me.

America, Weird, news
When Mica Craig reached down to brush what he thought was a stick off some mulch in the garden section of a Washington state Walmart, it turned around and sank its fangs into his hand.
The Friday encounter with a rattlesnake sent Craig, 47, to the hospital, where he said he remained in excruciating pain and may lose feeling in two fingers. Wal-Mart Stores Inc has apologized.
"I reached down to grab the stick to move it out of the way, and the snake stretched out, turned around and got its fangs in my right hand," he said. "I slung it off and I did a tap dance on it until it was dead."
Craig was rushed to the hospital by fellow customer Maria Geffre, who told Reuters she saw him crumple to the ground after crying out that he had been bitten by a snake.
"He had punctures on his hand and there was the dead rattler he'd stomped on," Geffre said, describing the snake as at least a foot long with four buttons, or rattles.
Craig, a married father of two, said the mulch was for his marijuana plants, which he is licensed to grow for medical reasons. It was unclear whether the snake came from an adjacent field or arrived at the store along with garden supplies.
Craig said doctors who initially thought the snake had inflicted only a "dry bite" - or one that did not inject venom - treated him with six bags of anti-venom after his right hand swelled to the size of a melon.
A Walmart spokeswoman offered an apology to Craig and said the retailer was looking into how the incident could have happened at the store in Clarkston, in eastern Washington.
"At this point, it appears to be an isolated incident. We are working with a pest management team, which is conducting a sweep of the property to ensure there is no additional rattlesnake activity," Walmart spokeswoman Kayla Whaling said.
Travis Taggart, director of the Center for North American Herpetology, said about half of documented rattlesnake bites, which are usually defensive when directed at humans, are "dry" but still cause severe pain.
