It's "Hump Day", Wednesday to other folks.

More rain, more lightning, lots of humidity in the air and it's all good.

I found a couple of odd-ball photos and a very weird news story coming from Australia. I'm sure you've read the article, but for those that missed it - here it is.

An Australian woman was rescued after spending a week wedged between her toilet and the bathroom door, an official said Tuesday.

The 67-year-old woman, suffering from dehydration, was taken to a hospital after firefighters in the eastern city of Ipswich ended her ordeal Sunday by removing the bathroom door from its hinges, Queensland state government spokesman Chantelle Rule said. The woman, who is diabetic, was not seriously ill, Rule said.

The woman, who has not been named, fell during the early hours of July 19 and somehow became trapped with her feet stuck on either side of the toilet bowl and her body wedged against the inward-opening door, Rule said.

Neighbour Michael Hibberd said he heard her cries for help as he hung his washing in his backyard Sunday morning. He could not open the door to her house and called police.

Hibberd said it was a reminder that people should look out for their neighbours.

"Just make a note of their movements and whatnot," he told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio. "If anything becomes a bit off - like, you haven't heard or seen them for a week or so - maybe just knock on the door and see if they're OK."

I really don't know what to say about that - on one hand its hilarious and on the other ...it would have been a crappy way to go.



and this one os just totally out there!

I couldn't let a weekend go by without sharing some of the nuttier news. It just wouldn't be right to keep it all to myself.

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile got itself into quite a pickle when it crashed into a Racine home Friday morning. Neighbors tell FOX 6 the Wienermobile took a wrong turn and ended up on the dead-end street, Kenilworth Avenue in Racine.

While trying to get turned around, the woman driving the hot dog on wheels accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake and lodged the Wienermobile under a house. Officials say no one was injured in the crash.

Women should leave weenie driving to men.

It’s not too unusual to hear stories of married couples who met online.

But it IS unusual when that couple that meets online and marries also has the same name.

In this case, it’s a guy from Texas named Kelly Hildebrandt and a gal from Florida named Kelly Hildebrandt.

In three months, they’re getting married.


and my absolute favourite of the day ...
One second a Staten Island teenager was walking down the street, the next second she was gone. Alexa Longueira was walking down Victory Boulevard and getting ready to text-message when she fell into an open sewer manhole. Now the city is trying to figure out why the manhole was left open and unblocked. Alexa suffered some cuts and scrapes but is otherwise OK. He mother says workers told her they left the manhole open and unattended for just seconds while they went to fetch some cones from their truck.

I wonder if she can walk and chew gum at the same time?
