Traffic-stopping bra and panties!

It's true. In Durham County, England (beautiful place, btw) someone flushed a bra and panties down the loo and it combined with french-fry grease and other non-flushables to clog the artery of the sewage system. In fact an entire 10 meters of road collapsed.

Also in England, a CCTV was set up to watch a particular spot to determine who was letting their dog crap there every day. Turns out it was a person. Ew.

Oh my.

My older brother used to have a bit of trouble with sleepwalking and wetting.

He'd get up, throw his drawers in the bathtub, pee, flush and go back to bed.

One day he noticed that he couldn't find any clean shorts. It was just around the time we had a MAJOR sewage/plumbing problem.

Hehe. He'd been peeing in the tub and flushed about 4 pairs of undies down the toilet over the course of a week or so.

Interesting that people couldn't tell the difference. I guess it's easy for me since mine (dogs, that is) are small so there dueces are too.

Whilst this country goes to the dogs, apparently the blame for the dog crap doesn't.

Bet it was a Romanian.

You like Durham, too?! I'm having 2nd thoughts about my 2nd thoughts!

I thought of you this morning when one of my Malaysian colleagues was giving a long-distance talk about her home country: "Famous Malaysians - some of you may have heard of Jimmy Choo?"

Did you ever see the world's 1st webcam? It was in a coffee room at Cambridge. I loved downloading that picture!
