Sensible advice is lost in translation
Ian and Pam Young were intrigued to see this in a users' manual downloaded for a new fridge: "Install the refrigerator on the solid and level floor. Installing it on the unstable place may cause death by falling down the refrigerator when opening or
closing the door." Makes one wonder if it's even safe to open it.
A gem of an idea turns to ...
The Tampa Woman's Club in Florida held a fundraising event in which 400 flutes of champagne each held a gem. All but one were cubic zirconiums, and one lucky participant was to get a US$5000 ($5890) diamond. However, when the champagne was gone, the real diamond could not be found. Then, an elderly woman came forward and said she accidentally swallowed what was in her flute. "I thought someone will win this and I won't have to tell them," Miriam explained. Miriam immediately went to a hospital only to find out diamonds don't show up on x-ray. The very next day, Miriam went in for a routine colonoscopy and told the doctor to "be on the lookout for it in case". Her doctor ended up finding the elusive diamond. (Via: Fark.com)
