Bizzare News Thread

SgtSarros · 09-18-2006, 07:35 PM

post any strange or bizzare stories you've heard here for the other readers to enjoy.

For example:

Woman writes name and drivers license number on bottom of fern pots, now worries about identity theft after plants are stolen.

So one ex steals your car, then your other ex took the car back, uses another ex to attempt to return it and managed to make an ex of the car as well. Sounds simple, right?

^ Can I just say about the air traffic one above:

By law, all aircraft must be able to safely fly/land with only 50% power. In the case of the 4 engined 747, it can fly on only 2 of its engines safely enough. They also have 2 extinguishers in the engines in case of fire, so it sounds like they put it out.

This is the kind of story the media love to give only one side to readers. So don't believe all you read ;P
