British man’s bacon complaint goes viral

After picking up a package of bacon at his local Tesco supermarket, Ben Roberts was floored to find just six pieces in a package that advertised seven. While many would simply be sad and move past the outrage, shock and disappointment were just too much for Roberts to bear. He took to Facebook, and in a 500 plus word rant poured his heart out to Tesco’s community page.

"SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! There was only six rashers of bacon. Six. I could not believe it! Mortified! I called my other half into the kitchen but quickly dismissed her as she did not seem to understand the problem," we wrote.

Woman gives bizarre answer as to how house fires started
“It was cause of my cousin and I don’t want to mention no names,” Heather Tenney said. “He is mad because he can’t get with me. I am married to my husband.”

Rattlesnake selfie lands man $150K doctor bill
SAN DIEGO -- A local man who was nearly killed while trying to take a selfie with a rattlesnake racked up a whopping $150,000 hospital bill.

Doctors depleted the anti-venom stash at two different hospitals to treat Todd Fassler, who as it turns out once had a pet rattlesnake of his own. He sent us video he says shows him setting his snake free.

Ships on alert as Kick 'em Jenny volcano rumbles to life off Grenada
http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/25/americas/kick-em-jenny-volcano-rumbling/index.html



(CNN)An active underwater volcano is rumbling beneath the Caribbean Sea. And scientists say an eruption could sink ships and shoot up hot rocks into the air.

The volcano, Kick 'em Jenny, sits off the northern coast of Grenada. Officials raised its threat level Thursday to orange, which means it could erupt with less than 24-hour notice.

Kick 'em Jenny started stirring on July 11, and has produced more than 200 small earthquakes since then, according to the Seismic Research Centre at the University of the West Indies.

Even though the crater is about 600 feet (180 meters) below the surface of the ocean, the volcano is a hazard to locals and ships in the region.

Stay away, ships warned

To clear its path and reduce risks, scientists set up an exclusion zone for ships around the volcano. Recreational ships must stay at least 5 kilometers (3 miles) away from the summit of the volcano.

If it erupts, Kick 'em Jenny could displace seawater and produce a tsunami, though the risks of that are relatively low, scientists say. If an eruption causes a tsunami, it is likely to be small and confined to nearby islands.

But other risks to shipping and marine vessels in the region are especially significant.

Underwater or submarine volcanoes release intense amounts of gas into the sea during eruptions -- and at times in between eruptions during a process called degassing.

Such gas bubbles lower water density and can cause ships to lose buoyancy and sink.

Hot rock projectiles

In addition to putting ships at risk of sudden sinking, an eruption could throw hot rocks, known as ballistic projectiles, up through the water and into the air far above the ocean surface. Such rocks can go up to 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the volcano and have the ability to significantly damage or destroy ships.

One of Grenada's worst maritime disasters is believed to have occurred as a result of degassing from the Kick 'em Jenny volcano in 1944. At least 60 people died when a ship sank with 60 people on board.

Kick 'em Jenny has erupted a dozen times since it was discovered in 1939, scientists say.

Its last eruption was in 2001.

And your point is exactly........what?

Your point in saying so is lost on me.

It just sounds a bit off. Maybe I'm bad at math but can more than 60 people die if there are 60 on board. Maybe I'm missing some facts here.

I myself would include the crew in the 60 on board. But if someone is eight months pregnant, does that count once or twice?

Ok I figured it out, it was a special ship where the crew were on the outside of the hull, and 60 were on board, it all makes sense to me now.
