The Highways Agency found over 200 dead crows on the M4 near Bridgend, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be from vehicle impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with motorbikes, while only 2% were killed by cars. The Agency then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorbike kills versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "bike".

When will people learn that taking selfies is dangerous. India’s Amer Fort in Jaipur hit by lightning bolt that kills at least 18 people. India will give compensation after 18 people were killed while taking storm selfies when a popular tourist attraction was hit by lightning.But 1 must question the reason behind compensation being given out. Cheers. |

Selfie-takers are not 'smarter than a fifth grader' let alone a bunch of kindergarteners and make frequent Darwin Awards nominee's. Edit to add re: payment to the deceased families - wasted money. |

D'oh! Misplaced chair shuts down nuclear plant in Taiwan Surprisingly a real-life scenario and not a plotline from The Simpsons An investigation by the Association for Natural Energy pinpointed the cause: misplaced furniture. Staff working in the control room moved the chair to clean and, in the process, knocked the acrylic protective cover of a main steam isolation valve switch causing it to tilt, shift, and close, setting off a chain reaction that tripped the main steam turbine and stopped the reactor. |

Scam-baiting YouTube channel Tech Support Scams taken offline by tech support scam 'It was pretty convincing until the very end,' says host Jim Browning "So to prove that anyone can be scammed," Browning announced via Twitter following the attack, "I was convinced to delete my YouTube channel because I was convinced I was talking [to YouTube] support. I never lost control of the channel, but the sneaky s**t managed to get me to delete the channel. Hope to recover soon." |
