These occurrences happen more often than you think, but I still find them funny. ‘Missing’ drunk man accidentally joins his own search party. Cheers. |

Similar things have happened with a fair degree of regularity. The self-searcher may not have been drunk, just "having a kip" in a suitable concealed place of repose, has emerged from said place and heard that there is a search going on for a missing person. The thought pattern "Can't be looking for me as I'm not lost" kicks in, and being a public spirited person they join the hunt (for themselves) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Someone didn't notice which way up the sun rises?... That reminds me of an unbelievable series of 'muck-ups' for some outside contractors putting up an equipment room... The job should have been done within a month but took a lot lot longer running scarily into Christmas... The main 'highlights' started with the concrete floor not being sealed or painted and so it looked like something out of a flour mill for concrete dust! They tried to argue that sealing the floor was not in the finishing spec!! We then had:

Didn't catch them going 'around the houses' to charge for unnecessarily long cabling... How absolutely negligent of the contractors - they should have at least claimed to have run 4x cable so they could wire their new pool/patio/attic heaters along with their way over the top path lighting that could be mistaken for a small airport.....

Mayan artifacts discovered along train construction route in Mexico. Archaeologists say they have discovered hundreds of Mayan artifacts, including ceramic vessels and burial sites, along the route of a train construction project in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.I'm surprised that finds like these are still being found.

Ohio printed 35,000 wrong Wright Brothers license plates Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021, unveiled the new "Sunrise in Ohio" license plate in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio's new license plate failed to take off after the illustration of a banner in flight was attached to the wrong end of the Wright Brothers’ first plane. The new plate’s banner reads “Birthplace of Aviation.” The banner should have been trailing behind the plane but was attached to the front. (Jessie Balmert/The Cincinnati Enquirer via AP) |
