Lately a local radio station has been playing the classic Almond Joy/Mounds advertisement
My local station has been playing a current Almond Joy advert with a changed version of that jingle.

Say NO to milk chocolate, milk chocolate is fake chocolate and has lactose in it.

Well that didn't go well.

Retrieval operation underway after hundreds of drones plunge into Melbourne's Yarra River.

Potentially hundreds of drones are resting on the bottom of the Yarra River after a mysterious technical malfunction on Friday night sent them plummeting into the water in Melbourne's CBD.

The drones were to be part of a pre-game light show before the Matildas game against France at Docklands Stadium.

For reasons still to be determined, the drones broke off from their programmed routine and descended into the river at Docklands.

The incident was filmed by onlookers and the video was posted to social media.

The Australian Traffic Network [ATN], which owns and operates the drones, said 500 of them took off but as many as 350 of those failed to return.....
Better luck next time.

Uplifting moment caught of camera. Sadly it wasn't uplifting for 1 person.

Moment explosion tears through Johannesburg street.

It reminds me of another place elsewhere where the same thing happened.

Same here, the 1992 Guadalajara explosions.

New word for the day.
Allision occurs when a moving object (i.e., a vessel) strikes a stationary object (e.g., buoy)
Collision occurs when two moving objects strike each other.

Construction crane suffers fire and failure.

A burning crane collapsed and smashed into a skyscraper in New York City, injuring half a dozen people.

A burning crane collapsed and smashed into a skyscraper in midtown Manhattan early Wednesday morning, hurting at least 6 people.

The crane was located at a construction site on a 40-story building at 10th Avenue and West 41st Street, officials told ABC7....
There's a bit of Allision for ya. ;-)

Grant. That almost looks like my bathroom. The vanity sink cabinet is even closer on the left side. The empty toilet paper holder is poking me in the ribs on my left.

Damn, and I thought that my 10'x7' bathroom was small (even though I do have a 1m sq. shower instead of bathtub in it), and you fellows should stop talking about about your weight as you're making my 6'3" 120kg frame feel positively anorexic (and I know that I could do without 20kg of that). :-)

Anyhow several beers were had up at the pub and now it's time for something to eat before feeding Dog and grabbing a bit of shuteye before day 2 of the last cricket test starts in England.

We've also reached 15C (feels like 11C) here, but I doubt that we'll make that 16C mark at this time of the afternoon.

Cheers.
