Especially if its a tattoo design. Penrith Panthers rugby league player Jarrod Sammut didn’t (or he did, but can’t spell himself – quite a likely possibility), and here’s the result.
Spot the error.
Still I suppose most of the bogans who get tattooed probably don’t notice bad spelling before defacing their skin with shit like this.
Some valuable advice from Taroko Gorge yesterday.
Seen on Saturday in Suzhou.
This is the sort of thing you think has got to be a joke, surely it couldn’t happen in real life?
Doctors in Peru amputated the healthy leg of an 86-year-old man, then amputated the other leg when they realised their mistake. He went in to have his right leg removed as it had an ulcer, but the doctors cut off his left leg, then upon realising it was the wrong one, cut off the right one too.
The Alberto Sabogal Hospital in the coastal district of Callao just north of Lima said it had suspended the doctors involved in the botched surgery for a life-threatening ulcer, pending an investigation.
I wonder what the doctors said when they realised their error – I’m betting “oh shit” would have been the first thing that went through their minds. Definitely one of those “oh shit” moments!
The turkey growing season this year in Tasmania was apparently excellent, with the nice weather meaning the turkeys have grown about 2kg heavier than usual. Great, you might think, more turkey for the customers to eat at Christmas, more money for the farmers.
Wrong! People who ordered a 3kg turkey for Christmas Day are likely to find themselves battling to get a bird that will fit in the oven.
"It’s a nightmare,"
said butcher Shane Mundy of Hill Street Gourmet Meats. Customers are really upset and many are cancelling their orders. Many people obviously do have issues coping with what you’d think is a fairly minor problem, as he went on to say:
"It’s caused mass panic and hysteria. People don’t know what they’re going to do”
Mr Mundy said he and his staff would work all through the night on Wednesday boning and rolling turkeys. He also said they’d have to freeze a lot of turkeys and that they’d be making lots of turkey sausages.
The turkey farmer claimed the problem was a cooler than expected year, which helped the turkeys grow. He said:
"They don’t tend to sit around as much as they do on a warm day, they get up and eat a lot more,"
He said his company was forced to sell a more premium boned and rolled product to butchers for the price of a regular turkey.
About his own Christmas, Shane Mundy had this to say:
"We’ll have a nice standing rib roast of beef on the Weber, the last thing I want to see is turkey on Christmas,"
As for me, its chicken and ham plus lots of salads for Christmas lunch with the family. We’ve never been great fans of turkey.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I saw this sign in a Beijing subway station yesterday.
I actually wonder if Everhonest is the sort of accountant you might actually need. Depends on what you want done, I guess. If I was into tax shelters and other schemes like that, maybe I’d prefer Slightly Dodgy Accountants?
With the new Angry Anus burger.
That’s what you get for employing dumb teenagers in your stores (its actually supposed to be Angry Angus – Hungry Jacks response to the McDonalds Mighty Angus). Actually I’m intrigued by McDonalds pushing their Angus burgers as a premium product … so what were they selling us before, dog food burgers (oh wait, I think I’ve just answered my own question).
Speaking of anuses, chicken nuggets come to mind – before they started making them out of “real breast meat” they were made out of chicken anuses, feet, beaks, eyeballs and other bits they could grind to a pulp and mash together into nugget shapes, so its not as if the junk food emporiums haven’t already been selling anuses before now.
Well not in this case. A patient in the Hobart Private Hospital noticed some bleeding from a wound drain after some surgery he’d had. He rang the call bell to get some assistance. After 10 minutes and no response, he rang his wife who rang the nurses’ station. Again, no response. He then rang 000 seeking help. The hospital’s night duty supervisor then went to the ward and arrived at the same time as two nurses. Lucky they did, otherwise it would have been a very short ambulance ride … from his hospital bed, to, his hospital bed.
As a man, I’m not sure I should be promulgating stories that just demonstrate that men are gullible desperadoes. But I will anyhow.
There is a myth circulating in China that there is a town in Sweden with a population of 25,000 sex-mad lesbians. It is said to have been founded in 1820 in the northern Swedish woods by a wealthy man-hating widow. The town’s female residents became lesbians “because they could not suppress their sexual needs”, according to Chinese media reports.
The Chinese media has embraced the story, with the result that millions of men are crippling the country’s internet providers trying to find out how to get to the town.
Local authorities in Sweden are mystified as to where the myth came from:
“At 25,000 residents, the town would be one of the largest in northern Sweden, and I find it hard to believe that you could keep something like that a secret for more than 150 years.”
A man called Dalton Chiscolm is apparently unhappy with the service provided by Bank of America. So what does he do? Sues them of course – for "1,784 billion, trillion dollars".
There are a couple of fundamental problems with his lawsuit.
First, the judge can’t figure out what Mr Chiscolm’s problem with the bank actually is. US District Judge Denny Chin said in a brief order released in Manhattan federal court.
"He seems to be complaining that he placed a series of calls to the bank in New York and received inconsistent information from a ‘Spanish woman’. He apparently alleges that checks have been rejected because of incomplete routing numbers."
Then there is the small matter of the amount of damages he is claiming. Chiscolm’s request is equivalent to a 1 followed by 22 digits. The sum also dwarfs the world’s 2008 gross domestic product of $60 trillion, as estimated by the World Bank.
"These are the kind of numbers you deal with only on a cosmic scale,"
said Sylvain Cappell, New York University’s Silver Professor at the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
"If he thinks Bank of America has branches on every planet in the cosmos, then it might start to make some sense."
Maybe someone should just give him a few Triganic Pu’s or Ningi’s and tell him to piss off?
