Officials Find Michigan Woman Trapped Inside Toilet Over 1 Stinkin' Gadget

Quote:

BAGLEY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A woman was rescued Tuesday from an outhouse toilet in northern Michigan after she climbed in to retrieve her Apple Watch and became trapped.

The woman, whose name was not released, lowered herself inside the toilet after dropping the watch at the Department of Natural Resources boat launch at Dixon Lake in Otsego County’s Bagley Township, state police said Wednesday in a release.

First responders were called when the woman was heard yelling for help. The toilet was removed and a strap was used to haul the woman out.

If the horse was able to escape the stall it should be alright? :D

Though this article was written two years ago, I’m not sure if anything besides talk has actually been done about it yet. But did you know the trash the E.U. and U.S. sent over seas to be processed was just dumped back into ocean or just strewn about?

Worst part of this story was it took over 2 decades for those illustrious investigative journalists to cover it. So back in the 90s when we got our recycling bin from the city, turns out they were just shipping our trash worldwide. :har:

This is why you should never trust your government, or those bleeding heart liberal environmentalists.

EU eyes tighter waste rules to limit countries shipping trash abroad

BRUSSELS, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The European Commission on Wednesday proposed a revamp of EU rules on waste shipments to make it harder for member states to offload their trash into poorer countries.

The proposed legislation, which needs approval from European Union countries and the European parliament, is part of Brussels' plan to reduce pollution and ensure materials like plastic, textiles and metals are reused and recycled, rather than thrown away.

"The goal is to make the EU take a greater responsibility for the waste it produces. That's not the case today and that's what needs to change," said EU environment policy chief Virginijus Sinkevicius.

The EU exported around 33 million tonnes of waste last year, around half of which went to poorer non-OECD countries with weaker waste management rules than in the EU - effectively shipping EU pollution abroad.

"Just think about all that plastic litter that comes from bad waste management," Sinkevicius said.

Under the proposal, a non-OECD country would need to notify Brussels that it wants to receive EU waste shipments, and prove it can treat the waste in an environmentally sound manner. If the country can do that, EU states can ship their waste there.

Waste exports to OECD countries would also face EU monitoring, and Brussels could suspend them if, after concerns are raised about such exports causing pollution in a certain country, there is insufficient evidence that the country can sustainably manage them.

EU companies would need to carry out independent audits for non-EU facilities to which they send waste, the Commission said, to prove they can treat the waste sustainably.

The EU proposal aims to push the 27 member countries to improve their capacity to reuse and process waste at home.

It would simplify rules for waste shipments within the EU, to help ensure plastic, paper, iron and steel can reach European recycling facilities. Brussels also wants more powers to investigate illegal waste shipments, it said.

The metals recycling industry has criticised the EU proposal, saying it treats plastic waste washing up on beaches and high-quality metal that goes into smelters the same way.

"They are comparing apples with oranges," said European Metal Recycling's Murat Bayram, adding that added red tape to export scrap metal would hurt the industry by preventing excess material from reaching end markets where they are needed.

The burning question has to be....did it have a pilots licence? :)

Boeing 787 lands on frozen Antarctic runway

A Boeing 787 made an icy landing at the Troll Airfield in Queen Maud Land, Antarctic.

On board were 45 researchers and 12 tonnes of research equipment, sent to the area as part of the Norwegian Polar Institute's operations in the area.

It's the largest passenger plane to have ever landed on the continent, the Institute said.

Largest??:nope:/\ :hmmm:...the sightseeing New Zealand DC 10-30 that "landed" at Mt Erebus was bigger than a Boeing 787. There are only two types landings: good ones you walk away from; and bad ones you don't! 257 passengers and crew all died on 11/28/1979...

Wow, the celebrities being born about now will be jumping all over this technology, I can just see them now, waking up and saying "I Want A New Pair Of Tits, And Ask Them If They've Perfected Those New Heads Yet" yes M'lady I'll give them a call right away, or the male celebrity, "I want A Bigger Weapon And Balls Of Steel, See To It Simpson" yes Master, I'll give them a ring right away. :haha:

Lets not forget, that if we hadn't been held back by Religion and the Thirst for War, we would have had this technology hundreds of years ago. Medical Science as well as all the other Sciences would have had astronauts visiting the other Solar Planets before we had even been born. :D

Does that make our Politicians a set of Murdering Bastards?, of course it does. :o

Another spotless giraffe has been discovered — this time, on a reserve in Namibia

A baby reticulated giraffe at a Tennessee zoo made international headlines last month when word got out that she was born without her spots. It was thought to be the only living giraffe in the world to hold the title — that is, until a wild spotless giraffe was, well, spotted at a reserve in Africa.

The Giraffe Conservation Foundation announced in a Monday news release that the spotless giraffe was found roaming around the Mount Etjo Safari Lodge, a private game reserve in Namibia. The foundation says the Angolan giraffe is the first ever spotless giraffe found in the wild.
