Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I heard something on CBC this morning about how only 6% survive a heart attack outside of a hospital in Nova Scotia.
Of course my natural reaction to this was thinking that having a heart attack outside a hospital was quite a good place to have one, if you were going to.
Humour aside...a quick bit of googling suggests that's actually quite normal, even if quite surprising.

Policing experts in Canada have called for an overhaul of undercover tactics after reports that officers at a training session participated in “disgusting, appalling†behaviour, including penetrating a colleague using a vegetable, defecating on another and exposing genitalia. According to Global News and CTV, the BC Municipal Undercover Program was abruptly shut down after the workshop in May, which included a role-playing exercise in which some participants went to “extreme lengths†to prove they were not officers.

It used to be astonishing to learn that people lived beyond the North Circular, Now it's astonishing to learn how they lived

When I'm working at my computer with the headset on, every time I take a sip of tea or water I wonder what would happen if the mike dipped into my mug. Instant electrocution?
If anyone wants to try this out for me and (hopefully) report back I'd be very grateful.

They complain when it's too hot, complain when it's too cold. No pleasing some people.
