The amazing invisible man

By Pot Luck

We’ve been watching a lot of Marvel hero movies and cartoons lately. Iron man and the Avengers are top of our list at the moment.  Wonder if Invisible Man would make a good addition to the Avengers.

Vote with your feet

By That's life

Last week I experienced an almost similar scenario. If my feet could have walked out on me they would have.

First I subjected them to a new pair of boots, to only create two blisters which grew and popped on both heels within 20 minutes of commencing my walk to work. Next, a friend at work offered a pair of other shoes to get me home in. They ended up being so tight across the toes that my toes cramped up. Somehow I managed to hobble to my car. The joy continues the following day with only one pair of shoes in my wardrobe that didn’t kill my heels. Unfortunately they were summer styled (winter at present) with exposed toes, so I couldn’t hide my white legs behind stockings (Well I could, but then the stocking and sandal look is somewhere even I am not willing to go to).  Again, I trekked to work, only to have the sling back fall lose, resulting in a pair of clogs, which wouldn’t have been that bad, if it was not for the fact they were high heels, so they clip clapped all day long.

Today I’m wearing sensible unfashionable sneakers.

The working woman’s tardis

By That's life

For years I refused to get a handbag, mainly because of the possible above scenario eventuating. I succumbed a few years ago now, but insisted on hunting down a bag with multiple compartments so I didn’t end up lugging around a sack and not being able to find anything.

And for the men out there, why not give the man bag a go?  You’ll wonder how you ever lived without one.

Warning: Thunder and lightning forecast

By Animals

Ever heard of cows dying mysteriously during a thunderstorm?

The reason is that there is a potential energy difference between the front and back legs. If the lightning enters the front legs, it will travel through the body in search of ground, which it achieves by exiting the back legs. The cow has become part of the electrical circuit and because of this potential energy difference, it’s zapped – and bang you’re gone. If you’re not adverse to a bit of blood, check out this local story on a cow that survived a lighting strike.

On a lighter note, how many times does lightning strike the earth?

  1. 1,000 times a second
  2. 1,000 times a minute
  3. once a minute
  4. 30 times an hour

The answer is one.
