Cow In Tree

A cat stuck up a tree is a standard mercy mission for firefighters, but crews in Oxford ended up going to the rescue of a cow stuck in one. In this case, curiosity nearly killed the cow.

In her defense, she's British, after all.

 

Got By Granny

The Antifa terrorist who threw the bomb at the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse in Portland has been identified thanks to a tip from someone that knows him; his grandmother. He has not been identified by name yet but he is allegedly the one, having been identified by his grandmother from pictures of the night of the bombing.

Well, that's a bit awkward.

 

Found It For Ya

If you happen to be missing an island, you can reclaim it in Muskegon.

 

Pretty Crappy

A construction worker was contemplating life in a Pennsylvania Porta-Pottie when a storm gave him a dose of reality.

And you thought your day was bad. An unlucky guy was “flushed” inside a porta-potty when a sudden storm swept through this Dresher, Pennsylvania, construction site. “Oh s—!” the man filming said as he witnessed his buddy climbing out of the tipped-over toilet.

Indeed. And probably more.

 

Something Smells

A rare and once-endangered fish, which makes its home in a southern Oregon lake that can reach temperatures of up to 104 degrees, has made a full recovery and was removed from the endangered species list, according to federal officials.

The Borax Lake chub, which lives only in Harney County’s Borax Lake, was granted emergency protection under the Endangered Species Act in 1980 after its numbers dropped precipitously due to geothermal projects around the lake, shoreline degradation from off-road vehicle use and development.

When fully grown, it's essentially a bait-fish; running to a whopping two inches long.

Borax Lake is fed by geothermal springs, accounting for the lake’s extreme temperatures, and the lake also contains high levels of borax, arsenic and lead. Despite high levels of chemicals toxic to other animals, the Borax Lake chub thrive in the 10-acre lake, keeping to the edges where temperatures were more suitable. It is the only animal that is known to live in the lake’s harsh environment.

Presumably, it feeds on algae or something like that, as it apparently has nothing to hunt. I wonder how much in tax dollars were spent to save this important fish. Reminds me of the great California Delta Smelt escapade.

 

 

When Pigs Fly

They take a 747 from France to China.

Volga-Dnepr Group has flown more than 3,000 breeding pigs to China from France this year. The animals -- transported 6,450 miles (10,400 kilometers) in wooden crates in the hold of a Boeing 747 cargo plane -- are being used to restore local livestock levels to help mitigate shortages in the world’s largest pork market after an outbreak of African swine fever decimated China’s hog herds.

Undoubtedly, they'll be happy as pigs in mud when they finally disembark.

 

The Latest COVID-19 Issue:

Increasingly, rodents are moving into car engine compartments as the vehicles are parked for long periods of time due to the lockdowns. Typically, their activity results in a repair bill of $400-$600, which is not covered by insurance. Your best preventive move is to drive the car once a day, as that tends to scare them out.

 

Paging Dr. Strangelove

If you're in the market for a decommissioned set of nuclear reactor control panels, you can pick this up for only $124 (shipping not included).

The auction runs until June 2nd, so you still have a few days to figure out where to put your new (old) decommissioned nuclear reactor control panels.

The parts alone might be worth it - or not. But considering the antique value....

 

 

What A Load

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. —

A suspected DUI driver spent the latter half of his Memorial Day weekend in a stinky situation after crashing into a liquid manure storage pond in Sacramento County, officials said Monday.

Reportedly, he spent two hours in the manure pond prior to being extricated and arrested. Not that he really gave a crap.

 

Just Havin' Myself A Cold One, Occifer...

BIBB COUNTY, Ga. - Bibb County deputies have arrested a man after they say he was caught having sex with a dead woman outside a local homeless shelter.

Hey, if she'd objected, he'd have left her alone.
