That was in our paper's 'Odd Spot' section, in fact, this whole paragraph was in it word for word:

Quote: "A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man’s house and set it on fire."


I wonder if they're allowed to publish another article word for word? I would've at least thought they would rewrite it.

better than the news in my local paper:

"Man gets stuck in washing machine"

A local man was found stuck in his washing machine by the fire brigade after he was discovered by his kids. The local man, aged 30, was playing a game of hide and seek with his kids, when he decided to hide in the 8(or is it 80)kg top load washer. After being discovered, he foun he was stuck, after a half an hour of trying to free himself with teh aid of lubricants the children rang 000. Chief (mr X.) of the local fire brigade got the call and expected to find the adult stuck by just his hand, however when they arrived they saw the problem was more ticky than that. The fire brigade assured the mans sister that they would only cut open the machine as a last resort. After unsuccessfully prying the man free with straps under his knees, the cheif grabbed him by the ankle, twisting it to free the rather embarrassed man.


Ok so that story is third hand, (I tyoped it from what i recalled from the newspaper) but it is actually true, photos and all.

its even funnier that he's old and probably was helpless to run and stop it. and even more hilarious that he's old and probably has nowhere to go. perhaps next time he will be more considerate.
