Kitten Saved by Vacuum Cleaner

A fire crew in Dunbar, East Lothian, rescued a kitten using a vacuum cleaner. The six-hour-old kitten was trapped in a drain. To get the kitten out, the fire crew used a vibrascope camera to locate the kitten then attached a sock to the end of a vacuum cleaner hose in order to extract the animal.

Props to the BBC for reporting this little gem of a story. No one wants to read about cute, fuzzy animals dying in drains on a Monday morning.

P.S. Personally this is delightful news considering my own vacuum owes of the weekend. In desperate need of a vacuum, but unwilling to pay $600 for one, I exchanged a pan of brownies for an old vacuum that belonged to an acquaintance. The vacuum did NOT work even after I tried to fix it. I am glad that somewhere in the world there is working vacuum being put to good use.

Thong Bandits Caught

The two men who wore women's thong underwear over their faces while robbing a store in Colorado have been caught. Video taped with skimpy panties covering half of their faces, the two men turned themselves in to police after the tape was aired across the United States. 

Check out the article found on BBC's website. The picture is amusing to say the least! 

Lost Divers Found

For two days three British divers exploring Indonesia waters were missing. The divers had been swept twenty miles from where they were initially diving and were adrift for nine hours. They ended up on a remote island, where the divers were discovered. Their families were overjoyed to learn the worst had not transpired and their love ones were alive, although dehydrated and exhausted.
