Megan took this photo in the street in Karvina, Moravia, Czech Republic. "Just wondering if Auckland City are doing rubbish collections there as well as here." Can anyone in the know explain?
When the weather bites
Back in 1969, a group of "anti-population" protesters staged a "hunger show" near San Francisco. The plan was to inflate a giant plastic pillow, inside of which 300 of them would spend a week without food, only water. They would have to watch "slides of pork chops and peas and carrots" and listen to taped sounds of restaurant noises. Also, sandwiches would be taped to the exterior of the plastic pillow, and non-participants outside would stage a pie-eating contest. The hunger show lasted half a week. Then it started to rain so they gave it up, saying, "We came here to suffer from hunger, not exposure." (Source; Weird Universe)
Peeping Jocks
Glasgow's Shimmy Club installed a two-way mirror in the women's bathroom and charged male club patrons to peep in from a private booth. The club released a statement on Facebook calling the mirror "a bit of fun", "a talking point", and "a unique idea", and pointed out that signs in the bathroom warn patrons about the mirror. But one commenter claimed those signs are "barely noticeable". (Source: Newser.com)
