Wise Words for Anyone: Use Tools When Working on Cars

After working for a week on his Lincoln Continental, a man in Washington decided to take matters into his firearm's hands when he couldn't loosen a fourth lug nut. I am not kidding you.

Danger: Falling Cows!

Just when I thought these things only happened in Wisconsin or in the movies (thinking here of Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail cow flinging trebuchet scene) something strange happens in real life.

Apparently a couple were driving along a highway in Washington state, and a 600 pound cow fell from the sky and crushed the front of their mini van. I kid you not. Read about it here. When you get to the article, be sure to watch the news clip, too.

Can you imagine? I wonder how that poor couple will explain it all to the insurance adjuster. Do you think they're covered?


The good news is that the couple are safe and sound, and the cow fell off a cliff rather than being shot out of a trebuchet. That being said, believe it or not, there's a Bovine Catapult Toy Set available. Who knew? TrollandToad.com
