PIGS will fly dive?
If your morning bacon tastes
better this week, it might be due
to some aerial pig displays.
Pig-farmer, Huang Demin, of
the Hunan Province claims that
since his pigs have discovered
diving into water they are less
bored, happier and even “tastier”,
Orange News reported.
He has created not only a pig
meat that sells for three times the
price of normal meat, but a daily
spectacle which has attracted
hundreds of enthusiastic poolside
cheerers, as the pigs run and
jump from their purpose built
diving boards at varying heights.
CONGRATULATIONS from space.
If you had to sit through
(or indeed, delivered) a less
than inspiring pharmacy
graduation speech, prepare to
burn with jealousy at the luck
of University of Connecticut
School of Engineering students
who graduated on Saturday
- their congratulatory speech
was delivered by alumnus Rick
Mastracchio, who is stationed on
the International Space Station
and beamed the speech to the
400 graduates while floating and
spinning upside down, variously,
Reuters reported.
This was Mastraccio’s fourth
trip to space for a job which he
described as the best “on or off
the planet”, the publication said.
FIREFIGHTER, midwife - ladies.
You wouldn’t necessarily think
‘healthcare professional’ when
someone says ‘firefighter’ but
Ross McClaren would prove you
wrong - he delivered a baby at the
scene of a fire using skills he said
he learned from watching the TV
show One Born Every Minute, the
Telegraph reported.
Antoni Zimnicki was brought
into the world when a car broke
through the cordon near a fire
McClaren was called to and the
driver asked for help for his wife.
The baby is healthy, happy and a
possible future fire service fan.
