THIS was probably a fairly
unhealthy environment.
A family in Sweden has been
living with 191 cats, with the
country’s social services acting to
address the case this week.
The Aftonblet newspaper says
officers who attended the home of
the 60-year-old Stockholm
woman who lived with her sister,
her son and her mother, found
cats on tables, countertops and
window ledges as well as
overflowing litter boxes.
Many of the animals were sick
or injured, with a staggering 173
having to be put down and the
remaining 18 sent to animal
shelters.
Swedish law stipulates (fairly
sensibly) that families can have a
maximum of nine cats.
STRESSED out Chinese women
now have a place to relieve their
pressures - by smashing normal
household items to smithereens.
A shopping mall in Shenyang
has opened a special store at
which female customers are given
baseball bats and asked to smash
up housewares.
A spokesman for the store told
the People’s Daily that the aim
was for “women to come here to
feel like they are in their own
homes but without any limitations”.
Items available for smashing
include second-hand TVs and
mobile phones, with clients
provided with gloves and helmets
to prevent accidental injuries.
So-called “venting time” is
limited to one minute.
ORDERING pizza certainly had a
healthy outcome for this US man.
George Lim had jplaced a
home delivery order when he
suddenly went into cardiac arrest.
The delivery man knocked on
the door of his home in Colorado
and his wife opened the door and
immediately asked for help.
Fortunately the pizza guy just
happened to be a paramedic who
had recently returned from Iraq.
He performed CPR on the
victim and revived him, with other
paramedics taking him to hospital.
