FLYING high.
A Russian man, paralysed after a
mountain climbing fall, has built
his own outdoor lift, after waiting
in vain for his local council to
install one as promised.
According to reports, the
disabled man bought his fifth
floor flat six years ago, with a
council promise to install a lift.
Deciding he did not want to
wait for a seventh year, the man
with the help of his friends
constructed a winch which lifts
him up the side of his building.
“I couldn’t get in or out of the
block without someone’s help; it
was like being in a prison,” the
man said of his previous
situation.
“So I decided to sort it out
myself,” he added.
BALL baffles brilliant brains.
A massive ball of ice has members of the scientific community divided as to its origin. Found by a group of mushroom pickers in the middle of a forest in the Czech Republic, the large ball of ice was surrounded by a pool of mud, which it presumably created by melting. According to reports, there were no footprints around the ice, and no signs of how it came to rest in the middle of a forest. Some are heralding the discovery as the world’s largest hailstone, whilst other scientists have argued that it must be man-made because it is nearly impossible that it fell through the sky to the ground without breaking up. “It would have weighed tonnes - how it was moved here without a lorry is a mystery,” one local farmer told media. Despite scientific skepticism the huge frigid ball is now attracting vast amounts of interest from across the globe by UFO spotters and alien enthusiasts.
