IT’S an emergency update.
Another great excuse to use
social networking at work has
arrived via Metro, which reports
that a Facebook status update
saved a geography professor’s life
when he posted on the American
Climber Science Program’s page
that he needed help after falling
down the crevasse of a Himalayan
glacier.
The publication reported that
Professor John All wrote ‘Please
call Global Rescue. John broken
arm, ribs, internal bleeding.
Himlung camp 2. Please hurry.’
Members of his team alerted
rescuers but it still took 19 hours
to get All to a hospital, Metro
reported.
DO you sell motor oil? Why not?
From the website www.
pharmacychick.com come some
of the weirdest questions a
pharmacist has been asked.
First there was the guy who
asked the pharmacist how to
barbecue corn.
Then there was the person
who asked if they sold motor oil
because they didn’t want to make
two trips.
The most worrying was the
customer who asked “How much
Sudafed should I give my dog?”
When the pharmacist replied
that since dogs didn’t get colds,
none, and to check with the
customer’s veterinarian, they
were told “Thanks for nothing!”

PILL popping puppies.
New Zealand paramedics had an
interesting emergency call when
they broke into a house to find
two bulldog puppies, one chewing
on prescription pills and the other
biting a panic button, stuff.co.nz
reported.
One of the puppies had bitten
the button 12 times while both
had eaten four different types
of medication and packaging,
but were well after being given
emetics, the publication reported.
