DISPENSARY CORNER 29 Sep 15
September 29, 2015
KIWI “daylight savings activist”
has come up with a bright idea
which could revolutionise the
annual putting forward of our
clocks which is set to commence
in some parts of Australia this
coming weekend.
Auckland-based Gabriel
Kearns is very much in favour
of daylight savings, but says the
current system, where the time
is adjusted in the middle of the
night on Saturday, is silly.
New Zealand moved to daylight
savings time last weekend, with
Kearns saying “we lose an hour
this weekend at three o’clock on
Sunday morning, and who’s going
to notice that?
“The people that are out in
clubs absolutely hammered? No,
they’re not going to notice it.”
Instead he suggested -
unsuccessfully - that the time
be changed at 4pm on a Fri
afternoon - so “that becomes 5
o’lock and we all get to go home
an hour early”.
THIS motorist could have died in
a freak gasoline-fight accident.
A man with a severe case of
arachnophobia caused a fire at
a petrol station in the US city of
Detroit, after he attempted to set
a spider alight.
The creature was apparently
crawling near his fuel door while
he was filling up, and rather
than brushing it off the car he
whipped out his lighter to burn it -
immediately igniting the pump.
According to a surveillance video
the man can be heard asking “is
that a spider,” with flames then
seen erupting along the car’s side
and into the pump.
A clerk shut off the system
immediately and called the fire
department, with the man luckily
escaping injury, although the
pump was destroyed - and the
fate of the spider is unknown.
