Wan Hu – the first ever astronaut

Or at least, the first guy trying…

…He had a chair built with forty-seven rockets attached. On the day of lift-off, Wan, splendidly attired, climbed into his rocket chair and forty seven servants lit the fuses and then hastily ran for cover. There was a huge explosion. When the smoke cleared, Wan and the chair were gone. He was never seen again…

…like the part “…he was never seen again…” LOL! Read it all here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wan_Hu

Golf is dangerous – duck killing!

Inger Marie, a colleague of mine, was out playing golf here the other day when she missed with one of her strokes. The ball flew out over a nearby small lake where some ducks where swimming, and it hit a small duck right in the head. The small duck started to croak and swim in circles before it passed away…RIP
