'Berko' rooster pierces girl's throat

A four-year-old girl has been airlifted to hospital after a savage rooster attack left her with a collapsed lung.
"She had been pecked quite savagely on the face, the neck and it appears it did pierce her windpipe," said NRMA CareFlight helicopter spokesman, Ian Badham.
Grace Angel, who lives on a farm near Mudgee, was airlifted to Orange Base Hospital last night before being flown on to Westmead Children's Hospital in Sydney.
Her uncle, Ben Angel, told smh.com.au that Grace and her two sisters were "feeding the chooks" when the rooster went "berko".
"It's gone off its tits. I don't know what it was doing. You hear of cranky roosters but I've never heard of one actually attacking anyone like that," Mr Angel said.
"It's just a dumb bloody white rooster. I didn't think roosters were that violent actually."
He said Grace's father would have wasted little time in destroying the rooster.
"I don't think the rooster's alive. Knowing my brother, he would've smashed it."
"berko" and "off its tits" in the one article!! Thats Gold!
I love Oztraya!

Please Tell Us When you Intend To Die
The seventh case of the decomposed body of an elderly person found at home is just "the tip of the iceberg", a Sydney academic, Keith Watmough says. Watmough appealed to the public especially the elderly to "inform neighbours of your plans for the following weeks so they know what that smell is when they haven't seen you around."
He continued, "If you feel likely to die, do the right thing and inform a neighbour or relative who can feed your pets, collect your mail and call the cops."
Watmough identified many elderly as selfish and asked them to "please consider the poor saps who have to peel your decomposing body of the Smokey Dawson recliner."

'Back to the Future' is one of my favourite movies ever. But have you ever wondered why Marty, a 17 year old kid, likes to hang around an old guy like Doc Brown?
Well the good people at ChocolateCakeCity.Com think they know with their movie, 'BrokeBack to the Future'.

I now have a new phobia.
The Korea Consumer Protection Board has conducted a survey which has found that shopping cart handles are number one on a list of bacteria-infested items! Typically, they contain an average of 1100 colony forming units (CFU) of bacteria per 10 sq cm.
And now brought to you by Captain Obvious: A board spokeswoman said that the best way to stop the spread of infectious diseases by hand contact was to wash your hands with soap.
Quoting statistics, the spokeswoman said that while more than 77 per cent of people were aware of the importance of washing hands, only 47.9 per cent actually bothered to wash them.
I have always attempted to avoid touching public bathroom doors with my hands by kicking them open or using an elbow but now I have a new list of public items not to touch!
Among the list I already have is public bathroom taps! It is ok if they have the 'leaver' style tap where you can use the back of your hand to turn it on and off but if it is the more traditional tap where you have to turn it on and off then forget about it, I'm not touching it! Consider this, when someone has used the toilet, they then have dirty hands. They then touch the tap with dirty hands, contaminating the tap. Then after the washing their hands they then touch the dirty tap again to turn it off and hence are still contaminated.
So when I am in a public bathroom and they only have that style of tap I dont wash! Thats right you heard me. Before you get upset with me, let me explain. I wash. I wash regularly! I wash carefuly. I especially wash my naughty bits carefuly! Therefore I am willing to bet that my naughty bits are extremely clean. Therefore after I take a leak, (assuming I have been able to not urinate all over my hands, which yes, I am able to avoid that) my hands are still extremely clean as they have only touched my old fella which is also extremely clean! Therefore, I do not choose to touch a tap which is infested to wash my already extremely clean hands.
I should point out, before you call the cops and notify the government, I only do this is manky disgusting public toilets (are public toilets of any other kind?). At home, at friends, at work, I still wash my hands. So relax.
The Dirty Half Dozen:
1. Shopping cart handles - 1100 CFU per 10 sq cm
2. Internet café computer mouse - 690
3. Bus hand straps - 380
4. Public toilet handles and door knobs - 340.
5. Lift buttons at 130
6. Train hand straps - 86
