Bloody hell, that little boy one is heart stopping.

Says a lot about US drinking laws.

If that lad were British, those pissy American beers would've had no affect on him and he never would've fallen.

And what a catch! Especially when you think what a four year old weighs.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. The little chap was spinning all over the place. Amazing catch.

My sister was put through a five day first aid course at work, and was almost on the look out for her first real life case.

Out shopping she saw little boy fall down an escalator, and his face being torn off at the bottom. Despite that she ran over to help, and , thank god, found a frightened, but fine, little boy, who had been wearing a hallowe'en mask, and that had been sucked in by the escalator.

My sister was so scared!

this is a myth... they seem to have actually started brewing some cracking micro-brewery-ales



mind you after the shock of finding out that their pints are just 16 floz..

you find out they also supply in 24 oz pints

Authorities in the USA were worried that gym users might become dangerously fit so it is now mandatory to install escalators to gym entrances from low level car parks ...

+1 to that - tried a great "Scottish style" ale in Arizona called "Kilt Lifter" - had to buy the tee-shirt to go with daren't wear it in Sauchiehall Street, though.
