Onlookers were left aghast after a motorbike got entangled in a power transmission high-tension cable at a height of 80 feet.

 

However, the reality was that it was no stunt act. Bewildered passersby just couldn’t stop asking: How that happened?

 

The incident happened at Batuali in Ambikapur district, north Chhattisgarh, 320km from Raipur.

Airlifting of high-tension cable wire for a power transmission tower was being carried out near a bypass road.

 

One end of the heavy wire was tied to a tractor at a distance of 600 metres. The cables are so heavy that a tractor uses force for lifting, hauling or towing to a considerable height over the ground on a power transmission tower.

Websites are already able to serve up ads customized for whoever happens to be viewing a page. Now an ad agency in Russia is taking that idea one step further with an outdoor billboard that’s able to automatically hide when it spots the police coming.

Some typo there, and the new candidate is listed in all the poll links and pdfs linked.

 

"The new PPP poll revealed independent candidate Deez Nuts is polling at 9 percent in the Tar Heel state. Running as an independent from Wallingford, Iowa; population 197, Deez Nuts has gone viral and has a large fan base."

Almost None of the Women in the Ashley Madison Database Ever Used the Site

 

When hacker group Impact Team released the Ashley Madison data, they asserted that “thousands” of the women’s profiles were fake. Later, this number got blown up in news stories that asserted “90-95%” of them were fake, though nobody put forth any evidence for such an enormous number. So I downloaded the data and analyzed it to find out how many actual women were using Ashley Madison, and who they were.

What I discovered was that the world of Ashley Madison was a far more dystopian place than anyone had realized. This isn’t a debauched wonderland of men cheating on their wives. It isn’t even a sadscape of 31 million men competing to attract those 5.5 million women in the database. Instead, it’s like a science fictional future where every woman on Earth is dead, and some Dilbert-like engineer has replaced them with badly-designed robots.

Just how the heck do you lose a train?

 

The Canadian Rail industry has had a difficult few years and it doesn't look like things are getting any easier: Three days ago, National Canadian Rail announced that a train leaving Thunder Bay for Winnipeg completely vanished without a trace.

Edit, seems to be a satire:

US town rejects solar panels amid fears they 'suck up all the energy from the sun'

 

A US town has rejected a proposal for a solar farm following public concerns. Members of the public in Woodland, North Carolina, expressed their fear and mistrust at the proposal to allow Strata Solar Company to build a solar farm off Highway 258.

During the Woodland Town Council meeting, one local man, Bobby Mann, said solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not go to Woodland, the Roanoke-Chowan News Herald reported.

Jane Mann, a retired science teacher, said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing, stopping them from growing.
