Flying trampoline halts high-speed train
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German high-speed train was forced to make an emergency stop when a trampoline was blown on to the tracks from a nearby garden, police said on Wednesday.
The Intercity Express (ICE) was travelling from Cologne to Vienna and was forced to stop outside Bonn, Cologne police spokesman Frank Freund said in a statement. "The ICE only came to a halt 300 metres (yards) after the blockage," Freund said. The train sustained damage to its front lights but after checks was allowed to continue. Wonder why it didn't just jump tracks..(sorry) | ||||||||

Bet he wishes he had a trampoline
Offbeat News
'Old fart' blown over by wind 13 Mar, 12:42 AM A self-confessed "old fart" who was asked by his social club to go outside to break wind is in hospital - after he was blown over by a gale. Bass-drinking pensioner Maurice Fox, 77, made national headlines when the Kirkham Street Sports and Social Club in Paignton, Devon, asked him to "go outside when required". Mr Fox, from Princess Street, Paignton, was on his way to the nearby Palace Place Social Club when he was hit by a windy blast which knocked him over and caused a broken rib, bruised hip and grazes. | ||||||||
