Wish to share two interesting news that I came across while browsing the internet. It may be laughable but it is true.
i. Bus Driver Sacked for Saving Frog [As reported in Austrian Times]
French bus driver has been told to hop it by her German bosses - after stopping her double-decker bus to rescue a frog in the road. Astonished Christina Pommerel, 46, had been working for the RBO bus company in Regensburg, Germany for 13 years before she was sacked from her 1,300 GBP-a-month job.
"One of the bus passengers complained to the management. They told me I should have squashed the frog and not stopped. When I said I couldn't do that I was fired," said Christina. "It was in the middle of the road so I slowed down and put on the hazard flashers. Then I climbed out and put the frog in a box so I could take it to the side of the road and let it free.
"Then I got back on the Number Five bus and carried on with the journey and pretty much forgot about the incident until the management said they'd had a complaint," she added.
ii. Russian Doctors Find Tree Growing in Man's Lung [As reported in Novosti]
Surgeons in Russia's Urals Region were staggered to find a 5-centimeter high spruce growing inside a man's lung, the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reported on Monday. The discovery was made while Artyom Sidorkin, 28, from the Urals city of Izhevsk, was undergoing surgery.
Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood, doctors suspected cancer. "I blinked three times and thought I was seeing things," Izhevsk surgeon Vladimir Kamashev told the paper. Medical staff believe Sidorkin had somehow inhaled a seed, which later sprouted inside his lung. The spruce, which was touching the man's capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.
"It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me," Sidorkin said
