Giant toilet roll starts factory fire ..

See you had to click on it too , I couldn't resist this story from our local newspapers site...

Before you think I'm too bad for finding this funny (as I have a healthy respect and fear of fire), it wasn't too serious and no one was hurt. I just want to see a toilet roll the size of a car.....


If you have any equally grabbing headlines and stories to share from your local paper I'm dying to hear them but that one will take some beating this week for me...

Local newspapers are great. Here is a story that caught my eye - Mayor Lands on Moon:

Not from local paper but Ananova has some good 'quirkies':

Such as:

• - DIY pet cremation backfires
  - Learner driver passes - despite crash
  - Hundreds to nibble on Jordan's boobs
  - Police ordered to catch buffaloes
  - Man ran over the wrong dentist
  - Farmer leaves body to animals
  - Two-seater bike - for one

Now how can you resist seeing the full stories on ananova.com?
