Two

...gems for you today.

First, from our German friends,

BERLIN - A German man threw himself out of an apartment window along with a Christmas tree during a late-night attempt to dispose of his festive decorations.
The man fell 22 feet after he lost his balance throwing the tree onto the street Saturday, police in the western city of Moenchengladbach said. The tree did not break the victim's fall.
"There's a TV advert showing people having fun throwing their old Christmas trees out the window," said police spokesman Willy Thevessen Monday. "But you're not supposed to jump with them."
The man was taken to hospital in critical condition with severe head injuries after witnesses saw him fall.



Then, from our friends down under,

CANBERRA - An Australian man who waved out of a car window at two young women was expected to lose his arm Monday after it was almost severed by another passing vehicle.
The 20-year-old was a passenger in a pick-up truck at Bunbury, in Western Australia state, when he waved at two women in a car wash.
But as he put his arm out the driver made a right hand turn and the man's limb was struck and almost torn off by an oncoming four-wheel-drive.
"His left arm was partially severed and doctors believe the limb may need to be amputated," police said.


A Severed arm



2 totally gratuitous good looking girls in a car wash,probably not unlike the ones that prompted the arm-waving mishap related above, I don't doubt.



Again, for no other reason other than we can, nice looking (I think) girls in a car-wash
