Woodland, North Carolina, rejects a solar panel farm.

Jane Mann said she is a local native and is concerned about the plants that make the community beautiful.
She is a retired Northampton science teacher and is concerned that photosynthesis, which depends upon sunlight, would not happen and would keep the plants from growing. She said she has observed areas near solar panels where the plants are brown and dead because they did not get enough sunlight.
She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her that solar panels didn’t cause cancer.

Darwin wins again.

Darwin has been busy.

It has been around in the news quite a bit: On Christmas Day three men in western Germany strapped explosives to a condom vending machine in order to help themselves to its contents. However one 29 yo member of the trio was slow to duck for cover and was fatally hit by shrapnel.

If you're going to set fire to a CCTV camera, it's probably better not to let it see your ugly mug first.

Whoops

Tory councillor accidentally sent details of 'smear plot' to intended targets

A Tory councillor tried to persuade party colleagues to join him in a smear campaign against local domestic violence services and women’s rights campaigners, a leaked email shows.

Scott Harris, a Conservative member of Portsmouth council, wrote in the email that he had been compiling information on a number of political opponents operating in the city before council elections.

He singles out Aurora New Dawn, a local domestic violence support charity, and its chief executive, Shonagh Dillon, as well as a local chapter of the feminist group Sisters Uncut, who have been critical of council plans for drastic cuts to domestic violence services.

However, they and others named by Harris received the email after it was mistakenly sent out in a chain. The message says: “The elections are coming and the politics are dirty. The tricks by the Lib Dems, the lies and the smear are disgusting.

"Quite frankly it might be a good idea to play dirty this time. I know we shouldn’t go down to their gutter politics but should we continue to stand by and allow this to go on?

“I’m also compiling some stuff on Shonagh Dillion [sic], Aurora New Dawn and Sisters Uncut. Interestingly I’ve found some stuff on [local socialist activist] Jon Woods and the SWP locally which will be useful when the loony left come calling nearer May.”

It's probably not much of an idea to destroy a wasps' nest in your garage by means of fire, especially when the garage is attached to your house.

This follows a blaze in a garage in Bletchley, which was severely damaged yesterday as a result of attempting to destroy a nest.
