Dead woman watched TV for 42 years

A woman in Croatia died in 1966 while watching television in her apartment, and was just now discovered.

Hedviga Golik made herself a cup of tea and sat down to watch some television in her hometown of Zagreb, Croatia. Sadly, she died in her chair. This was in 1966. She was just found, 42 years later, in her time capsule mausoleum where she's been sitting ever since. She never finished her tea.

What's absurd is that she was in fact reported missing, but somehow no one ever checked her apartment, which leads me to believe no one checked anywhere. I mean, where else do you look for someone when they're missing? I don't understand it. Her neighbors apparently just assumed she moved out of her apartment, and she was finally found when the police broke in to figure out who owned the place.

A police spokesman said: "When officers went there, they said it was like stepping into a place frozen in time. The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in and the house was full of things no one had seen for decades. Nothing had been disturbed for decades, even though there were more than a few cobwebs in there."

Worlds first looping water-slide

I love water-slides, I've been in water parks all over europe and I've never been beaten by a scary one - except in Corfu when I went up, decided "no way", then decided "oh go on then" and then went down it about a dozen times.

But I'm going off on one again (back to the article).

I just found this video of a freaky deaky german looping waterslide - not only does it loop but to start off on it you have to be dropped through a trapdoor too. BRILLIANT!

Ultimate Egg Sandwich

Ok after my first serious rant, I want to mention something which happened to me the other day, isn't advertising getting totally out of hand?

 While browsing in the local supermarket the other lunch time, my friend and I spotted that they had "Egg Mayo" & "Ultimate Egg Mayo". 

"What do you think makes it Ultimate?" I asked?

"Maybe it's made with special eggs", he replied.

"Maybe they are eggs from a dog", says I...

And there we left it. 

I would love to know what makes it so much better but I don't want to spend the considerably extra money to find out.  Disappointment is a terrible thing.
