While trying to put out a fire near Port Macquarie last week, Rural Fire Service volunteers were soaked with untreated sewage when a fire-fighting helicopter mistakenly scooped water from a raw sewage pond to water-bomb the nearby blaze.

Said one volunteer to another, "Man, I didn't sign up for this shit."

A 20-year-old man in Melbourne attempted to rob a McDonalds store at gunpoint, but was foiled by staff and customers, who tackled him to the ground and held him there until police could arrive.

 

When the police arrived on scene, they were surprised  to find Grimace sitting on top of the Hamburglar.

Google has been ordered to pay a Melbourne man $200,000 dollars, after the Victorian Supreme Court found the internet search engine had wrongly linked him to Melbourne's underworld, for when you typed in Mr Michael Trkulja's name, the search results showed pictures that linked him to gangland boss Tony Mokbel.

 

Hey, when you type in my name, Glenn Lim, you get results about a man who came close to a life sentence for importing drugs in his youth. Needless to say that is not me, and yet, you don't see me getting anything for a case of mistaken identity. I'm just saying, is all.
