Fake news: The Onion's fake headline about Cleveland's sewer system is actually true - Cleveland 19 News Cleveland, OH

Quote:
The Onion, a website known for writing satirical and comical news stories and headlines, recently published a parody article with the headline "Cleveland Finishes Construction On New Elevated Sewer System."
Can't even count on fake news to be fake anymore.

Young men over-represented in road fatalities in Finland | Yle Uutiset | yle.fi

It's a serious situation, but seriously, is this news to anyone?

Dog poop strains Finland’s urban environments | Yle Uutiset | yle.fi

Quote:
The annual springtime thaw is exposing residual excrement left behind by poo-petrators.
This might be more of a surprise in countries that aren't covered with snow for 4-6 months of the year, but it's common knowledge in Finland.

+1 for "poo-petrators", though :sniggle:

And this was news to me:

I think the council are upholding the planning laws.

From the link... Northumberland county council’s planning overlords [said the shed] was out of keeping with his period property.


That could well be true.


From the link... they told him he would have to take it down unless he applied for retrospective planning permission.


That seems entirely fair and reasonable under the circumstances.
