What could be worst than an expensive car catching fire and help is too far away? Well, this driver is going to have hell load of shit after getting help from some kind soul... Would you prefer your car to be burnt or covered with feces? A Russian man got both when his fancy vehicle caught fire, and first to the rescue was the driver of a poop truck. Carrying a working fire extinguisher in your car is highly advisable – and, in fact, mandatory, in many countries – as it can save lives and/or your road vehicle from going up in flames. An unlucky driver in the Russian city of Samara learned that the hard way, when the front of his BMW X6 began rapidly smoking on the road, while he apparently had nothing to put it out with. Either that or he simply didn’t have time to react. Not to worry, as the help was close by. An entire truckload of liquid, just maybe not of the sort he was hoping for. Footage of this literally crappy situation emerged on social media at the weekend. The video shows the driver running around his burning car, while an operator of the vacuum truck carrying human waste generously douses it with brown goo. While the viewers probably felt for the driver’s plight, they might want to be thankful videos still do not transfer smells in 2019. Many commenters weren’t that kind, though, making not-so-publishable jokes and even chastising the man for driving around in a luxury car in Samara. No one was injured in the incident, local media said, but whether the BMW was deemed salvageable after the unorthodox firefighting effort remains a mystery.

Bag of bodily waste left at back door of PAP's Yew Tee branch office A bag of bodily waste was left at the back door of a People's Action Party branch office in Yew Tee on Monday, days after Chua Chu Kang GRC MP Alex Yam issued a stern warning to loan sharks and runners active in the constituency. The office is located at Block 608 Chua Chu Kang Street 62. In a Facebook post on Thursday evening, Mr Yam said: "Whether it was a coincidence, an act of mischief or otherwise, we will not stop in our efforts to keep our town safe for all residents." He also shared that he had met with officers from Choa Chu Kang Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC) who told him that one suspect has been arrested recently for loan shark activities. He added that the installation of police closed-circuit TV (CCTV) cameras has "progressively" been rolled out to various clusters of blocks. They comprise Blocks 527 to 533, 540 to 552A and 687 to 692A.

Japan's best-known toilet maker on Wednesday unveiled a "poop-powered" motorcycle that can travel as far as 300km on a tank filled with animal waste. Billed as the world's first waste-powered vehicle, the three-wheeler has a toilet in place of a regular seat and huge paper roll at the back. But as a young female model climbed aboard for a test drive Wednesday, toilet giant TOTO was quick to point out that she would not supply the "gas". "The biogas it uses as fuel is not made from human waste. It's made from livestock waste and sewage," Kenji Fujita, a company spokesman, told reporters in a Tokyo suburb.

All car owners reckon that one of the worst things that could happen when they park their cars in an open-air car park is to find bird droppings on their car. If these droppings are not cleaned immediately, they could damage the car's body paint and it could be rather expensive for the owners to repair the damaged paint work. A new research has revealed that the colour of your car could attract more of these birds to relief themselves on your car. Yeah, I know it sounds a little ludicrous but it is just a study that records the frequency of bird droppings based on the colour of the car. Let us see what this study has revealed. United Kingdom online retailer, Halfords, has conducted a research on the above mentioned subject. The sample included 1,140 cars in Brighton, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Bristol, although there's no indication as to the total number of each car colour in the group. Bright red cars attract more bird droppings than vehicles of any other colour; green cars were found to suffer the least, followed by silver, while white vehicles escaped more often than black. During the study, drivers were also asked how quickly they removed droppings from their cars. Only 17 per cent, one in six, said they wiped off deposits immediately when they saw them, 20 per cent said they took action "within a couple of days" while 55 per cent waited until the next car wash. The remaining 8 per cent never washed their cars or left it to others to organise. As well as being unsightly, insurance industry figures show bird droppings on vehicles can be an expensive problem and estimate the damage caused by bird-poop-stained paintwork costs motorists

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/viewPost5527.aspx Looks like the bird poop problem in this place quite bad. The place where I park also got this problem... though not as many droppings.. the droppings are HUGE (i really mean HUGE) and disgusting with grey/brown/green matter in it. Seems like from some huge bird. Every morning when I go towards my car I'll be praying hard that my car was not bombarded. What to do... why birds like to lau sai??
