Very strange story. They tell that this very tree fell over eight
years ago, knoking holes into the houses roof, and now it falls down
onto someone trying to fell it? Someone put it up again after it fell
over for the first time? Not very credible.

I thought the same thing when I first read the story. But given that a
journalist wrote it (and we all know that they're not very bright)
perhaps just a limb broke of earlier. I usually take what I read in News
papers and hear reported on TV with a pinch of salt. As for the ability
of journalists, as case in point was ...


I swear this is true. Years back when the Shuttle first launched it's
then new Canadian Arm an Info Babe from CNN or one of the big three
was there to cover the flight by doing an interview of an engineer.
It was immediately obvious that she had not a clue and her fellow
reporters had told her a good question to ask was, "There is some fear
the Shuttle won't be able to achieve orbit because the arm is to
heavy, is that true?"

The guy stiffled a laugh, barely.
LOL
Love it
