It's not all doom and gloom

Sometimes the news is so bad it makes you want to cry. Today was different: In Japan, a man who apparently was already married, tried to burn down the hotel where he was getting married the day after to someone completely different. Late night nerves or a guilty conscience? Or silly fucker.

And in France, a man was led away from a TGV train with his arm still attached to a powerful suction toilet. Although my first reaction was to shout "Pervert!" he'd apparently dropped his mobile phone down there and was trying to retrieve it when the toilet took offence and tried to suck him in. Terrifying - and embarrassing. Imagine being known for that the rest of your days....
