A naked man,in Mooroopna – a town 181km north of Melbourne, Australia, as a prank got into a washing Machine , got stuck in it and it took 20 minutes to release him from the top-loading device.
The rescuers had to use Olive Oil to dislodge him from the machine.
How to name this?
The ghastly accident?
Or waiting for mate?
Story from Courier Mail, Australia.
The footage, from Channel 7’s Highway Patrol, has amassed more than 250,000 YouTube views and it’s own Facebook page with more than 45,000 likes after it was uploaded in recent days.
The video shows Senior Constable Ash Bowden responding to reports of a car doing burnouts in Carrum Downs, 34km southeast of Melbourne’s CBD.

What seems like a routine hunt for hoon drivers takes a turn for the bizarre, when he finds a car crashed on a curb and the driver, named in the video as Clinton, sitting inside.
When asked what happened, Clinton nonchalantly explains: “I’m just waiting for a mate.”
Seemingly unaware of the extensive damage to his car, Clinton continues the charade and repeats the “waiting for a mate” line four times over the next few minutes.
The exchange starts:
Sen-Constable Bowden: How did you get down here?
Clinton: Does it matter?
Sen-Constable Bowden: Yeah, it kind of does mate, because you’ve just been involved in an accident.
Clinton: No I haven’t.
Sen-Constable Bowden: Yes you have.
Clinton: Have I?
Sen-Constable Bowden: Yeah.
Clinton: What kind of accident?
Sen-Constable Bowden: One with a curb mate. Your whole car’s smashed up.
Sen-Constable Bowden shows the patience of a kindergarten teacher when saying he wants to conduct a breath test, with this exchange:
Clinton: I’ll do this for you.
Sen-Constable Bowden: Yep, that’d be great.

I received forward from my brother’s son about a site which gives you information on Distances between cities, Transport,Road,Bus,Train, Air-Hotels ..!.
And this is not Google Maps.
Very easy to navigate.
This information may not be new to the tech savvy but might be useful for ignoramus like me.
Here is the Link.
Rome2rio, based in Melbourne, Australia, is organising the world’s transport information. The company offers a multi-modal, door-to-door travel search engine that returns itineraries which may include air, train, coach, ferry, mass transit and driving options to and from any location.
Users of Rome2rio don’t need to search multiple websites to research and compare their travel options. Rome2rio provides answers to questions like “Do I have to fly, or can I go by train or car?”; “I’m going to Martha’s Vineyard: how do I get there from London?”; “I’m visiting six cities and towns across Europe: show me the best itinerary including air, rail and driving options”.
Rome2rio’s platform utilises a vast, purpose built, worldwide repository of air, rail, coach, ferry and mass transit routes. The platform is available for integration into web and mobile applications via API and White Label solutions.
The platform is capable of long-distance (inter-city) trip planning as well as local (intra-city) journey planning.”
I have tried from Bangalore to Chennai.
It works.

Ex Priest,David Rapson was a former teacher and vice-principal at the Salesian College Rupertswood in Sunbury, north of Melbourne, who, it is alleged to have abused seven boys.
In a Statement to The court he has blamed it on God , saying that”God made us this way”
Read the whole testimony transcript.
What a shocker!
Story:
In a statement tendered in court at a committal hearing, an alleged victim said he had spent the night in the infirmary in the late 1970s when several boys were brought in.
“I remember thinking how strange it was that everyone got sick at the same time,” he said.
The court heard Rapson then gave the boys a hot drink, forcing it on them if they refused.
“I remember the Milo tasted really strong and acrid,” the alleged victim testified.
“I remember waking up and feeling groggy.”
The court heard Rapson then went around the room and sexually abused the boys in their beds.
The alleged victim said at one point that another priest, Father Frank Klepp, entered the room.
The alleged victim told the court he heard Father Klepp ask “what are you doing?”.
Rapson allegedly replied: “You know what we do here.”
Rapson blamed God when he was told to resist the temptation.
“God made us this way and it’s his fault,” he said.
“You’re one to talk, you’re the same as me.”
Rapson is facing 11 charges of abuse, including one count of rape.
The offences are said to have taken place between 1973 and 1990.”
