Got this from Howie's blog a while ago:
A Chinese woman survived a fall from a sixth-floor balcony after she landed on a large pile of excrement dug up by workers clearing a septic tank, state media said.
The unnamed woman was stretching to hang washing when she lost her balance and fell from the balcony at her home in the southern city of Nanjing yesterday, the semi-official China News Service quoted a local newspaper as saying.
The woman suffered only minor injuries after the 20cm heap cushioned her fall, the agency said.
Workers had been dredging the tank after complaints by local residents, it said.
On another note we play volleyball again tonight. Did I mention we won our grand final a few weeks ago? Can't remember if I did. Anyway, beacuse we've won the grand final the last 2 seasons we've gone up a grade. Lots of fun! But we lost our first game in the new grade last week. However, we did win a set, so that's encouraging. It's nice to be challenged. We haven't been getting much better because we're not being forced to play better. Now we are and it's great! It's a bit faster and pushes us to play better. Wish me luck for tonight!
Damn Lisa, that's true... We NEED her!!!
ZING! *draws up an invisible point for himself*
Oh, and good luck with your team.
