Hot Dog Mailed Between Sisters for 54 Years

0671205835_hotdogtable.gifFlora Zimbelman says it all started 54 years ago when she put an uncooked hot dog in her sister’s suitcase.

“I don’t know what made me do it. The devil I guess,” she said.

Flora’s sister, Rose, found the hot dog when she opened the suitcase back up in Idaho, where she lived at the time.

“She mailed it back to me telling me to keep my garbage at home,” said Flora.

The game was on.

In the years that followed, Flora would find a way to sneak the hot dog back into Rose’s life. And Rose would find another way to sneak it back to Flora.

“I found it under my pillow once, I found it in between the drapes and once I found it in the kitchen drawer,” said Flora.

Flora still has that hot dog. It looks just about as disgusting as you might expect.

Yet, earlier this year, Flora’s sister, best friend, and victim of her continuous pranks, lost her battle with cancer.

Flora says she misses her friend, and even though it’s difficult to look at, she’ll still show you the hot dog and tell you the story behind it.

Bat-Style Tube Train Boots

1527912.jpegA shoemaker has created bat-style boots that allow travellers to hang upside down on the London Underground.

Dutch-born Eelko Moorer’s footwear can latch on to hand strap rails inside Tube trains.

Mr Moorer, from east London, got his girlfriend Alice Wolff to try the boots out.

“We had a somewhat mixed reaction from other Tube travellers,” he said. “Some people were surprised, others liked it and others were appalled.”

The 32-year-old came up with the design while pondering how to liven up “boring and similar journeys”.

He said: “I like the idea of doing something that gives a person a sense of relief and can cheer up lives.”

World’s Fastest Internet Connection

A 75 year old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books – with the world’s fastest internet connection.

Sigbritt Löthberg’s home has been supplied with a blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection, many thousands of times faster than the average residential link and the first time ever that a home user has experienced such a high speed.

Sigbritt will now be able to enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously. Or, if there is nothing worth watching there, she will be able to download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.

But Sigbritt, who had never had a computer until now, is no ordinary 75 year old. She is the mother of Swedish internet legend Peter Löthberg who, along with Karlstad Stadsnät, the local council’s network arm, has arranged the connection.
