Two people nearly died in California wild fires because they thought they could survive the flames by sitting in a hot tub (presumably filled with water). I can imagine the conversation:

Moron A: a 100 foot high wall of flame is moving towards us.
Moron B: Water doesn't burn, so we can survive by wearing a damp towel on our heads.
Moron A: Don't be ridiculous, we'd still burn to death because the towel would eventually dry out.
Moron B: I see ... what if we also stood in a full bucket?
Moron A: No need, let's just sit in the hot tub which is like a GIANT BUCKET.
Moron B: Brilliant.

London police will be taking valuables out of unlocked cars (presumably leaving a receipt) in an effort to change public behavior and reduce crime. Wouldn't the time be better spent chasing criminals? Nah, they fight back.

In the US this would be a wee bit unconstitutional. I also look forward to reports of criminals leaving fake receipts in order to tie up even more police resources as victims queue up at police HQ.

.. but it's for a good cause, so that makes it OK.

ideas for future study "Drunks like happy hour" and "fatties like all-you-can-eat buffets."

We love to watch the polo so it is nice to hear the horses have some place to go in the Winter. [what field are they going to use at the Beach Club? is there a even a field?]
