Police: Resident plummeted into ‘abyss’ below 177-year-old New England home

(WHDH) — A resident who plummeted “into the abyss” below a New England home that dates back to 1843 was pulled from frigid well water over the weekend, officials said.

Officers responding to a home in Guilford, Connecticut, learned a resident had fallen through a section of wood flooring, tumbling about 30 feet down into a well that had been covered up by an addition in 1981, according to the Guilford Police Department.

Police say the victim was treading water for nearly 25 minutes before firefighters descended into the well and pulled them to safety.

“Miraculously, the victim only suffered minor injuries but was transferred to the hospital to be checked out,” the department wrote in a Facebook post.

Police warned that older, historical homes in New England may have hazards that were not upgraded by current code.

I see the Exam Priory and the lost world below it, still are formidable.

Boiling ramen noodles a weapon in vicious feud between B.C. high school girls
Social media snark and 'bro fights' provide backdrop for criminal confrontation in girls' washroom

In a girl's washroom in a British Columbia high school in December 2018, two students faced off.

Both clutched the cell phones which had served to escalate a war between two rival factions of teenage girls in the months leading up to this chance meeting.

But at the end of the confrontation, it was another unlikely object that a provincial court judge would declare a weapon: a boiling hot bowl of ramen noodles that one of the girls — a 14-year-old Grade 9 student named SH — hurled into the chest of the 15-year-old victim.

I'm not sure what I just read.

Lol, we need a teenage girl version of mortal kombat w/ mean tweets & ramen noodles

The most amusing part of it to me is that she claimed to have "blacked out" before throwing the noodles...but why would you bring boiling noodles into the damn washroom to begin with? When I was in high school, I'm pretty sure that the washrooms at Chernobyl would've been safer to go into.

why would you bring boiling noodles into the damn washroom to begin with?

I know it's the alien world of a) teenaged girls, b) ubiquitous Internet and c) pre-pandæmia, but I think she might have gotten herself something to eat and then felt the need to take a poop, and/or do her make-up or whatever it is that teenaged girls do that takes them so long to do in a bathrom.

In my school we weren't really allowed to eat outside of the cafeteria.

In my school we weren't really allowed to eat outside of the cafeteria.

I've seen schools that had an in-school shop. Maybe it was one of those?

I'm not surprised. I once drank an energy drink and thought I was going to have a heart attack.

In the Keriyae area of Shinjang, where goitre is endemic, a visibly slightly swollen thyroid gland in women, due to lack of iodine, is appreciated as an aspect of female beauty.

Hey, I still remember a white Lord snorting cocaine from between a black prostitute's breasts with a rolled-up £5 bill, which was a very accurate summary of the British polity.

There's a Daria episode in which Daria's father eats at a dodgy sushi place and is infected with a worm.

Now you can too! A 25-year-old woman in Tokyo ate sashimi and had a 38-mm.-long nematode growing in her throat. (pic reposted elsewhere in case you cannot access the journal page)

We have seen examples of valuable work damaged by attempt to restore it *, but has such an expensive work of art been completely destroyed before it is even recognised as valuable?

Cleaners did not know graffiti on a London Underground train was by world-renowned artist Banksy when they removed it, the BBC has been told.
The piece, If You Don't Mask, You Don't Get, was painted inside a Circle Line service carriage.
But by the time he unveiled the work on his Instagram account, it had been wiped away by Transport for London (TfL) cleaning crews.
A TfL source said: "It was treated like any other graffiti on the network."
"The job of the cleaners is to make sure the network is clean, especially given the current climate," they said.
A video posted online showed a man - presumed to be Banksy - disguised as a cleaner and armed with stencils.
It is thought the stunt, revealed on Tuesday, was designed to encourage the use of face masks.
...
You get the feeling Banksy, who has previously destroyed his art on purpose, knew exactly what would happen to his work by putting it inside a carriage.​

Thats Banksy? Its pretty ugly, I thought he was supposed to be good.

The rat must be his. Or was the stupid bubbly font his too?
