| Consumer Tip On What Not To Buy! |
News Brief | |||
For those of you who depend on a sturdy steel shovel to clean the driveway in the winter, you're out of luck with this baby. The "Wally's Bargain Shovel" brand just doesn't cut it in the snowy climates many of us live in. It rusts within a couple of days after you use it, and you have to hide it in a closet or under the porch so your neighbors don't tease you. The steel edge, guaranteed to stay sharp for 5 years, became dull as a butter knife after only 2 uses. To add insult to injury, the handle pops off whenever the going gets rough. If you want a doorstop or a dust collector for the garage, buy a Wally's shovel. If you want quality, pay a little more and get yourself the Walmart Snow Whipper. It's a beauty. Consumer Feedback: " The darned shovel rusted clean through and I didn't even have it for a whole year." Jean Belanger "Shovel ? That's no shovel...Wally makes junk and sells it at super-high prices....the crook." Marty Shanginer -Opinions are sent in

Man Dies Bungee Jumping off moving Helicopter Ayer's Rock, NY - A 32 year old daredevil died after bungee jumping off a helicopter and spinning into oblivion. James McMullan was acting on a bet from friends who dared him to try the stunt. McMullan, an extreme bungee jumper, took the challenge seriously. It wasn't long before McMullan rented time on a chopper and took it upon himself to prove that anything could be done if you set your mind to it. He was dead wrong. He jumped from a height of 300 feet and the first bounce threw his bungee cord into the spinning rotor. The rotor spun his body around till his ankles finally gave out and launched him like a human missile. His body was found thirteen miles from the scene of the accident. His ankles were still attached to the bungee cord. The helicopter landed safely, though the pilot was shaken. McMullan was buried on the weekend in an extra long coffin due to the fact that his legs were stretched one foot longer than usual, due to the accident. |
