Cops think the bowler went to swing the ball — but bashed it on his limb — which set off the concealed revolver to shoot.

Giant six-foot penis drawn on butcher’s brand new £3,500 driveway

A butcher got the shock of his life when he arrived at his shop to discover a 6ft-long penis carved into his new £3,500 parking lot.

Simon Thornton, who is also a member of the Godalming council in Surrey, had been looking forward to using the new parking spaces behind his store.

But his enthusiasm was cut short after a vandal scrawled the genitalia onto the concrete.

ShonkyLabLogoPete and Elton are here this week, after a week off again…. sorry about that, to talk about Robots in Sci-Fi.

Before that there is a bit of chat and news…

1. Fake funeral service proving popular after student holds her own false ceremony   http://metro.co.uk/2013/04/12/fake-funeral-service-proving-popular-after-student-holds-her-own-false-ceremony-3613269/

Following the revelation a Chinese student staged her own funeral so she could ‘enjoy’ the day, it has emerged the fake ceremony has also proved popular with other people from the country.

When Zeng Jia held her own wake, despite the fact she was still alive, many thought it was morbid and self-obsessed but it now turns out it wasn’t an unusual occurrence……

2. Man shoots himself in the head with foot-long harpoon and survives  http://metro.co.uk/2013/04/26/man-survives-after-firing-foot-long-harpoon-into-his-own-head-3667768/

You’ve got to be pretty foolhardy to fire a 12-inch harpoon into your own eye – and pretty lucky to live to tell the tale. Bruno Coutinho, 34, managed both.

The Brazilian was cleaning the loaded firearm, which he uses to go fishing, when he accidentally set it off and fired the spear into his left eye socket….

3. Scientist who spent 16 years studying boobs of 300 women declares bras are useless

http://metro.co.uk/2013/04/13/scientist-who-spent-16-years-studying-boobs-of-300-women-declares-bras-are-useless-3614659/

 

A French scientist who spent 16 years studying hundreds of women’s breasts has come to the conclusion that bras are useless.

Jean-Denis Rouillon unveiled his surprising findings this week to a French university radio station, having carefully analysed the boobs of more than 300 women, aged 18 to 35, since 1997….

And Now……

The robots the guys talk about range from the obvious R2-D2 from Star Wars, Huey, Dewey, & Louie from Silent Running and B.O.B & V.I.N.Cent from the Black Hole to the robots from ‘The Class of 1999’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr9UjGY8X6M and the robots from ‘Runaway’. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdCQ_klbVfQ

We also touch upon http://www.sfx.co.uk/2013/01/26/top-50-sci-fi-robots/
And Star Wars in Character - http://www.neozaz.com/category/podcasts/star-wars-in-character/

ShonkyLabLogo300x300Mr Jim Moon from Hypnobobs joins Pete and Elton as they take a spoiler filled journey into the first part of the three part series from the BBC, In The Flesh.

Before that the guys talk about Hypnobobs going bi-weekly, Eltons black eye and Pete did something.

In the news….

  •  A man smuggled cocaine in a fake bottom,
  •  Newley weds steal finger food for their own wedding,
  • A bomb was found inside a squid,
  •  And a man who lost an eye to cancer makes most of situation and becomes a zombie.

Then then Pete, Jim and Elton settle down and discuss In The Flesh (with a small opinion of World War Z at the end).

There is a bit of bonus material after the credits which was planned to be used as a separate episode.  Don’t say we don’t give you anything.

Enjoy.

Double lottery winner not that bothered

http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Double_lottery_winner_not_that_bothered

Then it’s onto the main subject of the day… The Lottery.

 

Do you play? why? are you aware of the odds?  http://lottery.merseyworld.com/Info/Chances.html

Lottery mathematics is used here to mean the calculation of the probabilities in a lottery game. The lottery game used in the examples below is one in which one selects 6 numbers from 49, and hopes that as many of those 6 as possible match the 6 that are randomly selected from the same pool of 49 numbers in the “draw”.

In a typical 6/49 game, six numbers are drawn from a range of 49 and if the six numbers on a ticket match the numbers drawn, the ticket holder is a jackpot winner—this is true no matter in which order the numbers appear. The probability of this happening is 1 in 13,983,816.
