With missiles and kamikaze drones raining down across the Middle East and ayatollahs exploding faster than Iran’s battleships, the sound of big boom-booms on their own doorsteps will no doubt have Americans feeling as nervous as anyone with the surname ‘Khameini’. The residents of Logan Township, New Jersey, can rest slightly easier, though the local stoners might be inclined to despair.
That massive explosion they heard? Just the local weed oil factory going kablooey.
A MASSIVE explosion rocked a New Jersey town Wednesday afternoon, sending at least four people to the hospital.
Locals have been told to shelter in place until further notice as smoke continues to fill the area […]
The explosion took place at Savita Naturals, located at 617 Heron Drive, CBS reported.
The family owned specialty oil extraction company focused on cannabis is listed as “temporarily closed” on Google.
Savita Naturals said on its website that it uses propane solvent extraction methods to extract oil, which is highly flammable and combustible.
But were they organic solvents?
Still, all jokes aside, as explosions will, people got hurt.
At least four individuals have been taken to local hospitals.
A Cooper University Hospital spokesperson confirmed to CBS News that they received three patients, including two trauma patients. Another patient was sent to a hospital in Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, across the pond, British commuters were faced with an offal situation. Literally.
A lorry shed its load of offal on to the M6 in Staffordshire, leaving drivers facing delays of up to two hours […]
The lane closures were in place for almost 11 hours while specialist crews were called in by National Highways to clean up the offal.
The specialist crews in question were a team of highly qualified black pudding makers from nearby Owd Grandad Piggot’s Best Puddin’s factory. In good news for black pudding fanciers, they reported that the combination of road dirt, diesel sludge and festering in the open for 11 hours had rendered the stinking mess ’ay up smashin’ for black pudding making.
In other news from Ol’ Blighty, the country is experiencing a mysterious infestation of discarded dental floss picks. Experts are puzzled as to where they’re coming from, because they certainly aren’t being used for dental hygiene.
Over the past few months no matter where life has taken me – in London, at home with my parents in Kent, visiting friends up North, or at the South Terminal at Gatwick – I see floss picks on the floor.
And every time I spot one of those Y-shaped sticks on the pavement, or poking its head out from underneath a leaf, I think to myself: ‘Why is this here?’ […] could this new trend of discarded floss sticks just mean us Brits have levelled up our teeth brushing routines?
Leaving aside the question of just who the hell flosses their teeth while they’re walking down the street, the idea seems about as likely as Brits increasing their soap consumption.
Despite knowledge of oral health increasing, there isn’t a wealth of evidence to suggest we’re actually actioning this by flossing more as a nation.
For example, a government adult oral health survey in 2021 found that only 30 per cent of participants used dental floss to clean their teeth and mouth.
Meanwhile, a global survey put the Brits right at the top of the ladder on the statement, “I always forget to floss.” They shared first place with those other notable proponents of personal hygiene – the French and the Irish.
