Suburban tales: kites, miracle trees and laser shootings

And thus, the local kite-loving tykes had no choice but to retire to the couch to play Modern Warfare 2.

The Berwick Leader reports that after seeing the error of its ways, the council has decided to explore ways of lifting the kite ban in specific parks around the area.

So now the little Timmys of the area will have designated ghettos to indulge their anti-social habit. Just like smoking, really.

While my tree gently ... weeps?

The Coogee Rail Mary it ain’t, but the people of Mosman were briefly the custodians of a tree that spouted water.  Some said the tree looked like it was “crying”.  Others, no doubt, thought different.

Either way, the Mosman Daily reports that authorities decided the sudden erruption of water was caused by a burst main, and promptly plugged the leak.

Though the tree is now dry, someone somewhere is presumably setting up a webpage calling it a miracle. Either that, or adding it to their fetish site.

Laser Love

A Brisbane couple recently tied the knot, then immediately shot their guests with lasers.

The Logan West Leader reports the pair are avid laser battle players, and invited their guests to join them in a skirmish.

The bride and her bloke both wore camo colouring in their wedding get up.

The groomsmen, in sympathy, wore camo boxers. Mercifully we have no photographic evidence of this.

Do I park it here?

Staff at a driver’s license testing centre in Melbourne’s leafier parts got a bit of a shock when a learner about to take his test smashed through the front window.

The Free Press Leader reports the prospective P-Plater was about to get out of the car and start the harrowing process of proving his abililties behind the wheel.

It was then that he and his instructor had a bit of a misunderstanding as to which pedal did what.

Fiendish thingy

A civic-minded crow-eater thought the only thing to do with an unexploded bomb they’d found was to pop in to the local cop shop and ask them what to do with it.

The News Review Messenger reports Adelaide’s finest’s immediate reaction to the unexploded ordinance was to tell everyone to flee, and call in the army.
