THE SMELL OF FAILUREThe Colorado State Lottery has introduced a new feature for its scratch-off game: The ticket is printed with a “scratch and sniff” odor. The first smell will be coffee and will be followed in subsequent games with flowers and chocolate. (Loveland Reporter-Herald) Good idea: That will cover up the scent of the players’ burning money.Source: www.thisistrue.comENGLAND FANS STRANDED ON ONE-WAY STREETTwo English football fans in Cologne lost their car after mistakenly thinking they had parked it on a road called ‘One Way Street’. The pair wrote down ‘Einbahn Strasse’ – which means one-way street in German – so they didn’t forget where they’d left the rental car.But when they came to find it again they found that every second street in the inner city was called ‘Einbahn Strasse’.It was only when they found a policeman that they were told the sign was to inform drivers that they were on a one-way street.They finally managed to find their vehicle hours later with the help of the German police.Source: www.ananova.com
