A farm in North Yorkshire, England caught on fire Saturday afternoon.\u00a0 Firefighters were able to put out the fire after it spread about 800 square feet, and then figured out the very odd way it started.<\/p>\n
Apparently, the farmer had recently put a pedometer on one of his pigs to prove it was free range.\u00a0 And another pig ATE the pedometer off that pig.<\/p>\n
Then that pig POOPED it out in some hay.<\/p>\n
Well, the copper from the battery reacted with the poop and the dry hay.\u00a0 And it caught on fire.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, no people or animals were hurt in the fire.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have a problem or issue at work, who do you go to?\u00a0 Apparently, the top answer is . . . nobody. According to a new survey, 54% of people say they feel like they don’t have ANYONE to turn to when they have an issue at work. And that’s mainly because 60% say they’re too intimidated to take problems to their boss . . . and 65% won’t go to HR because they believe it’s there to protect the company, not the employees.<\/p>\n The survey also found 17% of people have had something serious go down at work but didn’t file a complaint because they were afraid, they could get fired.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BOMBSHELL<\/strong><\/p>\n A group of women decide to take on Fox News head Roger Ailes and the toxic atmosphere he presided over the network.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CHARLIE\u2019S ANGELS<\/strong><\/p>\n Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska are working for the mysterious Charles Townsend,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n UNCUT GEMS<\/strong><\/p>\n Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler), a charismatic New York City jeweler, is always on the lookout for the next big score.<\/p>\n ___________________________________________________________<\/p>\n If you’ve dreamed of being in the studio audience for a taping of\u00a0“Jeopardy”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0“Wheel of Fortune”<\/strong><\/em>, you’ll have to wait until the coronavirus scare dies down.<\/p>\n Variety”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>reports that both shows won’t tape in front of a live studio audience because of the outbreak.
