A Burger King TV advert which was designed to activate Google Home smart speakers and some Android phones to describe its Whopper burgers has been hijacked by members of the public. The ad triggered the devices to read out information about the burgers from online encyclopaedia Wikipedia. However, somebody edited Wikipedia to describe the Whopper as the "worst hamburger product" and another added cyanide to the list of ingredients. The BBC understands the ad was blocked.  BBC News Look out using social media big companies. There are some clever nerds out there who can out do you in a heartbeat |

What made me laugh today? Reading a report that widespread outrage has broken out on social media after a video has been posted of passengers having to be dragged onto United Airlines flights. The fall out from that will last a long time |

Dogs out for the daily walk.
Out the door, along the left hand side of the garden.
Minding our own business about to get on with the serious business of *the walk*
Running right beside us in the opposite direction a squirrel !
Fortunately for the squirrel the squirrel hating dogs barely caught a glimpse
A very odd moment
I laughed a lot

I was extremely amused to see what the editor of the CNN website wrote when he precised a headline from an article about how Mrs Trump visited a childrens hospital in Washington. The full headline ran as "Melania Trump helps open garden dedicated to first ladies at DC children's hospital" However, the shortened version ran as "Melania opens 'first lady garden' " edition.cnn.com/2017/04/28/politics/melania-trump-visit-dc-childrens-hospital/index.html |

Seen this one before but it still makes me laugh:
A pensioner drove his brand new Mercedes to 100 mph, looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a police car behind him. He floored it to 140 , then 150, ... then 155, ... Suddenly he thought, "I'm too old for this nonsense !" So he pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police car to catch up with him.
The officer walked up to him, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in ten minutes. Today is Friday and I'm taking off for the weekend with my family. If you can give me a good reason that I've never heard before, why you were speeding... I'll let you go."
The Man looked very seriously at the police man, and replied :- "Years ago, my wife ran off with a policeman, I thought you were bringing her back." !!!
The Cop left saying, " Have a good day, Sir "...

You can turn them off on your mobile though! (Or that's what they want you to think!)

Going in for a 7pm - 7am night shift. No gaffer on just me and one other man. Report to the vessel at 1905 and tell them we are ready to start. Vessels foreman looks at me like I've two heads and says "Start what,we're not moving anything tonight". Class.
Back to the tea shack,tidy up then head home. Came back in for 0530,saw the boss and got knocked off for 0630.
16hrs overtime. Super.

Yes, that often makes me laugh too.
