POPSParis Pissed Off: Waging War on Public Urination Continued: A municipal adviser added: "Those who get caught once don't come back." A prototype is being tried out in the Cour des Petites-Ecuries in the 10th arrondissement — the quarter with the highest number of offenders. The chic second arrondissement is second worst. Cleanest of all is the seventh arrondissment, one of the most expensive in Paris and home to the Eiffel Tower. Officials said that another prototype on trial was a sloping granite "parapet" around parks that sprayed urine back on to culprits and was difficult to stand on, "particularly after the third beer".

POPSHoliday Decorations Can Spell Disaster I've seen this sort of thing. It's true. What also happens is that these materials give off HIGHLY TOXIC BLACK smoke that will kill you in seconds as it fills the room. The solution to this potential disaster is easy. Always think safety first. Be VERY careful what you put up and where you put it. As a member of a fire department I will add, don't use halogen lighting anywhere, don't overload electrical outlets, DO NOT junk up your homes/businesses, and it only has to be used once, a sprinkler system will help save your life and your property. Dead is for a long time. Some disaster or accidents don't have to happen if people would just THINK. So blow out the candles and don't forget what's on the stove.....
