I did NOT forget this journal. No. I swear I didn't. Cross my heart.

*stands piously*

You know, it's hard to look pious when it's 8am, and you're wearing harlot red lipstick. Of course, I have no idea why I'm wearing the lipstick, seeing as I have no-one to kiss, and no-where to go.

It's rather good that I have nowhere to go, seeing as I just drew a mustache on my face with eyeliner. And a goatee. Personally, I find it very attractive. Not.

Well, being 15, I'm fairly close to being an adult, and being the older sibling in my family, it's expected that I set the example. Therefore, when my bedroom door is closed, I see no reason why I shouldn't do random stuff just for the hell of it.

Enough of my ramblings, time for some news.

A teenage boy was sucked into plumbing system of a swimming pool in a Water park in Thailand. Apparently, he lost his goggles through the grate in a "whirlpool" type pool. When he lifted off the grate to get them, he was sucked under and died. Many consolations to the family.

You've heard the llama song, right? If not, voila:

There's a line in that that goes: "I was only 3 years dead, but it told a tale. And now listen, little child, to the safety rail." I'm afraid it's another case of this here. No lifting grates in swimming pools. If you drop the goggles, and they fall into the pumping system, ASK THE ATTENDANT. Seriously, no hands, no feet, nothing in the grate.

On that note, perhaps they should update those rule signs they have at swimming pools.

They mention thing like how you shouldn't dive in the shallow end, run around the pool, dunk people and so on, but not once does it say "Do not lift that tempting looking grate off the bottom of the pool."

This wouldn't be the first time people have turned their eyes to stupid signs. Road signs. I ask you, do we need a sign to tell us "this sign is not in use". Well that's wonderful for it. I don't care. Our money being spent on expensive redundant signs? I don't think so.

Redundant road signs:

Erm, no kidding: [link]
Still not buying it: [link]
What the hell?: [link]

And so on...


All that being said, where could the money be going? Many kudos if you give me suggestions in a comment.
