WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Teams of firefighters and three helicopters have extinguished a blaze started by two possums that climbed a power pole and short-circuited the 11,000 volt line.

The New Zealand Press Association said the possums were found dead at the foot of the pylon after igniting the bushfire, near Lyttelton Harbour on New Zealand's picturesque South Island.

2. Hairdressers on fire

My best friend's brother once told him that he danced like a hairdresser on fire which is actually a song by The Smiths.

3. never underestimate the stupidity of animals

we lost our power for several hours after a squirrel got into the transformer box and chewed the wires.
the power guys cried and puked while scraping exploded squirrel guts out of the box so they could repair the damage.
the neighborhood gathered in our yard to watch.
