Lightning damages Singapore's Merlion statue

SINGAPORE, Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Lightning flashes on Saturday afternoon damaged Singapore's Merlion statue, the country's long-standing original icon.

According to local radio reports, the incident, which occurred between 04:00 and 05:00 p.m. local time on Saturday afternoon, caused quite a commotion.

Something like an explosion sound very loud, then after that some of the pieces fell off the Merlion, but no one was hurt in the incident, one witness was quoted as saying.

The explosion, caused by the lightning, created a hole, the size of a soccer ball, on the Merlion, one of five Merlions in the country.

The 8.6-meter-tall statue was originally located at the mouth of the Singapore River, but was moved to the Merlion Park in downtown in 2002.

And you thought taking 1 day leave is harmless

So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for. There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away fron work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be darned if you are going to take that day off!
