Pesky wasp triggers marmalade mishap
Greven, Germany
17 August 2004 15:43
A pesky wasp triggered an accident on a German superhighway when a
driver lost control of his lorry and spilled 15 tons of marmalade jars
on the road, police reported on Tuesday.

In the accident on the A1 autobahn near Greven in north-western Germany
late on Monday, the 49-year-old driver lost control of his lorry when he
tried to shoo away a wasp that had flown into the cab.

The lorry crashed into the pillar of a bridge, while the marmalade jars
were spilled on to the highway.

The damage was estimated at €100 000. The driver was unharmed. -- Sapa-DPA

I was thinking the exact same thing as I read that. Those Germans, they're always plotting and planning something. German wasps are obviously no better;)

heh...reminded me of chicken run, where the man is telling the woman that the chickens are organised and she is telling him not to be stupid, they are chickens, then they kick arse.

It has to do with the seeds, consistancy and how it is prepared.

Uhhh my aunt and uncle live in Alaska and have a really nice garden there with lots of berries and in the summers I would help my aunt make jams and jelly.

Jam has chunks of fruit in it.
