Christmas puddings

CANON SAID support call outs increase by 25 per cent over the Christmas period because daft employees do dumb things like mooning on the office photocopier.

Canon said rather coyly that "photocopying body parts" is a popular office pastime and as well as its technicians having to repair broken glass, they also find all sorts of interesting objects inside the machines.

Those include condoms, stockings, kitchen knives and a snake. What type of snake, Canon did not reveal. Other items found include a sleeping cat, a vibrator, dominoes, a swarm of bees and a cheque for £6,000.

David Smith, Canon UK marketing director said: "People obviously let their hair down at Christmas."

Technicians from Canon said things like: "We always fit lots of new original glass to copiers after New Year due to rear end copying" and "I had to repair a machine with a photocopy of a man's groin jammed in it".

Sheesh kebab. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
