Phantom Tom

Puningham

You might not beleaf it, but the British have special leaf blaster trains. The British public were asked to name a new one. The winning name was Ctrl Alt Deleaf.

Here is a photo of the real thing, being presented by the branch manager:

Runner up names were: Pulp Friction Leaf-Fall Weapon The Autumn Avenger

These trains blow leaves and wash rails to reduce the Ctrl Alt Delays.

OGOPOGO

There were a number of sightings of this monster during the period from 1952 to 1975 around the area of Lake Okanagan in British Columbia, Canada. Each description differs from the other, with some versions describing the monster as having the appearance of a huge log with a horse's head; others describing an undulating serpent with several humps or sharp ridges along its back; while still others have claimed it as a 70-ft serpentine creature with many fins. Whenever the waters of the lake become especially disturbed, local people say that this is Ogopogo. The same local traditions suggest that the creature lives either in the lake or on the tiny Rattlesnake Island.
