Marshmallows and beer shuts motorway

Part of the M42 has reopened after a six-vehicle crash sent marshmallows and beer spilling out onto the carriageway.

The northbound stretch was closed at junction 10 near Tamworth Services in Staffordshire after six HGVs collided between junctions 12 and 13 on the A42.

Leicestershire Police said one person was hurt in the collision at about 0414 GMT, which involved some lorries that were parked in a lay-by.

The carriageway was closed for up 10 hours while the debris was removed.

The damaged lorries also had to be lifted off the road.

Police confirmed cans of beer fell onto the carriageway and one person was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The Highways Agency said the accident occurred where the motorway ends and becomes the A42.

"It is in an area where lorries cannot overtake and also falls between the control of two police regions," he said.

Diversions were put in place at junction 10 and drivers were warned to expect long delays and use alternative routes.

The patent office said I had to demonstrate the product first.  I called my friends and invited them to an R&D party this weekend, but now they're threatening to have me committed again!

I love that show... but it took me forever to figure out it was the show that the ABC series American Inventor was based on... I thought it was a show about dragons or a british comedy set in a pub.  ;D

Speaking of marshmallows a friend of mine told me yesterday that you can't put Marshmallow Fluff on an airplane because altitude makes it expand.  He sent his sister a jar and when it got to her it had burst out of the top and gotten over everything in the package.

I tried to put Marshmallow Fluff on an airplane once; got the peanut butter slathered all over the wings, but I only got half way down the fuselage with the marshmallow before airport security threatened to shoot me!
:D

If that stuff even slightly hardens it stuck to something for good.
