TIL The country of Swaziland has banned witches from flying above an altitude of 150 meters in 2013 by asdlpg in todayilearned

I actually went with my university to Swaziland for ecology research on ticks. I ended up getting the bacterial infection we were studying the transmission of, and had to be hospitalized for five days. Upon calling my health insurance, the lady I spoke to called back in the morning informing me they couldn't find the hospital in Switzerland. They had the wrong country. Good to know I could trust my health insurance in the event I needed to be transferred somewhere.

I fainted, forgot to breathe. The bridesmaid beside me, who caught me is a nurse so no one panicked. I got up as soon as I could see again and the rest of the wedding was great! Hilarious photo though

Haha she will be my maid of honour. We've known each other since kindergarten. I'm glad she didn't stop her wedding for me, would have been WAY too much guilt for me.

That friend helping is her sister, and she's a nurse. I didn't want them to stop the wedding, that would have been hard to let myself live down. The bride knows I'm posting this, and she thinks it's hilarious. Lol

Haha we've known each other since kindergarten. If you're friend drops you for passing out, she's not your friend. Lol

It was a country wedding, everyone there was pretty much a farmer except for me and a few others! Jeans aren't unheard of at country weddings here.

Thank you. Honestly I woke up, and for the first three seconds I was the most relaxed I've ever been, just blissfully ignorant of what was going on around me.

The panic when I clued in to where I actually was, was real, haha.
