You are a suicidal character? Hopefully they don't scew things up in India
as they do in Finland:

The most amazing character in the technical construct was this connecting
pipe between the tap water and sewer systems. The pipe came with a valve.
Somebody turned it on because it was there. I guess the engineer (if there
is any) who designed the construct and those who implemented it were dead
from the neck up.


"Nokia - Connecting People" is a slogan in the past. It is replaced by a
modern one - "Nokia Connecting Pipes".

In the neighbouring town of Tampere public toilets have a sign on their
walls: "Flush the toilet and provide the people of Nokia some drinking
water".

The whole incident has been a total mess. A failure has been followed by
another failure.

1. Tap water system was not shut down
when the blunder became obvious.

2. Citizens were not informed properly
(nationwide broadcasting began hours later)
and the city of Nokia informed about the
catastrophe in it's web pages!!!!
I mean naturally people have a tendency to have
a regular peek on the pages of the public internet
sites the city maintains.

3. In the entire country there is ONE piece
of machinery by which the purification
can be done effectively (I don't know if
anyone there can read the manual though).
