Firefighters visited the same downtown hotel this past week after two fires broke out in the same block of guestrooms in the same hotel, within one hour of each other. The first fire was called in at about 1:30 p. m. , after lint inside a dryer in the laundry room apparently ignited. Firefighters put out that blaze and went back to the hotel at about 2:30 p. m. when a room caught fire.

Commonwealth Bank in Australia apologized Monday for advising its staff to wear flesh-colored underwear and avoid shiny stockings because they make legs look plumper. As one of the country's largest banks, it distributed its "grooming handbook" to the retail banking staff. The guide says that women should wear two rings or less on each hand and recommends that earrings should be no bigger than a small coin, reports Reuters.
