ZURICH (AP) — It must rank among the easiest fires ever to put out. Zurich authorities say police and firefighters were called to the house of an elderly woman early Thursday after she reported her television set was burning. When they arrived, they discovered no signs of fire or smoke.

They found instead that the TV was tuned into a German station that in the early morning hours aired the constant image of a fireplace.

"The fire was extinguished with the press of a button," police said in a statement.

If you take a look at the knives the Swiss Army uses then you know the place isn't under immediate threat.

The manliest guy they can deploy is Roger Federer, and as good at hitting a ball over a net as he is, he would be found to be wanting against a tactical nuke.

And he looks like a lesbian.
