Spotted this and had a wee chuckle:

'Punters usually go to brothels looking for hot sex, but not quite like this - a nude man was forced to escape onto the window ledge of a transsexual brothel in Switzerland when it caught fire. The Swiss daily Blick reported that the naked man was forced onto the window ledge after a fire started in an Basel apartment used for transsexual prostitution. Firefighters rushed to the scene and put out the flames, but not before the man was photographed in all his glory clinging to the side of the modern building.

'Not only was he in full view of the watching public, but Blick printed the photograph on Tuesday and quoted Markus Melzl from the Basel prosecutor's office as saying the apartment was used for the sex business. The 33-year-old man was hospitalized after the fire Monday afternoon, according to the paper. It said he was released that evening with light burns. It's not clear if he was a customer or an employee at the brothel, or if he was just a complete coincidence that he happened to be naked in the vicinity of a brothel when it went up in flames' - Metro.

I like the postulation that he may have been a random naked chappy in the area just as it caught fire

Some things are just too much of a coincidence...

Transformers - more than meets the eye!
