Gliding cats

Have you heard about how cats always land on their feet? Well now you know.
So you would of course say that they can survive a fall 5 meters. Correct. But if they fell from 500 meters, they will certainly die. That's what you would assume in your non-bath salt mind, right? Well... they will survive a large fall because they have enough time to react and reach their legs out to form a sort of glide. Sure they might receive minor injuries, but not die. 
However, if they fell from about the top of a 6 story building, they don't glide and will probably die. You see, from a small height they flip to their legs rather than gliding. From a medium height they will still flip, but the flip won't sustain the fall damage.

Subway (not what you think)

A teen from New York licks an ENTIRE SUBWAY STATION RAIL FOR ONE DOLLAR!!!! He this on a simple dare, and if he did it, he would get $1. Charles P. Gerba says that if you would lick anything in public, you should lick a toilet seat, which cleaner than a bus handrail.

Fowlty Towers??

Did you used to watch Fawlty Towers? The hotel doesn't actually exist, but, the closest thing to it is... FOWLTY TOWERS. And now, just from the title is FOWLTY, I haven't misspelled it.
It is a luxury ***** -star hotel for chickens. 
Julia Smith was always passionate about poultry, so she wanted to open a hotel for chickens.She has 13 chickens now, but the hotel is mainly for customer chickens.

The creator of the bling phone, Stuart Hughes took 100 iPhone 5's and put gold one them. Each phone are 64GB; white or black and take weeks to hand-make each phone.
