Why Tigers Find Calvin Klein's Obsession for Men Cologne So Irresistible

http://mentalfloss.com/article/560127/why-tigers-find-calvin-kleins-obsession-men-cologne-so-irresistible



Call me overly-cautious, but I'm not convinced that a zoo is the best forever home for a tiger that, on average, eats one person every other month. That might be taking interactive exhibits a step too far.

If you rig a shotgun to your back door as a booby trap, don't use that door.

Heard about it on the radio, searched and found stories. The radio said that the injury was severe enough that they had to amputate the arm. That isn't in this story. Not sure if it's true or not.

Some people are just too stupid to operate a motor vehicle.

Illinois in general and Chicagoland in particular have some of the most aggressive drivers I've ever encountered. And they are almost always driving expensive vehicles.

When I saw the pic of the plane with German markings on it, I couldn't help but think maybe a WWII vet with PTSD saw it in the air and shot it down. :D

Amazed that no one was hurt, not even the pilot. B|

Well...

Yeah. For the Germans.

Or at least that particular plane anyway.

Except it wasn't really a German plane. Just a Navy version of the T-6 painted in Luftwaffe colors.
