 - National Chai Day celebrates the strong, satisfying tea that is ordered at cafes across the country.

 - Cold Showers. Should you be taking some cold showers? Researchers had subjects add a cold shower at the end of their regular hot shower routine to measure its effects on heath and other lifestyle factors. They found that cold showering significantly reduced the number of sick days that the subjects took during the study (though not the number of illness days). The authors hypothesize that this was caused by the invigorating effect of the cold shower, which some subjects compared to a jolt of caffeine. In fact, the subjects enjoyed the cold showering so much that the majority of them continued to do it even after that phase of the study ended.

 - Snapchat video. A London woman is lucky to be alive after falling out a car window onto a busy highway - while filming a Snapchat video. Police say the woman was dangling out the window while the car drove down the M25 motorway. Luckily, neither she nor anyone else were seriously hurt. More than 259 fatal selfie accidents were been recorded worldwide between 2011 and 2017.

 - Air freshener. A British man’s trusty can of air freshener came in handy in scaring off a would-be thief. The man fended off a burglar last year by spraying air freshener in the perpetrator’s eyes. Then, after a man knocked on his door and threatened him with a knife, the man grabbed his can of air freshener from beside the door and sprayed the attempted intruder in the eyes.

One by one they cracked open the containers and found — hundreds and hundreds of women’s shoes. The man is apparently a collector and was allowed to keep his collection.

 - Bats on radar. A colony of bats in Arizona created a cloud so big it showed up on weather radar. The National Weather Service tweeted photos of what appeared to be a giant cloud over Phoenix and Mesa. But it wasn't rain - it was Mexican free-tailed bats, leaving their summer home and migrating south. Bat-watching is actually a popular activity in Arizona, which is home to more than 28 species of the flying mammals.

 - Snake in toilet. A 73-year-old Polish woman was shocked to find a 6½-foot-long anaconda peering up out of her toilet bowl. After she raised the lid of the toilet seat, the lady saw a huge snake that wanted to slither out of the bowl. She immediately slammed down the toilet lid and called police.
