- Snake Facemask. How would you react? A British man boarded a city bus wearing an unconventional facemask - a live snake. Fellow passengers shared photos and videos of the man with a large snake wrapped around his face - until it slithered off onto the bus rails. While the passengers were entertained, the bus company didn't think it was funny. A spokesperson said it was "shocked" by the reports and is conducting a full investigation. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-54163293

- Mayflower Day commemorates the day the ship set sail from Plymouth, England in 1620.
On September 16 of 1620, the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England with 102 souls on board. These colonists- men, women, children, some seeking fortune, some seeking religious freedom – were later known as pilgrims.
- How to apologize. Apologizing is never as easy as it seems, and it hardly ends at just saying “I’m sorry.” Your body language, demeanor, and word choice all play a part in how your apology comes across — which is why you need to be extra careful in choosing the words you use. In fact, according to experts, there is one word you should never use whenever you are apologizing: but. According to Tasha Seiter, a therapist in Colorado, “The word ‘but’ is not an apology — it is self-protection disguised as an apology.” Seiter says the problem with the word “but” is that once it’s uttered mid-apology, it is the only word the listener will focus on. Even if you are sincere in saying sorry, the person you’re apologizing to “will immediately get defensive when they hear this word.” … Not only that, the word “but” often makes you look like you’re blaming the other person.
- Tallest mohawk. There is a new world record for the tallest Mohican mohawk. Joseph Grisamore, of Park Rapids, Minnesota, checks in with a mohawk that’s over 42.5 inches tall. Grisamore is 6’1″ tall, which puts him and his mohawk at nearly ten feet. Grisamore said that he doesn’t even use that much product. Usually he gets his hair stylist to tease the base so it can basically stand on its own… Grisamore doesn’t always wear his hair high. He’s an essential worker at a health care facility and usually keeps it braided and in two knots so to avoid sitting on it.
- Dogs and words. How smart is your dog? What words does he know? A study (University of British Columbia) found the average dog knows about 165 words! That’s the same as a two year old child. The two smartest breeds — Border collies and Poodles — have an average vocabulary of 250 words.
- Hearing inside your body. Whoa, did you know this? There’s a rare disease which causes people to hear everything inside their bodies. The rare disorder is called superior semicircular canal dehiscence and it causes patients to hear sounds from within their own body, sounds like food digesting. To correct the disorder in the past, patients would have to undergo surgery that involves drilling a sizable hole in the skull or learn to live with the sounds. But researchers at the UCLA Medical Center developed a minimally invasive surgery with less recovery time so that patients can feel better and get back to work more quickly.
- Drive-ins are popular Joke. Will drive-ins still be popular — or even open — this winter? Reminds me of this joke: Did you hear the one about the two (hick state) guys who froze to death at a drive-in theater? They went to see “Closed for the Winter”.
