New meaning to "cat on a hot tin roof"? (at terminal velocity)

I'd love to have one of those cat copters. Maybe someday. I'm fitting him for blades already. I would still have to learn how to fly him. Cats have really good aerodynamics.

Ig Nobel prize awarded for cow discovery.
PROBABILITY PRIZE Bert Tolkamp, Marie Haskell, Fritha Langford, David Roberts, and Colin Morgan, for making two related discoveries: First, that the longer a cow has been lying down, the more likely that cow will soon stand up; and Second, that once a cow stands up, you cannot easily predict how soon that cow will lie down again.
REFERENCE: “Are Cows More Likely to Lie Down the Longer They Stand?” Bert J. Tolkamp, Marie J. Haskell, Fritha M. Langford, David J. Roberts, Colin A. Morgan, Applied Animal Behaviour Science, vol. 124, nos. 1-2, 2010, pp. 1–10. - See more at: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/09/...s-navigate-by-the-stars/#sthash.J2Du334v.dpuf

According to a new study from economists at the University of California-Berkeley, the Paris School of Economics, and Oxford University, from 2009-2012, average real income per family grew modestly by 6 percent.
However, the distribution of those gains was greatly tilted towards the richest one percent. According to the study, top one percent incomes grew by 31.4 percent while the other 99 percent saw incomes grow by just 0.4 percent from 2009-2012.
