10 Places Where You Shouldn't Keep Your Phone
Today it’s difficult (if not impossible) to find a person without a phone. We take them with us everywhere, even in the shower and in bed. However, keeping your phone in some places can be really dangerous for your device and, even worse, for your health. Did you know, for example, that keeping a phone in the front pocket can have a really negative effect on men’s health? A study from the University of Exeter has proven that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by phones adversely affects the quality and quantity of sperm. The longer a man keeps his phone in his pants, the higher the risk! As for ladies, they aren’t safe either! Even though there’s still no consensus about whether or not cell phone radiation causes cancer, scientists recommend keeping your phone away from your breasts.

9 Things No One Can Do When Meeting the Queen
While most of us will probably never get a chance to meet the Queen, it couldn’t hurt to brush up on your court etiquette, just in case. No one wants to wind up being thrown out of Her Majesty’s dinner party, so you should remember the rules if you want to avoid making a royal fool of yourself. By the way, let’s just assume right here that burping or some other release of gas is forbidden, so we’ll stick to the main ones. Did you know, for example, that using French words is considered impolite when speaking with the Queen, or any member of the royal family? Of course, breaking the rules of etiquette probably won’t get you thrown into the Tower of London in chains, or even out on the street, you should be on your best behavior if you want your royal rendezvous to go smoothly.

A Man Fell Out of the Plane But Pilots Saved Him
When Marine Second Lieutenant Walter Osipoff was boarding a plane on May 15, 1941, he didn't know yet that the flight would almost become his very last. Shortly after the takeoff, an accident that no one could have predicted left the man dangling high in the air, tangled in his parachute and hanging from the aircraft's tail in midflight. It was another regular sunny morning in California, and everything was calm at the North Island Naval airbase. There were no warning signs to the drama that was about to unfold in just a couple of hours. His parachute's ripcord got tangled with the automatic-release cord of the cargo cylinder, and the next thing he knew - his parachute was deploying inside the plane!
