Tom Stilwell =, 20, from England, fell 13 floors from a balcony in Auckland, New Zealand, in June 2013 and despite breaking several bones, survived to tell the tale! Blue whales can hear each other over distances of 100 miles, but it's believed they used to communicate over 1000 miles before human noise pollution increased in recent decades. At the Festival of the Dead Rats, held annually in El Puig, Spain, attendees hit a cucana- a type of- filled with dead rats, and then throw the rats at each other!

Another reason not to visit Spain – the running of the bulls, the bull fights, and the slinging of the rats. I really would like to go there and see the best that Spain has to offer, but rat slinging really was the last straw . . . maybe I’ll visit Portugal if they do not have the same fun sports as Spain.

Tossing dead rats is a fun festival?!?!?!? Well, we are talking about a country where running in the street with stampeding bulls is considered the neat thing to do.

I wonder just how much money was wasted on finding out that all important fact about the blue whale…maybe it just going deaf from old age…poor thing. Another soap box for tree huggers and pointless studies.
