You can see your nose at all times, but your brain chooses to ignore it! Bam! Bam! Bam! A male woodpecker will strike a tree up to 12,000 times a day! On a bet, Thomas Fitzpatrick landed a plane on St. Nicholas Ave. and 191st St. in New York City on September 30, 1956. His second attempt and 1958 landed him in jail.
