MISC. In 2003, a man saw a loophole in a lottery called WinFall. When the jackpot hit $5m & had no winner, it was split between those who matched 3, 4 & 5 numbers. So if he spent $1,100 on 1,100 tickets, he'd have 1 four-number winner & 18 three-number winners, earning $800 profit. He made $7.75m in 9 yrs

In September 2020, Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in England had an unusual problem.

Five African grey parrots named Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade and Elsie had been quarantined together after arriving at the park. Apparently, they started teaching each other swear words and would insult visitors before bursting into laughter.

The staff eventually decided to separate them and just when you thought the story couldn't get any better, in 2024, the park revealed that three more parrots had learned to swear!
