An Irish tribute for Dolly Parton

In an interview during a visit to Ireland some time ago Dolly Parton declared that she has a love for Ireland. In return, an Irish gathering recently in the town of Listowel in County Kerry drew more than 1,100 participants, all of them dressed up and looking like Dolly. They all wore blonde wigs, cowboy boots and rhinestone-covered costumes. Their aim was to show their love for the Queen of Nashville and to raise funds for Kerry Hospice and Comfort for Chemo Kerry.

Life with Barbie

As dismayed as it may be for the “woke” folk among us, the fact is that some 90% of three-to-ten year old American girls still own one or more Barbie dolls, according to Mattel, the company that introduced the iconic toys 60 years ago. A soon-tobe-released Barbie movie is a sexagenarian tribute to the plaything as is the real-life Malibu Barbie DreamHouse in California, which, for the occasion, is available for a short term via the Airbnb realtors for two-person, two-day stays.

For the love of dogs?

A recruitment agency had to take down its internet want ad that read: “Our returning client is seeking an exceptional and highly experienced Dog Nanny to provide top-tier care for their two beloved dogs. They are truly looking for someone at the top of their field who can ensure the overall well-being, happiness, and safety of their dogs.” The agency said it was overwhelmed by applicants. Perhaps it was because there are too many dog lovers out there. Or, maybe, it was that applicants were moved by the offer of the tidy sum of $127,000 a year.

A feat without feet

And the winner of the Guinness World Record for walking down 75 stairs in just 25.03 seconds is 29 year old Hari Chandra Giri who hails from Nepal and who did it the hard way - on his hands. Hari had the edge, though; he’s been walking on his hands since he was eight years old. In fact, over the years he accrued a number of records for walking on his hands, sometimes with a soccer ball between his legs.

“48N48”

These fly boys broke the record for traversing mainland America, landing in each of the 48 states in less than 48 hours. Delta A350 Capt. Barry Behnfeldt and Aaron Wilson and technician Thomas Twiddy took off in their 1980 PA32R Piper Saratoga and landed in each of the contiguous 48 states from Michigan to Maine. And they made what they called their "48N48" trip not in 48 hours but in a record breaking 44 hours and seven minutes.

Is it a car or is it a plane?

The Federal Aviation Administration has given the green light to a unique California-based car company, Alef Aeronautics, for its modern day version of the Model A automobile, one that doubles as an airplane. Alef CEO Jim Dukhovny says “We're excited to receive this certification from the FAA. It allows us to move closer to bringing people an environmentally friendly and faster commute, saving individuals and companies hours each week. This is a one small step for planes, one giant step for cars." It’ll be a while before flying hot rods will be spreading their wings on the nation’s highways. The FAA says the “special airworthiness certificate” granted to Alef is for limited purposes such as exhibition, research and development.

Hyena does the dog paddle - backwards

Hyenas look a lot like a dog but they are not canines; they are of a species all their own, known as Hyaenidae. You can find lots of them on a visit to Kruger National Park in South Africa. All you have to do is to stand by a waterhole and you are likely to see a hyena waiting for prey. That’s what tourist Lambert Fourie did and, sure enough, a hyena appeared. But it wasn’t there to hunt; it was there to swim. In fact, as Fourie put it, “I could hardly believe my eyes as the hyena proceeded to perform what could only be described as a backstroke. All four paws in the air, he was splashing about without a care in the world.” He caught it on tape, a video that has gone viral on the internet.
