Talk about your tongue twisters
It’s official: Nick Stoeberl who hails from Salinas, Calif., has the longest tongue of any man on earth, says the Association of Mature American Citizens. The folks at the Guinness World Records confirm that it measures nearly four inches - 3.97 inches from teeth to tip, to be precise, and he uses it to paint pictures. His paintings have sold for as much as $1,200 and have earned him the nickname, Likasso.
Saved by the bell
Mauricio Henao parked his car at the base of a hillside on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, Calif., and got out to answer his cell phone; it saved his life. A few moments later a rockslide - including a giant boulder - landed on the car, compressing it in a manner seconds. It happened in the wake of recent torrential rains; the call saved his life, says the Association of Mature American Citizens. Henao was succinct when he described it: “I was in the driver’s seat, walked out, got a call, ran back inside, came out and the car was just totaled,” he told KTLA-TV.
What’ll he do when he turns 9?
Maddock Lipp of Golden, Colo., is 8 years old and likely to soon receive recognition by the Guinness World Record judges for being the youngest person to have skied the slopes of all the world’s seven continents, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens. According to Guinness, to date “the youngest person to ski on all seven continents is Victoria Rae White beginning at the age of 9 years ,88 days in Zermatt, Switzerland and ending aged 10 years, 79 days in Winter Park, Colorado, USA, 16 March 2008.” Despite his age, Maddock has been skiing for half his life so far; he put skis on for the first time when he was four years old.
A sad keepsake
So, how did a Polaroid photo of President John F. Kennedy on the day of his assassination wind up in the Souls Harbor Thrift Store in Ferris, Texas? The Association of Mature American Citizens reports that George Rebele, who hails from Ferris, mysteriously found it when he opened a CD case containing a cassette he had purchased. It’s a mystery that is not likely to be resolved anytime soon. JFK historian Farris Rookstool says the photo appears to have been taken as President Kennedy’s motorcade was traveling from Love Field to downtown Dallas that sad day - November 22, 1963.

Prepare! Don’t let Tornadoes Take You by Surprise
The links below will help you find out what you can do now to prepare for a tornado. Preparation is key to staying safe and minimizing impacts.
Be Weather-Ready: Check the forecast regularly to see if you're at risk for tornadoes. Listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay informed about tornado watches and warnings. Check the WeatherReady Nation for tips.
Sign Up for Notifications: Know how your community sends warnings. Some communities have outdoor sirens. Others depend on media and smart phones to alert residents of severe storms capable of producing tornadoes.
Create a Communications Plan: Have a family plan that includes an emergency meeting place and related information. If you live in a mobile home or home without a basement, identify a nearby safe building you can get too quickly, such as a church or family member.
Pick a safe room in your home, such as a basement, storm cellar, or an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows. Check more ideas for your family plan at: https://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan
Practice Your Plan: Conduct a family severe thunderstorm drill regularly so everyone knows what to do if a tornado is approaching. Make sure all members of your family know to go there when tornado warnings are issued. Don't forget pets if time allows.
Prepare Your Home: Consider having your safe room reinforced. You can find plans for reinforcing an interior room to provide better protection on the Federal Emergency Management Agency website.
Help Your Neighbor: Encourage your loved ones to prepare for the possibility of tornadoes. Take CPR training so you can help if someone is hurt.
Find out what you can do when a tornado strikes. Acting quickly is key to staying safe and minimizing impacts.
Stay Weather-Ready: Continue to listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay updated about tornado watches and warnings.
At Your House: If you are in a tornado warning, go to your basement, safe room, or an interior room away from windows. Don't forget pets if time allows.
At Your Workplace or School: Follow your tornado drill and proceed to your tornado shelter location quickly and calmly. Stay away from windows and do not go to large open rooms such as cafeterias, gymnasiums, or auditoriums.
Outside: Seek shelter inside a sturdy building immediately if a tornado is approaching. Sheds and storage facilities are not safe. Neither is a mobile home or tent. If you have time, get to a safe building.
In a vehicle: Being in a vehicle during a tornado is not safe. The best course of action is to drive to the closest shelter. If you are unable to make it to a safe shelter, either get down in your car and cover your head, or abandon your car and seek shelter in a low lying area such as
or ravine.
