Holy crap! Are you sure that was a baby and not some midget daredevil? He was walking around on that pretty confidently.
I liked the way he was just pulled in real quickly at the end. It's exactly like what I'd do if I saw my kid just walking around on the edge like that, and then the window was closed really quickly too. :biggrin2:

I can't believe this! :gasp:
Breakfast shocker: Froot Loops are all the same flavour
Hang on to your cereal bowls, folks, because this story is about to challenge your childhood memories.
Kellogg's Froot Loops are all the same flavour.
The Straight Dope asserted this way back in 1999, but it took a recent post on the Today I Learned subreddit to make people suddenly pay attention. "According to Kellogg's, all of those delectable loops are flavoured the same," The Straight Dope article revealed.
"Funny how memory works. I distinctly remember my favourite loops to be the purple ones, because they tasted like grape. Who knows what other parts of my childhood I'm misremembering," wrote one Reddit user.
"My mom worked at Kellogg before they were outsourced and told me this years ago. NONE of my friends believed me," another commented.
This week, the cereal experts at Foodbeast did their own taste-tasting experiment in an attempt to disprove this, "only to find that each loop does in fact taste like mildly sweetened cardboard, with negligible or no differences between them."
They followed up the Froot Loops test with Trix and Fruity Pebbles, both of which had similar results.
So while that box of Froot Loops in your cupboard is "packed with delicious fruity taste," that taste is the same, regardless of your favourite loop shade.
Fun fact: when the cereal was introduced in 1962, the only loops available were red, orange and yellow. The rest of the rainbow — green, purple and blue — didn't colour our breakfasts until the '90s.
Also, Cap'n Crunch isn't really a captain.

I get the distinct feeling that food colouring isn't as neutral as companies tell you it is. I think it has its own flavour. People tell me that Pepsi and Crystal Pepsi are the same flavour, just one without food colouring, but they don't taste the same to me.

'God caught her': Teenage girl survives 3,500ft fall
A 16-year-old girl has astonished doctors by surviving a 3,500ft fall after her parachute failed to open properly.
Makenzie Wethington, of Joshua, Texas, was given a skydiving trip to Oklahoma as a gift from her father on her 16th birthday. But the celebration nearly turned to tragedy after her primary parachute failed to open.
Makenzie's older sister Meagan told FOXdfw that the parachute became tangled or failed to open properly during the jump. She also told the US TV station that instructors had attempted to talk her through opening the chute but the girl stopped responding to instructions and may have lost consciousness.
According to trauma surgeon Dr Jeffrey Bender, Makenzie hurt her liver, broke her pelvis, lumbar spine in her lower back, a shoulder blade and several ribs and a tooth in Saturday's fall in Chickasha, Oklahoma.
"I don't know the particulars of the accident, as I wasn't there. But if she truly fell 3,000 feet, I have no idea how she survived," Dr Bender, of OU Medical Centre in Oklahoma City, said.
He said Makenzie was expected to leave the hospital's intensive care unit.
Her father, Joe, who jumped first, landed safely and watched as his daughter spiralled out of control and smashed into the ground in Oklahoma, USA. He subsequently blamed the skydiving company for allowing his daughter to jump.
Nancy Koreen, director of sport promotion at the US Parachute Association, said its safety requirements allow someone who is 16 to make a dive with parental consent, though some places set the age higher. Robert Swainson, owner and chief instructor at Pegasus Air Sports Centre, defended the company, saying Makenzie's father went up with his daughter and was the first to jump.
He told an Oklahoma TV station that the parachute opened "halfway" before he had to watch his daughter's struggle and spiraling freefall to the ground.
"She hit the ground hard," Meagan Wethington said. "God caught her."
